Question: ( Please follow the steps, show work and answer the question ) Must follow the steps of the Problem - Solving Method ( PSM )

(Please follow the steps, show work and answer the question)
Must follow the steps of the Problem-Solving Method (PSM) shown:
a) Write down the problem
b) Define the problem: Define one or more criteria (measures) for answering the
question, if one is not explicitly given in the problem statement
c) Explore the problem: Generate appropriate questions related to the "measures"
defined in Step 1, identify possible approaches (models) for solving the problem, and make
reasonable assumptions.
d) Plan the solution: Select appropriate values of known and assumed quantities in the
equations and carry out calculations correctly. Produce sketches, figures, and drawings as
necessary.
e) Implement the solution: Substitute appropriate values of know and assumed
quantities in the equations and carry out calculations correctly. Produce sketches, figures, and
drawings as necessary.
f) Evaluate the results: Discuss whether answers make sense and evaluate the
appropriateness of models used and assumptions made. Reflect on your personal strengths
and weaknesses in applying the problem-solving methodology.
Write down all the steps,
Explain all your assumptions.
Provide clear sketches,
Write units in your answers.
Problem (Choice A).
An Astronaut who is on a mission in a very unfamiliar and hazardous area in the Moon environment
is wearing an emergency protective spacesuit. The Astronaut is supplied with oxygen at an average
rate of 0.06kg//s through an artificial "umbilical cord" which is conceptualized as a duct connected
to the spacesuit. The duct has a length of L(796cm = L =804cm). The pressure p and temperature
T of the oxygen at the inlet to the duct are maintained constant to 250+-0.5kPa and 10^(@)C,
respectively, and the pressure at the outlet end of the channel is 50+-0.1kPa. As a newly hired
member of the emergency design team, your responsibility is to help ensure the astronaut's safety
and the successful completion of the mission. You are tasked with determining the average effective
diameter of the duct, given that the only available duct material has an effective relative wall
roughness epsi of 0.005 mm .
