3. Why do you feel cooler with higher fan speed?
4. Can you make tea in space?
5. How does temperature of the boiling pan change when you start boiling milk on gas stove?
6. Why is the handle of tea cup not hot while the rest is hot?
7. Why is n = 0.3 for cooling and n = 0.4 for in Dittus-Boelter equation?
8. Why is diameter of impeller used in calculation of Reynolds number in agitator?
9. Why does water fall when container wall is removed? If no gravity?
10. How does home tap work?
11. You have a closed container with piston on it filled only with liquid. Now you move up the piston.
What will happen?
12. How is pressure developed in liquid when piston is pushed into a cylinder having liquid?
13. Imagine that you have a sample of water in a cylinder fitted with a piston and arrangement is at
vacuum. Suppose that the temperature is held constant at 50 °C, and that weights are placed on a
piston to exert a pressure of 1.0 atm. Vapour pressure at this temperature is 0.12 atm. Slowly the
weights are removed one by one, without the piston moving being moved. What will happen with
time?
