1. Energy consumption in a country from 2001 to 2011 increased from 1041.3 million
to 1526.1 million BOE (barrels of oil equivalent). If the high calorific value (HHV) of the oil
is 141,000 kJ/gallon what is the increase in energy consumption over 10 years in
Joule units. What is the rate of energy consumption per year?
2. Based on data on the rate of energy consumption per year from question no. 1, if the growth rate
energy 2.5% per year, calculate the doubling time (td) and what is the approximate rate of
energy growth in 2021.

- Velocity squared divided by double gravity is called the velocity head. If the mass entering a tank is greater than the mass exiting the tank, then the amount of mass in the tank will decrease through time. A flow in a pipe that has a Reynolds number of 105 would be considered a T F T F T F turbulent. d. T F The partial derivative of velocity with respect to time is called the convective acceleration. F The center of pressure is never above the centroid of a planar surface. An object submerged in oil (S = 0.88) will have a smaller buoyant force acting on it than when it is submerged in water. Turbulent flow in pipes tends to have a more uniform mean velocity profile than laminar flow in pipes. The Bernoulli equation requires that the two points in question are on the same streamline. e T F F h F i The weight of an object is different under water than it is out of the water.
