Consider a laminar flow at zero over a flat plate . The shear stress at the wall is denoted by $${\tau _w}.$$ The axial positions $${x_1}$$ and $${x_2}$$ on the plate are measured from the leading edge in the direction of flow. If $${x_2} > {x_1},$$ then

The arrangement shown in the figure measures the velocity $$V$$ of a gas of density $$1kg/{m^3}$$ flowing through a pipe. The acceleration due to gravity is $$9.81m/{s^2}.$$ If the manometric fluid is water (density $${1000kg/{m^3}}$$ ) and the velocity $$V$$ is $$20 m/s,$$ the differential head $$h$$ (in $$mm$$) between the two arms of the manometer is ______.

For the stability of a floating body the

The heat loss from a fin is $$6W.$$ The effectiveness of the fin are $$3$$ and $$0.75,$$ respectively. The heat loss (in $$W$$) from the fin, keeping the entire fin surface at base temperature, is ___________________
