2) tubo-annular (can-annular)

3) annular

What is intra-alveolar surface tension due to?

Intra-alveolar surface tension is due to the presence of surfactant molecules that reduce surface tension within the alveoli, preventing lung collapse by maintaining alveolar stability during breathing. Surfactant helps to reduce the work of breathing and facilitates gas exchange by preventing alveolar collapse at the end of expiration.

What is intermediate interference?

Intermediate interference refers to interference that occurs when a new memory interferes with the retrieval of an older memory, or when an older memory interferes with the retrieval of a more recent memory. This type of interference often occurs when similar information is involved, making it difficult to distinguish between the memories.

Must the flow of a compressible fluid be treated as compressible?

No, if the pressure difference results in a density change of less than thirty percent (30%) the fluid may be treated as incompressible by assuming the density of the fluid equals the average density and that the density is constant.

Is there air pressure in water?

Water is effectively an incompressible substance, so pressure does not affect its' volume. However, its boiling and freezing points are directly related to the external pressure. Water boils when its vapor pressure is equal to the external pressure (or the atmospheric pressure if it is contained in some uncovered pot). Greater external pressure requires higher temperature for water so as to have that value of vapor pressure for it to boil. This is how pressure affects water.

Why does a diver change his body position before and after diving in the pool?

Hence the diver must spin faster when moment of inertia become smaller to conserve angular momentum. In this way the diver can make more somersaults before entering the water.

Relation between power and discharge of a reciprocating pump?

The power required by a reciprocating pump is directly proportional to the discharge it produces. When the discharge increases, the power needed to maintain that flow rate also increases. This relationship is governed by the pump efficiency and the pressure head against which the pump is operating.

Give the example for finite difference method in fluid dynamics?

In fluid dynamics, a common example of using finite difference method is the discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations to solve for fluid flow equations. This entails approximating spatial derivatives with finite differences on a grid, which allows for numerical simulation of the fluid behavior in a computational domain.

Does helium in super fluid state allow electricity to flow 100 percent friction free?

Yes, when helium is in its superfluid state, it can conduct electricity with extremely low resistance due to its unique properties like zero viscosity and infinite thermal conductivity. This allows electricity to flow nearly friction-free, making it an ideal medium for certain applications like superconducting circuits and sensors.

How does a thermometer help when comparing the energies of particles?

A thermometer measures the amount of thermal energy a material has. This thermal energy is related to the vibrational and rotational energy the particles in the material have.

By using the thermometer to measure the temperature of a material you are, in effect, measuring the amount of energy the particles of that material have.

Write a rule that give the height of the object overtime I toss an object so it reaches its highest point of 2 meters after half a second?

The height ( h ) of the object at time ( t ) can be modeled by the equation ( h(t) = -4.9t^2 + 5t ), where ( t ) is the time in seconds. This equation represents the object's height over time while it reaches its highest point at 2 meters after 0.5 seconds, then falls back down due to gravity.

A slab of ice floats on a freshwater lake What minimum volume must the slab have for a 45.0kg woman to be able to stand on it without getting her feet wet?

The minimum volume of the ice slab would need to displace at least 45.0 kg of water to support the woman's weight without sinking. Given that freshwater has a density of approximately 1000 kg/m^3, the minimum volume can be calculated as 0.045 m^3 (45.0 kg / 1000 kg/m^3).

Describe a case in which electrical energy is converted into thermal energy?

hair dryer, electrical energy enters the hair dryer and is converted to kinetic energy as a small motor spins a fan blade the electrical energy is converted to thermal by a grind of wires that heat up

What do you call a person who studies dynamics?

A person who studies dynamics is typically called a "dynamics researcher" or a "dynamics scientist." Their specific area of study may be more specialized, such as a "mechanical engineer" if they focus on mechanical dynamics or a "fluid dynamics researcher" if they study the dynamics of fluids.

One example of an extrusion is a?

One example of an extrusion is the process of creating metal rails or bars by forcing raw metal through a shaped die to produce a continuous profile.

Does water heat faster than motor oil?

Motor oil heats faster than water, as water has one of the highest specific heat capacities. (It takes more energy to increase the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1 °C than to increase the temperature of 1 kg of oil by 1°C)

How long dose it take a drop of food dye to color a glass of still water?

It depends on the temperature and the size of the glass. It also depends on what you mean by "color" ... does it have to appear to be a uniform color, or does it just need to no longer be colorless in the far corners?

If you really want to know, get a glass of water and some food coloring, and measure it.

How do you turn a powder into solid?

powder IS solid.

However, if you wanna make it into a larger chunk again, there are several ways. One is to melt it, then cool it, and you will have solid. However, you could dissolve it into other solutions, and then evaporate that solution, to form larger chunks, etc. =)

Why will hot water leak more rapidly than cold water through small leaks in a car radiator?

It is not so much the temperature of the water but the pressure that the hot water produces. If you will look at almost any car radiator cap you will notice a warning that says something to the effect
'warning contents under pressure. Do not remove when hot.'

When can you safely assume any gas is ideal?

Characteristics of an ideal gas:
- an extremely low concentration
- molecules are in a permanent motion
- Newton laws can be applied
- all collisions are elastic
- molecules are spherical
- molecules are not compressible

Why does pump head decrease as volume flow rate increases?

Pump head decreases as volume flow rate increases due to the principle of conservation of energy. As the flow rate increases, the speed of the fluid also increases, resulting in higher kinetic energy. This leads to a drop in pressure and pump head as the energy is converted into kinetic energy instead of potential energy.

Is the pressure strength measurement 2.4GPa higher than 27.6MPa?

2.4 GPa is greater as giga is x10 to the power of 9 while mega is x10 to the power of 6.

2,400,000,000

or

27,600,000

i.e.

2.4 GPa = 2,400x106

2.76 MPa = 2.76x106

Is pressure loss larger in liquid flow or gas-liquid flow?

Pressure loss is typically larger in gas-liquid flow compared to liquid flow due to the compressibility of gas. Gas-liquid flow can experience significant pressure drops due to the expansion and compression of gas bubbles within the liquid, leading to greater friction losses.

Why does water evaporates faster at 100 degree Celsius than 200 degree Celsius?

Water evaporates faster at 100 degrees Celsius compared to 200 degrees Celsius because at 100 degrees Celsius, water reaches its boiling point and undergoes a phase change from liquid to gas. At 200 degrees Celsius, water is already in the vapor state, so there is no further evaporation taking place.
