Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 6RQ
The Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) is based primarily on the amount of material ejected from a volcano, although other factors play a role as well, such as height of plume in the atmosphere. The following table shows the number of volcanic eruptions (N) over the past 10,000 years having a VEI of between 2 and 7.
There are also VEI values of 0, 1, and 8. There is a level 0 volcano erupting somewhere on the Earth essentially all the time. There are one or more level 1 volcanoes essentially every day. The last known level 8 volcano was about 26 000 years ago
- a. Show the resulting data trendline, with equation and R2 value, on the appropriate graph type (xy scatter, semilog, or log–log) to make the data appear linear
- b. How many level 1 volcanoes does the model predict should have occurred in the last 10,000 years?
- c. How many level 8 volcanoes does the model predict should have occurred in the last 10,000 years?

4. Steam flows steadily through a turbine at a rate of 47,000 lbm/h, entering at 1000 psia
and 800°F and leaving at 6 psia as saturated vapor. If the power generated by the
turbine is 3.7 MW, determine the rate of heat loss from the steam.
3. Water enters the constant 125-mm inside-diameter tubes of a boiler at 7.5 MPa and
60°C and leaves the tubes at 6 MPa and 500°C with a velocity of 75 m/s. Calculate the
velocity of the water at the tube inlet and the inlet volume flow rate.

Assume three cases of damping ratio: Case (A) ξ = 0%; Case (B)ξ = 2%; Case (C) ξ = 5%. The systems are initially at rest. Thus, the initial conditions are u(t = 0) = 0 anḋu(t = 0) = 0.
