The heating element of a water heater in an apartment building has a maximum power output of 37 kW. Four residents of the buildi

ng take showers at the same time, and each receives heated water at a volume flow rate of 11x10-5 m3/s. If the water going into the heater has a temperature of 14°C, what is the maximum possible temperature of the hot water that each showering resident receives

Answer:

maximum possible temperature is 34.088°C

Explanation:

Given data

power output Q = 37 kW

volume flow rate = 11 x 10^-5 m3/s

temperature t = 14°C

to find out

maximum possible temperature T

solution

we can say

total water volume  = 4 residents  × volume flow

total water volume = 4 × 11 x 10^-5  = 44 × 10^-5 m³/s

so we say total water mass = 1000 × volume

total water mass = 1000 kg/m³ ×  44 × 10^-5  

total water mass = 0.44 kg

we know

dQ/dt = (dm/dt)× (S)× ( T - t)

so here we know specific heat of water S = 4.186 joule/gram °C

37 = 0.44 × 4.186 × (T-14)

T = 34.088°C

maximum possible temperature is 34.088°C

Fiber-optic cables are used widely for internet wiring, data transmission, and surgeries. When light passes through a fiber-opti
Gwar [14]
After one meter, 3.4% of the light is gone ... either soaked up in the fiber
material or escaped from it.  So only  (100 - 3.4) = 96.6% of the light
remains, to go on to the next meter.

After the second meter,  96.6%  of what entered it emerges from it, and
that's  96.6%  of  96.6%  of the original signal that entered the beginning
of the fiber.

==>  After 2 meters, the intensity has dwindled to  (0.966)² of its original level.
It's that exponent of ' 2 ' that corresponds to the number of meters that the light
has traveled through.

==>  After  'x'  meters of fiber, the remaininglight intensity is (0.966) ^x-power
of its original value.

If you shine 1,500 lumens into the front of the fiber, then after 'x' meters of
cable, you'll have
                                                     <em>(1,500) · (0.966)^x</em>
lumens of light remaining.
 
=========================================

The genius engineers in the fiber design industry would not handle it this way.
When they look up the 'attenuation' of the cable in the fiber manufacturer's
catalog, it would say  "15dB per 100 meters".

What does that mean ?    Break it down:  15dB in 100 meters is <u>0.15dB per meter</u>.
Now, watch this:

Up at the top, the problem told us that the loss in 1 meter is  3.4% .  We applied
super high mathematics to that and calculated that  96.6% remains, or  0.966.

Look at this  ==>      10 log(0.966) =  <em><u>-0.15</u>  </em>  <==  loss per meter, in dB .

Armed with this information, the engineer ... calculating the loss in  'x'  meters of
fiber cable, doesn't have to mess with raising numbers to powers.  All he has to
do is say ...

--  0.15 dB loss per meter

--  'x' meters of cable

--  0.15x dB of loss.

If  'x' happens to be, say,  72 meters, then the loss is  (72) (0.15) = 10.8 dB .

and  10 ^ (-10.8/10) = 10 ^ -1.08 = 0.083  =  <em>8.3%</em>  <== <u>That's</u> how much light
he'll have left after 72 meters, and all he had to do was a simple multiplication.

Sorry. Didn't mean to ramble on. But I do stuff like this every day.
