(a) (b) Define the meaning of a critical point and triple point. [C1, SP1][2 marks] Hairdryer is an electromechanical device that blows ambient or hot air over damp hair to speed the evaporation of water to dry the hair. To design a hairdryer, it should contain the following basic components: a duct of constant diameter with a few layers of electric coils, a small fan to pull the air in and force it through the heating coils. If the density of air is 1.18 kg/m³ at the inlet and 0.90 kg/m³ at the exit, calculate the percent increase in the velocity of air as it flows through the dryer. [C4, SP2][4 marks]
