Chapter 14.7, Problem 107P
The cooling water from the condenser of a power plant enters a wet cooling tower at 40°C at a rate of 90 kg/s. The water is cooled to 25°C in the cooling tower by air that enters the tower at 1 atm, 23°C, and 60 percent relative humidity and leaves saturated at 32°C. Neglecting the power input to the fan, determine (a) the volume flow rate of air into the cooling tower and (b) the mass flow rate of the required makeup water.

Two large tanks, each holding 100 L of liquid, are interconnected by pipes, with the liquid flowing from tank
A into tank B at a rate of 3 L/min and from B into A at a rate of 1 L/min (see Figure Q1). The liquid inside each
tank is kept well stirred. A brine solution with a concentration of 0.2 kg/L of salt flows into tank A at a rate of
6 L/min. The diluted solution flows out of the system from tank A at 4 L/min and from tank B at 2 L/min. If,
initially, tank A contains pure water and tank B contains 20 kg of salt.

Two springs and two masses are attached in a straight vertical line as shown in Figure Q3. The system is set
in motion by holding the mass m₂ at its equilibrium position and pushing the mass m₁ downwards of its
equilibrium position a distance 2 m and then releasing both masses. if m₁ = m₂ = 1 kg, k₁ = 3 N/m and
k₂ = 2 N/m.

As a spring is heated, its spring constant decreases. Suppose the spring is heated and then cooled so that the
spring constant at time t is k(t) = t sin N/m. If the mass-spring system has mass m = 2 kg and a
damping constant b = 1 N-sec/m with initial conditions x(0) = 6 m and x'(0) = -5 m/sec and it is
subjected to the harmonic external force f(t) = 100 cos 3t N. Find at least the first four nonzero terms in
a power series expansion about t = 0, i.e. Maclaurin series expansion, for the displacement:
