TRANSPORT PHENOMENA QUIZ 1 (SET A)

TRANSPORT PARAMETER PREDICTION

NAME: ___________________________________________________________________ SCORE: 70

General Instructions: Compute for each transport parameter required then write the letter of the correct answer before the number.
Scratch sheets must be attached to this answer sheet. This exam will be for 1.5 hours only. Write all solutions on the front pages of
your answer sheets. No solutions written at the back pages and written in pencil will be checked. Staple this questionnaire with the
answer sheets during submission time.
