Lucas built a model to show the effect of human population growth on an aquifer that supplies water for a growing city. Recent measurements show that the levels of water in the aquifer are dropping at a rate that correlates with population growth. Lucas placed a tub under a stream of water until the tub filled and began to overflow. Then he used a water pump to begin removing water from the tub. At first he pumped slowly, and the water still overflowed. Then he pumped harder until, eventually, the water level in the tub began to go down. What is represented by the pump in this model?

Along 8-cm diameter steam pipe whose external surface temperature is 900c connects two buildings. the pipe is exposed to ambient air at 70c with a wind speed of 50 km/hr blowing across the pipe. determine the heat loss from the pipe per unit length. (b) air at 500c enters a section of a rectangular duct (15 cm x 20 cm) at an average velocity of 7 m/s. if the walls of the duct are maintained at 100c. a) the length of the tube for an exit temperature of the air to be 40 0c. b)the rate of heat transfer from the air. c) the fan power needed to overcome the pressure drop in this section of the duct.

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.

Apreheater involves the use of condensing steam at 100°c on the inside of a bank of tubes to heat air that enters at 1 atm and 25°c. the air moves at 5 m/s in cross flow over the tubes. each tube is 1 m long and has an outside diameter of 10 mm. what is the minimum value of nl needed to achieve an outlet temperature of t 75 c? what is the corresponding pressure drop across the tube bank?
