Use the data above to answer the following questions:
1. Transpiration causes plants to lose water out of their leaves. Why is losing water like this important for the plants? (1 pt)
2. Which of the environmental factors applied to the plants (heat, light, or wind) increased the transpiration rate the most? (1 pt)
Why do you think this factor had the greatest impact? (1 pt)
3. Why do you think different plant species transpire at different rates under the same environmental conditions? (1 pt)
4. Suppose you coated the leaves of a plant with petroleum jelly. How would the plant's rate of transpiration be affected? (1 pt)

A student evaluates a weight loss program by calculating the number of times he would need to climb a 11.0 m high flight of steps in order to lose one pound (0.45 kg) of fat. Metabolizing 1.00 kg of fat can release 3.77 ✕ 107 J of chemical energy and the body can convert about 19.4% of this into mechanical energy (the rest goes into internal energy.)
(a)How much mechanical energy (in J) can the body produce from 0.450 kg of fat?
(b)How many trips up the flight of steps are required for the 74.0 kg student to lose 0.450 kg of fat? Ignore the relatively small amount of energy required to return down the stairs.

A gas storage cylinder in an ordinary chemical laboratory measures 3.9 cm wide and 16. cm high.
This is the label on it.

Contents: N, gas
Pressure: 7.93 atm
If the cylinder is opened and the gas allowed to escape into a large empty plastic bag, what will be the final volume of nitrogen gas, including what's collected in
the plastic bag and what's left over in the cylinder? Write your answer in liters. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

APPLICATIONS OF FIRST ORDER DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
Newton’s Law of Cooling and Joint Proportions
At 4:00pm, a thermometer reading of 28 deg C is taken outside where the ambient temperature is –11 deg C. At 4:05 pm, the thermometer reads 8 deg above zero. After a while, the thermometer is returned to the room maintained at 28 deg C. At 4:12pm, the thermometer reads 15 deg C. When was the thermometer returned to the room?

A classroom that normally contains 40 people is to be air-conditioned with window air-conditioning units of
5 KW cooling capacity. A person at rest may be assumed to dissipate heat at a rate of about 360 KJ/hr.
There are 10 light bulbs in the room, each with a rating of 100 watts. The rate of heat transfer to the
classroom through the walls and the windows is estimated to be 15,000 KJ/hr. If the room air is to be
maintained at a constant temperature of 21°C, determine the number of window air-conditioning units
required.

A plant discharges 4,000 gal/min of treated wastewater that
contains 0.25 mg/L of PCB, (polychloronated biphenyls) into a
river that contains no measurable PCBS upstream of the
discharge. If the river flow rate is 1,500 cubic feet per second,
after the discharged water has thoroughly mixed with the river
water, what is the concentration of PCBS in the river in mg/L?

Answer question 2 based on the results of question 1.
You have a natural gas furnace in your home that used 78,500 cubic feet of natural gas for heating last winter. Your neighbor has a furnace that burns heating oil, and used 516 gallons of heating oil last winter. You can convert the natural gas and heating oil consumption data into Btu to determine which home used more energy for heating.
Natural gas BTU: 1,028 Btu per cubic foot
Oil BTU: 138,590 Btu per gallon
Natural Gas BTU= 80698000 Btu
Oil BTU = 71512440 Btu
The home that used a natural gas furnace used more energy for heating.
2. You need a new furnace for your home, and you are comparing systems that use natural gas and heating oil. One factor to consider is the cost of fuel. You can compare the price of the fuels on an equal basis by dividing the price per unit of the fuels by the Btu content per unit of the fuels to get a price per million Btu.
Assume Natural gas price = $10.50 per thousand cubic…

The left side of this equation tells how much energy Q the cylinder gives to the water while it cools. The right
side of this equation tells how much energy Q the water and aluminum cup absorb from the cylinder to warm
up. Because it is the same energy, they are equal.
What is known in this equation?

Can you find: mwater =? g
Twater = Talum = 20°C (water and cup of room temperature)

What are we looking for is Ccul - How we find it? Plug all the numbers into the equation (1), Ccul will be one
unknown which you can calculate from the equation. Important, convert all the masses from grams to kilograms!
After
you find Ccyl, compare it to known value for the copper 0.093(our cylinder is made out of copper).

Pressurized eyes Our eyes need a certain amount of internal pressure in order to work properly, with the normal range being between 10 and 20 mm of mercury. The pressure is determined by a balance between the fluid entering and leaving the eye. If the pressure is above the normal level, damage may occur to the optic nerve where it leaves the eye, leading to a loss of the visual field termed glaucoma. Measurement of the pressure within the eye can be done by several different noninvasive types of instruments, all of which measure the slight deformation of the eyeball when a force is put on it. Some methods use a physical probe that makes contact with the front of the eye, applies a known force, and measures the deformation. One non-contact method uses a calibrated “puff” of air that is blown against the eye. The stagnation pressure resulting from the air blowing against the eyeball causes a slight deformation, the magnitude of which is correlated with the pressure within the eyeball.…

To maximize production and minimize pumping costs, crude oil is heated to reduce its viscosity during transportation from a
production field.
(1) Consider a pipe-in-pipe configuration consisting of concentric steel tubes with an intervening insulating material. The inner tube is
used to transport warm crude oil through cold ocean water. The inner steel pipe (k, = 45 W/m-K) has an inside diameter of D;, 1
150 mm and wall thickness f; = 20 mm while the outer steel pipe has an inside diameter of D; 2 = 250 mm and wall thickness
t, = tị. Determine the maximum allowable crude oil temperature to ensure the polyurethane foam insulation (k,
between the two pipes does not exceed its maximum service temperature of Tp. max = 70°C. The ocean water is at T.0 = -5°C and
provides an external convection heat transfer coefficient of h.
