The number of students in a cafeteria is modeled by the function p that satisfies the logistic differential equation dp/dt = 1/2

000 p(200-p), where t is the time in seconds and p(0) = 25. what is the greatest rate of change, in students per second, of the number of students in the cafeteria?

The function that we are given represents the rate of change. If p is the number of students in the cafeteria and you take the first derivative with respect to time you get the rate of change. Now we have to find the maxima of this function. This is usually done by finding the first derivate and then finding its roots. In this case, we are not explicitly given the function p(t) so we can't do that. You could solve the given differential equation and then find the second derivative. However, there is an easier way. We know that parabola has its maximum in the vertex. So all we have to do is find the vertex of the parabola we are given.
p'(t)=\frac{1}{2000}p(200-p)\\ p'(t)=\frac{1}{2000}(200p-p^2)\\ p'(t)=-\frac{p^2}{2000}+\frac{p}{10}
So we are given parabola with the following parameters:
a=-\frac{1}{2000}\\ b=\frac{1}{10}\\ c=0
The x (or in our case p coordinate) coordinate of the vertex is given with this formula:
p_v=\frac{-b}{2a}\\ p_v=100
We plug this back into the original equation to obtain the maximum rate of change:
p'_{max}=-\frac{100^2}{2000}+\frac{100}{10}=5$students/s

Answer:

Maximum rate of change will be

(\frac{dp}{dt})_{max} = 5 at p = 100

Explanation:

As we know that rate of change in students per second is given by

r = \frac{dp}{dt} = \frac{1}{2000} p(200 - p)

here we need to find the greatest rate of change in the number of students

So in order to find the greatest value of the rate of students we have to put the differentiation of of the above function to be zero

so we have

\frac{dr}{dp} = 0

0 = \frac{1}{2000} (200 - 2p)

by solving above equation we have

p = 100

so maximum rate of students will be at the condition when p = 100

so the value of maximum rate will be

\frac{dp}{dt} = \frac{1}{2000}(100)(200 - 100)

\frac{dp}{dt} = 5

A refrigerator is used to cool water from 23°C to 5°C in a continuous manner. The heat rejected in the condenser is 570 kJ/min a
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer: Q=5.46 L/s

COP=2.58

Explanation:

Given that

Cp = 4.18 kJ/(kg.C

density  = 1 kg/L

Heat rejected Qr= 570 kJ/min

Power in put W= 2.65 KW

From first law of thermodynamics

U = W+ q

q = Heat absorbed

U = internal energy

W = workdone

U = 570 kJ/min  = 9.5 KW

9.5 = 2.65 + q

q = 6.85 KW

COP = q/W

COP = 6.58 / 2.65

COP=2.58

Lets take volume flow rate is Q

So mass flow rate of water m = ρ Q

q = m Cp ΔT

6.85 = 1 x Q x 4.18 ( 23-5)

Q=0.091 L/min

Q=5.46 L/s

11 e) Can a conductor be given limitless charge? Obtain the equivalent resistance of several resistors if (a) they are in series
horsena [70]

Answer:

(e) no

(a) Rs = R' + R'' + R'''

(b) 1/Rp = 1/R' + 1/R'' + 1/R'''

Explanation:

11 e)

Practically it is not possible to give limitless charge to a conductor. It depends to the number of valence electrons.

(a) When the three resistances R'. R'' and R''' is in series combination.

Let they are connected to the voltage V and the current in each resistance is I.

According to Ohm's law

Voltage across R', V' = I R'

Voltage across R'', V'' = I R''

Voltage across R''', V''' = I R'''

So, let the equivalent resistance is Rs.

I Rs = I R' + I R'' + I R'''

Rs = R' + R'' + R'''

(b)

When the three resistances R'. R'' and R''' is in parallel combination.

Let they are connected to the voltage V and the current in each resistance is I', I''. I'''.

Current in R', I' = V/R'

Current in R'', I'' = V/R''

Current in R''', I''' = V/R'''

The equivalent resistance is Rp.

V/Rp = V/R' + V/ R'' + V/R'''

1/Rp = 1/R' + 1/R'' + 1/R'''
