ENGINEERING
Consider laminar flow through a long section of pipe. For laminar flow it turns out that roughness is not a relevant parameter unless $arepsilon$ is very large. The volume flow rate $\dot V$ through the pipe is a function of pipe: diameter D, fluid viscosity $\mu$, and axial pressure gradient dP/dx. If pipe diameter is doubled, all else being equal, by what factor will volume flow rate increase? Use dimensional analysis.
ENGINEERING
A cylinder fitted with a piston contains ammonia at 120 F, 20% quality with a volume of 60 in.3. The ammonia expands slowly, and during this process heat is transferred to maintain a constant temperature. The process continues until all the liquid is gone. Determine the work and heat transfer for this process.

ENGINEERING
Carbon dioxide at a temperature of 0 $^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and a pressure of 600 kPa (abs) flows through a horizontal 40 -mm-diameter pipe with an average velocity of 2 m/s. Determine the friction factor if the pressure drop is 235 $\mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$ per 10 -m length of pipe.
