1.Methane at 10?C and 600 kPa (absolute) is to be transported via pipeline at a flow rate of 0.1 N/s. (a) Calculate the density of carbon dioxide under these conditions and perform an online search to determine the dynamic viscosity of carbon dioxide at the given temperature and pressure. (b) For what range of pipe diameters will the flow be turbulent?
2.Assume that the daily maximum wind speed at a given location follows a Gaussian distribution with a mean speed of 15 mph and a coefficient of variation of 67%. (a) Determine the asymptotic distribution of the annual maximum wind speed for the location, that is, specify the asymptotic type of the distribution and the associated parameters. (b) Using the results of (a), derive the corresponding asymptotic distribution for the 50-year maximum wind speed and estimate its mean value.
