Typical residential shower controls mix streams of hot water (140 F, or 60 C) with cold water (60 F, or 15 C) to form a stream o

f 40 C (104 F) water. The entire system loses energy to the surroundings at a rate of 5 kJ/kg of exiting water. What is the ratio of cold water-to-hot water mass flow rates necessary to provide the 40 C water?

Answer:

  4:5

Explanation:

Let x represent the fraction of the mix that is hot water. Then the temperature of the mix is ...

  60x +15(1-x) = 40·1

  45x = 25 . . . . . . . . . subtract 15

  x = 25/45 = 5/9 . . . divide by the coefficient of x

This is the fraction that is hot water, so the fraction that is cold water is ...

  1-5/9 = 4/9

The ratio of cold to hot is ...

  cold : hot = (4/9) : (5/9) = 4 : 5

_____

<em>Additional comments</em>

The problem assumes that the energy contained in a given mass of water is proportional to its temperature. That is almost true, sufficiently so that we can reasonably use that approximation.

If heat loss is figured into the problem, then additional information is needed regarding the energy content of water at temperatures in the range of interest. That is not provided by this problem statement, so we have ignored the heat loss.

Which of the following conditions creates the largest waves?
SashulF [63]

Answer:

strong winds that blow in short spurts over a small distance

Explanation:

Generally, the most common factor that causes the largest waves in the ocean is winds. this is also called wind-driven waves of the ocean when the surface wind flows on the surface of the ocean, this disturbance creates the friction between surface wind and surface of the ocean which creates waves in the ocean
