Chapter 10.6, Problem 12CC
In 1980, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) began the Superfund Program to help clean up highly polluted areas of the environment. There are over 1300 Superfund sites across the country. Not all Superfund sites are from deliberate pollution. Some sites are old factories, where chemicals were dumped on the ground; landfills where garbage was dumped along with other poisonous waste; remote places where people secretly dumped hazardous waste because they did not know what to do with it; or old coal, iron ore, or silver mines.
According to the EPA (http://www.epa.gov/superfund/index.htm), the following groundwater contaminants were found in South Carolina Superfund sites in Greenville, Pickens, Oconee, and Anderson counties.

The heated rod from Problem 3 is subject to a volumetric heating
h(x) = h0
x
L in units of [Wm−3], as shown in the figure below. Under the
heat supply the temperature of the rod changes along x with the
temperature function T (x). The temperature T (x) is governed by the
d
following equations:
−
dx (q(x)) + h(x) = 0 PDE
q(x) =−k dT
dx Fourier’s law of heat conduction (4)
where q(x) is the heat flux through the rod and k is the (constant)
thermal conductivity. Both ends of the bar are in contact with a heat
reservoir at zero temperature.
Determine:
1. Appropriate BCs for this physical problem.
2. The temperature function T (x).
3. The heat flux function q(x).
Side Note: Please see that both ends of bar are in contact with a heat reservoir at zero temperature so the boundary condition at the right cannot be du/dx=0 because its not thermally insulated. Thank you
The elastic bar from Problem 1 spins with angular velocity ω about an axis, as shown in the figure below. The radial acceleration at a generic point x along the bar is a(x) = ω2x. Under this radial acceleration, the bar stretches along x with displacement function u(x). The displacement d u(x) is governed by the following equations: dx (σ(x)) + ρa(x) = 0 PDE σ(x) = E du dx Hooke’s law (2) where σ(x) is the axial stress in the rod, ρ is the mass density, and E is the (constant) Young’s modulus. The bar is pinned on the rotation axis at x = 0 and it is also pinned at x = L. Determine: 1. Appropriate BCs for this physical problem. 2. The displacement function u(x). 3. The stress function σ(x). SIDE QUESTION: I saw a tutor solve it before but I didn't understand why the tutor did not divide E under the second term (c1x) before finding u(x). The tutor only divided E under first term. please explain and thank you
calculate the total power required to go 80 mph in a VW Type 2 Samba Bus weighing 2310 lbs. with a Cd of 0.35 and a frontal area of 30ft^2. Consider the coefficient of rolling resistance to be 0.018. What is the increase in power required to go the same speed if the weight is increased by 2205 pounds (the rated carrying capacity of the vehicle). If the rated power for the vehicle is 49 bhp, will the van be able to reach 80 mph at full carrying capacity?
