Exercise 1.8. Consider the viscous flow in a channel of width 2b. The channel is aligned in the
x-direction, and the velocity u in the x-direction at a distance y from the channel centerline is

Exercise 1.26. Compute the speed of sound in air at –40°C (very cold winter temperature), at
+45°C (very hot summer temperature), at 400°C (automobile exhaust temperature), and 2000°C
(nominal hydrocarbon adiabatic flame temperature)
c = γ RT , or c = γ R[273+ (T in °C)] .
Presuming that the R = 287 m2s–2K–1 applies at the four temperatures given, the four sound
