2) A steam power plant is operating on the ideal Reheat Rankine cycle. Steam enters the high-pressure
turbine at 600 psia and 600 °F and exits the high-pressure turbine at 180 psia. The steam is then
heated at constant pressure to a temperature of 500 °F before it enters the low-pressure turbine. The
condenser operates at a pressure of 15 psia. If the water enters the pump at 120 ft³/min,
a) Calculate the thermal efficiency of the cycle
b) Calculate the net power generated by the plant (MW)

a crane lifts a 1000 lb science desk to a height of 20 ft using a chain that weighs 2 lb/ft. If the crane arm is at a height of 50 ft find the work required. Also, would the chain be the only part integrated since it is changing and the desk remains constant?
A patient is ordered to receive calcium supplementation by intravenous infusion of a calcium chloride solution [Ca Cl2 , MW=110.98 g/mol]. The patient is ordered to receive 1 mEq of Ca 2+ ions per hour. A 500 mL intravenous bag is prepared that contains 12 mL of a 30% solution of calcium chloride. What should be the infusion rate (in units of mL/min) necessary to produce the ordered dose of 1 mEq/hr of calcium? (Note: Round the answer to two decimal places. Consider the total solution volume to be 500 mL. Also assume the calcium chloride salt completely disassociates in solution. Please do not assume the specifics of this question are exactly clinically relevant due to the variability in this question.)
In a Couette flow, two large flat plates lie one on top of another, separated by a thin layer of fluid. If a shear stress is applied to the top plate, the viscosity of the fluid produces motion in the bottom plate as well. The velocity V in the top plate relative to the bottom plate is given by V = τh/μ, where τ is the shear stress applied to the top plate, h is the thickness ofthe fluid layer, and μ is the viscosity of the fluid. Assume that μ = 1.49 Pa · s and h = 10 mm, both with negligible uncertainty.a) Suppose that τ = 30.0 ± 0.1 Pa. Estimate V, and find the uncertainty in the estimate.b) If it is desired to estimate V with an uncertainty of 0.2 mm/s, what must be the uncertainty in τ?
A 5000-gal aquarium is maintained with a pumping system that passes 100 gal of water per minute through the tank. To treat a certain fish malady, a soluble an- tibiotic is introduced into the inflow system. Assume that the inflow concentration of medicine is 10te−t/50 mg/gal, where t is measured in minutes. The well-stirred mixture flows out of the aquarium at the same rate. (a) Solve for the amount of medicine in the tank as a function of time. (b) What is the maximum concentration of medicine achieved by this dosing and when does it occur? (c) For the antibiotic to be effective, its concentration must exceed 100 mg/gal for a minimum of 60 min. Was the dosing effective?
A student is concerned with the amount of air pollution students are exposed to in the school's parking lot after school. The student conducts an investigation to compare the quantity of particulate matter released from the diesel-powered buses, natural gas-powered buses, and the large and small cars as they idle waiting to pick up students. To make measurements, a small piece of white fabric is used to collect particulate matter from the tailpipe of each vehicle as it idles for five minutes. Each piece of fabric is then analyzed to measure the amount of particulate matter it collected. (i) Identify the independent variable in the investigation. (j) Identify one variable that was not mentioned in the description that could affect the results of the investigation. (k) Describe a realistic alternate sampling method to collect particulate matter from the vehicles in the investigation. (1) The student wants to ensure that the results are reliable. Explain how the student could modify the…
