An electric power plant uses solid waste for fuel in the production of electricity. The cost Y in dollars per hour to produce el

ectricity is Y = 12+ .3x+.27x2, where x is in megawatts. Revenue in dollars per hour from the sale of electricity is 15x-.2x2. Find the value of X that gives maximum profit.

Answer:

15.64 MW

Explanation:

The computation of value of X that gives maximum profit is shown below:-

Profit = Revenue - Cost

= 15x - 0.2x 2 - 12 - 0.3x - 0.27x 2

= 14.7x - .47x^2 - 12

After solving the above equation we will get maximum differentiate  for profit that is

14.7 - 0.94x = 0

So,

x = 15.64 MW

Therefore for computing the value of X that gives maximum profit we simply solve the above equation.

A thin-walled tube with a diameter of 6 mm and length of 20 m is used to carry exhaust gas from a smoke stack to the laboratory
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mean temperature is given by

T_mean = \frac{T_i + T_ \infinity}{2}\\\\T_mean = \frac{200 + 15}{2}

Tmean = (Ti + T∞)/2

T_mean = 107.5^{0}

Tmean = 107.5⁰C

Tmean = 107.5 + 273 = 380.5K

Properties of air at mean temperature

v = 24.2689 × 10⁻⁶m²/s

α = 35.024 × 10⁻⁶m²/s

\mu = 221.6 × 10⁻⁷N.s/m²

\kappa = 0.0323 W/m.K

Cp = 1012 J/kg.K

Pr = v/α  = 24.2689 × 10⁻⁶/35.024 × 10⁻⁶

              = 0.693

Reynold's number, Re

Pv = 4m/πD²

where Re = (Pv * D)/\mu

Substituting for Pv

Re = 4m/(πD\mu)

     = (4 x 0.003)/( π × 6 ×10⁻³ × 221.6 × 10⁻⁷)

     = 28728.3

Since Re > 2000, the flow is turbulent

For turbulent flows, Use

Dittus - Doeltr correlation with n = 0.03

Nu = 0.023Re⁰⁸Pr⁰³ = (h₁D)/k

(h₁ × 0.006)/0.0323 = 0.023(28728.3)⁰⁸(0.693)⁰³

(h₁ × 0.006)/0.0323 = 75.962

h₁ = (75.962 × 0.0323)/0.006

h₁ = 408.93 W/m².K

Bulk wind shear is calculated by finding the vector difference between the winds at two different heights. Using the supercell w
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

2. 0-1 km shear value: taking winds at 1000mb and 850 mb

15 kts south easterly and 50 kts southerly

Vector difference 135/15 and 180/50 will be 170/61 or southerly 61 kts

3. 0-6 km shear value: taking winds at 1000 mb and 500 mb

15 kts south easterly and 40 kts westerly

Vector difference 135/15 and 270/40 will be 281/51 kts

A 2-cm-diameter vertical water jet is injected upward by a nozzle at a speed of 15 m/s. Determine the maximum weight of a flat p
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:58.28 N

Explanation:

Given data

dia. of nozzle \left ( d\right )=2 cm

initial velocity\left ( u\right )=15 m/s

height\left ( h\right )=2m

Now velocity of jet at height of 2m

v^2-u^2=2gh

v^2=15^2-2\left ( 9.81\right )\left ( 2\right )

v=\sqrt{185.76}=13.62 m/s

Now\ forces\ on\ plate\ are\ weight\left ( Downward\right ) and jet\ force\left ( upward\right )

equating them

W=\left ( \rho Av\right )v

W=10^{3}\times \frac{\pi}{4}\left ( 0.02\right )^2\times 13.62^2

W=58.28 N
