Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Available energy decreases because frictional forces oppose fluid flow. Frictional resistance to flow exists both within the fluid itself (viscosity) and between the fluid and the tube wall. In general, the greater the viscosity of the fluid and the smaller the cross-sectional area of the tube, the greater is the drop in pressure along the tube.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Both CO2 and N2O have critical temperatures above normal room temperature (Table 6-5).
