Textbook Question
Chapter 15.5, Problem 18CC
- a. Create a variable named MTS containing the text My here’shat
- b. Create a variable named D containing 17 blanks followed by your name followed by 691 more blanks.
- c. Assume Avian=’A wet birt never flick at right’;
Modify Avian so that the word “wet” is replaced with the word “crepuscular” and the word “never” is replaced by “seldom”. Note that you should actually modify ONLY the two words in question, not simply type in the complete new sentence.
- d. Assume Ultimate=’The answer is 42’;
Convert the substring “42” in Ultimate into its corresponding numeric value and place it in UltAns. Your solution should work as long as the “number” at the end of the string is exactly two digits. HINT: Look in Table 15-8.

Air enters the 1-m2 inlet of an aircraft engine at 100 kPa and 20°C with a velocity of 184 m/s. Determine the volume flow rate, in m3/s, at the engine’s inlet and the mass flow rate, in kg/s, at the engine’s exit. The gas constant of air is R = 0.287 kPa·m3/kg·K.
The volume flow rate at the engine’s inlet m3/s.
The mass flow rate at the engine’s exit is kg/s.
The ventilating fan of the bathroom of a building has a volume flow rate of 33 L/s and runs continuously. If the density of air inside is 1.20 kg/m3, determine the mass of air vented out in one day.
The mass of air is kg.
A steady-flow compressor is used to compress helium from 15 psia and 70°F at the inlet to 200 psia and 600°F at the outlet. The outlet area and velocity are 0.01 ft2 and 100 ft/s, respectively, and the inlet velocity is 53 ft/s. Determine the mass flow rate and the inlet area. The gas constant of helium is R = 2.6809 psia·ft3/lbm·R.
The mass flow rate is lbm/s.
The inlet area is ft2.
