Water flows through a $$10$$ $$mm$$ diameter and $$250$$ $$m$$ long smooth pipe at an average velocity of $$0.1$$ $$m/s.$$ The density and the viscosity of water are $$997kg/{m^3}$$ and $$855 \times {10^{ - 6}}$$ $$N.s/{m^2},$$ respectively. Assuming fully-developed flow, the pressure drop (in $$Pa$$) in the pipe is ______________

A material $$P$$ of thickness $$1$$ $$mm$$ is sandwiched between two steel slabs, as shown in the figure below. $$A$$ heat flux $$10\,kW/{m^2}$$ is supplied to one of the steel slabs as shown. The boundary temperatures of the slabs are indicated in the figure. Assume thermal conductivity of this steel is $$10W/m.K.$$. Considering one-dimensional steady state heat conduction for the configuration, the thermal conductivity ($$k$$, in $$W/m.K$$) of material $$P$$ is _____________

For laminar forced convection over a flat plate, if the free stream velocity increases by a factor of $$2,$$ the average heat transfer coefficient
