Answer:

Best case = 2 gloves

Given Information:

Red gloves = 5 pairs

Yellow gloves = 4 pairs

Green gloves = 2 pairs

smallest number of gloves you need to select to have at least one matching pair in the best case = ?

Explanation:

How many gloves do you need to make one matching pair?

2

Yes, you are right. 2 gloves makes a matching pair and it is the smallest number of gloves you need to select to have at least one matching pair.

But what about worst case?

lets say

you tried all 5 red gloves either all of them were left or right

then you tried 4 yellow gloves either all of them were left or right

then you tried 2 green gloves either all of them were left or right

Now all the left or right gloves are tried (5 + 4 + 2 = 11) and the 12th one will definitely be either matching red, yellow or green.

Therefore, in the worst case scenario, the smallest number of gloves you need to select to have at least one matching pair is 12.

Water at atmospheric pressure boils on the surface of a large horizontal copper tube. The heat flux is 90% of the critical value
masya89 [10]

Answer:

The tube surface temperature immediately after installation is 120.4°C and after prolonged service is 110.8°C

Explanation:

The properties of water at 100°C and 1 atm are:

pL = 957.9 kg/m³

pV = 0.596 kg/m³

ΔHL = 2257 kJ/kg

CpL = 4.217 kJ/kg K

uL = 279x10⁻⁶Ns/m²

KL = 0.68 W/m K

σ = 58.9x10³N/m

When the water boils on the surface its heat flux is:

q=0.149h_{fg} \rho _{v} (\frac{\sigma (\rho _{L}-\rho _{v})}{\rho _{v}^{2} }  )^{1/4} =0.149*2257*0.596*(\frac{58.9x10^{-3}*(957.9-0.596) }{0.596^{2} } )^{1/4} =18703.42W/m^{2}

For copper-water, the properties are:

Cfg = 0.0128

The heat flux is:

qn = 0.9 * 18703.42 = 16833.078 W/m²

q_{n} =uK(\frac{g(\rho_{L}-\rho _{v})     }{\sigma })^{1/2} (\frac{c_{pL}*deltaT }{c_{fg}h_{fg}Pr  } \\16833.078=279x10^{-6} *2257x10^{3} (\frac{9.8*(957.9-0.596)}{0.596} )^{1/2} *(\frac{4.127x10^{3}*delta-T }{0.0128*2257x10^{3}*1.76 } )^{3} \\delta-T=20.4

The tube surface temperature immediately after installation is:

Tinst = 100 + 20.4 = 120.4°C

For rough surfaces, Cfg = 0.0068. Using the same equation:

ΔT = 10.8°C

The tube surface temperature after prolonged service is:

Tprolo = 100 + 10.8 = 110.8°C

A continuous random variable, X, whose probability density function is given by f(x) = ( λe−λx , if x ≥ 0 0, otherwise is said t
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

a) F(x) = \lambda \int_0^{\infty} e^{-\lambda x} dx= -e^{-\lambda x} \Big|_0^{\infty} = 1- e^{-\lambda x} \

b) P(10 < X

Explanation:

Previous concepts

The cumulative distribution function (CDF) F(x),"describes the probability that a random variableX with a given probability distribution will be found at a value less than or equal to x".

The exponential distribution is "the probability distribution of the time between events in a Poisson process (a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate). It is a particular case of the gamma distribution".

Part a

Let X the random variable of interest. We know on this case that X\sim Exp(\lambda)

And we know the probability denisty function for x given by:

f(x) = \lambda e^{-\lambda x} , x\geq 0

In order to find the cdf we need to do the following integral:

F(x) = \lambda \int_0^{\infty} e^{-\lambda x} dx= -e^{-\lambda x} \Big|_0^{\infty} = 1- e^{-\lambda x} \

Part b

Assuming that X \sim Exp(\lambda =0.1), then the density function is given by:

f(x) = 0.1 e^{-0.1 x} dx , x\geq 0

And for this case we want this probability:

P(10 < X

And evaluating the integral we got:

P(10 < X

Ignoring any losses, estimate how much energy (in units of Btu) is required to raise the temperature of water in a 90-gallon hot
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Q=36444.11 Btu

Explanation:

Given that

Initial temperature = 60° F

Final temperature = 110° F

Specific heat of water = 0.999 Btu/lbm.R

Volume of water = 90 gallon

Mass = Volume x density

1\ gallon = 0.13ft^3

Mass ,m= 90 x 0.13 x 62.36 lbm

m=729.62 lbm

We know that sensible heat given as

Q= m Cp ΔT

Now by putting the values

Q= 729.62 x 0.999 x (110-60) Btu

Q=36444.11 Btu
