Answer:

Sensor/transducer: bimetallic thermometer

Output: displacement of thermometer tip

Control Tstages: mercury contact switch (open:furnace off; closed:furnace on

Explanation:

for a standard room thermostat : This is the device that sets/determines the temperature of an enclosure.

Sensor/transducer: bimetallic thermometer: Bimetalic thermometer are used for measuring the temperature of the ambient air . bimetallic thermometer actually contains two metals. they undergo linear expansivity as the temperature of the room changes.in other words, they experience contraction and expansion with increase or decrease in temperature.The sensor is basically coupled with a transducer which turns the measured variable(Temperature) into something else, such as a movement on a dial or an electrical signal

Output: displacement of thermometer tip

Controller: mercury contact switch (open:furnace off; closed:furnace on)

once the contact switch is open the furnace can go off. when the contact switch is closed, the furnace will come up.

X cotx expansion using maclaurins theorem.

Lemur [1.5K]

It is to be noted that it is impossible to find the Maclaurin Expansion for F(x) = cotx.

<h3>What is Maclaurin Expansion?</h3>

The Maclaurin Expansion is a Taylor series that has been expanded around the reference point zero and has the formula f(x)=f(0)+f′. (0) 1! x+f″ (0) 2! x2+⋯+f[n](0)n!

<h3>What is the explanation for the above?</h3>

as indicated above, the Maclaurin infinite series expansion is given as:

F(x)=f(0)+f′. (0) 1! x+f″ (0) 2! x2+⋯+f[n](0)n!

If F(0) = Cot 0

F(0) = ∝ = 1/0

This is not definitive,

Hence, it is impossible to find the Maclaurin infinite series expansion for F(x) = cotx.

A lake has a carrying capacity of 10,000 fish. At the current level of fishing, 2,000 fish per year are taken with the catch uni

arlik [135]

Answer:

The population size would be $p' = 5000$

The yield would be $MaxYield = 2082 \ fishes \ per \ year$

Explanation:

So in this problem we are going to be examining the application of a population dynamics a fishing pond and stock fishing and objective would be to obtain the maximum sustainable yield and and the population of the fish at the obtained maximum sustainable yield, so basically we would be applying an engineering solution to fishing

So the current yield which is mathematically represented as

$\frac{dN}{dt} = \frac{2000}{1 \ year }$

Where dN is the change in the number of fish

and dt is the change in time

So in order to obtain the solution we need to obtain the rate of growth

For this we would be making use of the growth rate equation which is

$r = \frac{[\frac{dN}{dt}] }{N[1-\frac{N}{K} ]}$

Where N is the population of the fish which is given as 4,000 fishes

and K is the carrying capacity which is given as 10,000 fishes

r is the growth rate

Substituting these values into the equation

$r = \frac{[\frac{2000}{year}] }{4000[1-\frac{4000}{10,000} ]} =0.833$

The maximum sustainable yield would be dependent on the growth rate an the carrying capacity and this mathematically represented as

$Max Yield = \frac{rK}{4} = \frac{(10,000)(0.833)}{4} = 2082 \ fishes \ per \ year$

So since the maximum sustainable yield is 2082 then the the population need to be higher than 4,000 so in order to ensure a that this maximum yield the population size denoted by $p'$ would be

$p' = \frac{K}{2} = \frac{10,000}{2} = 5000\ fishes$

What type of test can show a chemical engineer if a material remains in a system and accumulates or if it moves right through?

UkoKoshka [18]

A chemical engineer can clearly see from this kind of test if a substance stays in a system and builds up or if it just passes through.

<h3>What is a chemical engineer?</h3>

Processes for manufacturing chemicals are created and designed by chemical engineers.
To solve issues involving the manufacture or usage of chemicals, fuel, medications, food, and many other goods, chemical engineers use the concepts of chemistry, biology, physics, and math.
A wide range of sectors, including petrochemicals and energy in general, polymers, sophisticated materials, microelectronics, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, foods, paper, dyes, and fertilizers, have a significant demand for chemical engineers.
Chemical engineering is undoubtedly difficult because it requires a lot of physics and math, as well as a significant number of exams at the degree level.

Airflow through a long, 0.15-m-square air conditioning duct maintains the outer duct surface temperature at 10°C. If the horizon

Ulleksa [173]

The complete Question is:

Airflow through a long, 0.15-m-square air conditioning duct maintains the outer duct surface temperature at 10°C. If the horizontal duct is uninsulated and exposed to air at 35°C in the crawlspace beneath a home, what is the heat gain per unit length of the duct? Evaluate the properties of air at 300 K. For the sides of the duct, use the more accurate Churchill and Chu correlations for laminar flow on vertical plates.

What is the Rayleigh number for free convection on the outer sides of the duct?
