Answer:

1. Establish goals.

2. Generate solutions.

3. Implement solutions.

Explanation:

The problem-solving process can be defined as the systematic approach used to identify and determine the solution to a particular problem.

The steps involved in the problem-solving process are;

1. Identify and define the problem: this is the first step to be taken in solving a problem. This is to ensure that, the focus is on the main issue or situation (goal) and all efforts is channeled in the right direction rather than the symptoms.

2. Gathering of information: this helps to consider the options available in solving a problem effectively.

3. Consider your options: this helps to compare the available and viable solutions to the problem.

4. Weigh disadvantages and evaluate a solution: you weigh the disadvantages of each solution, before choosing the one with the least disadvantages.

In this scenario, the problem-solving steps are appropriately and accurately matched with the a real-life problem below;

Establish goals: Karen wants to graduate with an accounting degree to become a budget analyst. She has identified and established her goal, which is to obtain an accounting degree so as to become a budget analyst.
Generate solutions: Karen researches accounting programs at various universities. Next, she made a research on possible solutions to help her achieve her goals.
Implement solutions: Karen enrolls in a nationally accredited business school at a university. Finally, she settles with the best solution with respect to obtaining an accounting degree and a business analyst in the long-run.

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

Height h = 1.03m

Volume v = 3780 gallons = 3780 * 0.0037851m^3 = 14.3073m^3

Time t = 13.5 mins = 13.5 * 60 = 810 seconds

Length of pool L = 14 inch = 14 * 2.54 = 35.56cm

width of pool b = 48 inch = 48 * 2.54 = 121.92 cm

a.) Consider the bernoulli's equation is given as:

$P_1+\rho gh_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \rho gh_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 ...(1)$

consider the equation of bernoulli at the top of the pool

$P_0+\rho gh_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 =constant ...(2)$

where $P_1=P_0$ atm pressure

At the top of the pool $v_1=0m/s$ , substitute in V_1 in equation (2)

$P_0+\rho gh_1 =constant ...(3)$

Hence equation (3) serves as the bernoullis equation at the top.

b.) Consider the equation of bernoulli's at the opening of the pool

$P_2+\rho gh_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 =constant ...(4)\\P_0+\rho gh_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 =constant ...(5)$

where $P_2=P_0$ atm pressure and $h_2=0m$

$P_0+\rho v_1^2 =constant ...(6)$

Hence equation (6) serves as the bernoullis equation of water at the opening of the pool.

c.) Consider the equation (3) and (4)

$P_0+\rho gh_1 =P_0+\rho v_1^2\\\\\frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2=\rho gh_1\\v_2^2=2gh_1\\v_2=(\sqrt{2gh_1})m/s...(7)$

Hence velocity is $v_2=(\sqrt{2gh_1})m/s$

d.) consider (7)

$v_2=(\sqrt{2(9.81)(1.03)})=4.4954m/s(approx)$

This is the norminal value of velocity

e.) consider the equation of flow rate interval of v and t

flow(t)= $\frac{dv}{dt}(m^3/s)$ hence this is the flow rate

f.) Consider the equation cross sectional area in terms of V,v2 and t

$AV_2=\frac{v}{t}\\\\A=\frac{v}{v_2t}(m^2)...8$

hence this serves as the cross sectional area.

g.) Consider the equation of area from equation (8)

$A=\frac{v}{v_2t}\\=\frac{14.3073}{4.4954\times 810}=0.003929=0.00393m^2=39.3cm^2$

Answer: 1.137*10^7 Btu/h.

Explanation:

Given data:

Efficiency of the plant = 4.5percent

Net power output of the plant = 150kw

Solution:

The required collection rate

QH = W/n

= 150/0.045 * 0.94782/ 1 /60 */60 Btu/h.

= 3333.333 *3412.152Btu/h.

= 11373840 Btu/h

= 1.137*10^7 Btu/h.
