Question 1
Carbon dioxide at 30o and 300 kPa absolute pressures expands isothermally to an absolute pressure of 165 kPa.
Determine the final density of the gas.
Question 2
The velocity distribution for the flow of Newtonian fluid between two wide, parallel plates is given by the
equation

where V is the mean velocity. The fluid has a viscosity of 1.5 Ns/m2. When the velocity is 0.8 m/s and h = 5
mm determine: a) the shearing stress on the bottom wall, and b) the shearing stress acting on a plane parallel to
the wall and passing through the centerline.
