Water exiting the condenser of a power plant at 45 Centers a cooling tower with a mas flow rate of 15,000 kg/s. A stream of cool

ed water is returned to the condenser at the same flowrate. Makeup water is added in a separate stream at 20 C. Atmosphericair enters the cooling tower at 30 C, with a wet bulb temperature of 20 C. The volumetric flow rate of moist air into the cooling tower is 8000 m3/s. Moist air exits the tower at 40C and 90% RH. Assume atmospheric pressure is at 101.3 kPa. Determine: a.T

Answer: hello your question is incomplete below is the missing part

question :Determine the temperature of the cooled water exiting the cooling tower

answer : T = 43.477° C

Explanation:

Temp of water at exit = 45°C

mass flow rate of cooling tower = 15,000 kg/s

Temp of makeup water = 20°C

Assuming an atmospheric pressure of = 101.3 kPa

<u>Determine temperature of the cooled water exiting the cooling tower</u>

Water entering cooling tower at 45°C

Given that Latent heat of water at 45°C = 43.13 KJ/mol

Cp(wet air) = 1.005+ 1.884(y1)

where: y1 - Inlet mole ratio = (0.01257) / (1 - 0.01257) = 0.01273

Hence : Cp(wet air) = 29.145 + (0.01273) (33.94) = 29.577 KJ/kmol°C

<u>First step : calculate the value of Q </u>

Q = m*Cp*(ΔT) + W(latent heat)

Q = 321.6968 (29.577) (40-30) + 43.13 (18.26089)

Q = 95935.8547 KJ/s

Given that mass rate of water = 15000 kg/s

<u>Hence the temperature of the cooled water can be calculated using the equation below</u>

Q = m*Cp*∆T

Cp(water) = 4.2 KJ/Kg°C

95935.8547 = (15000)*(4.2)*(45 - T)

( 45 - T ) = 95935.8547/ 63000. ∴ T = 43.477° C

pshichka [43]

Answer:

80.16 m/s^2

at t=2 s

x=42.3 m

y=16 m

z=14 m

Explanation:

solution

The x,y,z components of the velocity are donated by the i,j,k vectors.

$v_{x}=16t^{2} \\v_{y}=4t^{3}\\v_{z}=5t+2$

acceleration is a derivative of velocity with respect to time.

$a_{x}=\frac{d}{dt} v_{x}=\frac{d}{dt}[16t^{2}]=32t\\a_{y}=\frac{d}{dt} v_{y}=\frac{d}{dt}[4t^{3}]=12t^{2} \\a_{z}=\frac{d}{dt} v_{z}=\frac{d}{dt}[5t+2]=5$

evaluate acceleration at 2 seconds

$a_{x} =32*2=64m/s^{2}\\ a_{y} =12*2^{2} =48m/s^{2}\\a_{z} =5m/s^{2}$

the magnitude of the acceleration is the square root of the sum of the square of each component of the acceleration.

$=\sqrt{a_{x}^2 +a_{y}^2+a_{z} ^2 } \\=\sqrt{64^2 +48^2+5 ^2 }\\=80.16m/s^2$

position is the integral of velocity with respect to time position at a time can be found by taking by taking the definite intergral of each component.

$x=\int\limits {v_{x} } \, dx=\int\limits^2_0 {{16t^2} \, dt=42.7m\\\\y=\int\limits {v_{y} } \, dx=\int\limits^2_0 {{4t^3} \, dt=16m\\\\\\\\\\z=\int\limits {v_{z} } \, dx=\int\limits^2_0 {{5t+2} \, dt=14m\\\\$

PythonA group of statisticians at a local college has asked you to create a set of functionsthat compute the median and mode of

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

def median(l):
if(len(l) == 0):
return 0
else:
l.sort()
if(len(l)%2 == 0):
index = int(len(l)/2)
mid = (l[index-1] + l[index]) / 2
else:
mid = l[len(l)//2]
return mid
def mode(l):
if(len(l)==0):
return 0
mode = max(set(l), key=l.count)
return mode
def mean(l):
if(len(l)==0):
return 0
sum = 0
for x in l:
sum += x
mean = sum / len(l)
return mean
lst = [5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 12, 13, 15, 25, 30, 45, 61]
print(mean(lst))
print(median(lst))
print(mode(lst))

Explanation:

Firstly, we create a median function (Line 1). This function will check if the the length of list is zero and also if it is an even number. If the length is zero (empty list), it return zero (Line 2-3). If it is an even number, it will calculate the median by summing up two middle index values and divide them by two (Line 6-8). Or if the length is an odd, it will simply take the middle index value and return it as output (Line 9-10).

In mode function, after checking the length of list, we use the max function to estimate the maximum count of the item in list (Line 17) and use it as mode.

In mean function, after checking the length of list, we create a sum variable and then use a loop to add the item of list to sum (Line 23-25). After the loop, divide sum by the length of list to get the mean (Line 26).

In the main program, we test the three functions using a sample list and we shall get

False! Just saying. You could be under the influence, or just have no clue as to what you're doing.
