Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 11RQ
You are part of an engineering firm on contract with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy task force to develop a program to help consumers measure the efficiency of their home appliances. Your job is to write a program that measures the efficiency of stove-top burners. Before using your program, the consumer will place a pan of room-temperature water on the stove (with + gallon of water), record the initial room temperature in units of degrees Fahrenheit, turn on the burner, and wait for it to boil. When the water begins to boil, the consumer will record the time in units of minutes it takes for the water to boil. Finally, the consumer will look up the power for the burner provided by the manufacturer.
The output of your program should look like the following output, where the highlighted values are example responses typed by the user into your program. Note that your code should line up the energy and power calculations as shown. In addition, your code must display the efficiency as a percentage with one decimal place and must include a percent symbol.
Sample Input/Output
Household Appliance Efficiency Calculator: Stove
Type the initial room temperature of the water [deg E]: 68 Type the time it takes the water to boil [min]: 21 Type the brand name and model of your stove: Krispy 32-Z Type the power of the stove-top burner [W]: 1200
Energy required: 1267909 J
Power used by burner: 1006 W
Burner efficiency for a Krispy 32-Z stove: 83.9

You are working as an engineer in a bearing systems design company. The flow of
lubricant inside a hydrodynamic bearing (µ = 0.001 kg m¯¹ s¯¹) can be approximated
as a parallel, steady, two-dimensional, incompressible flow between two parallel plates.
The top plate, representing the moving part of the bearing, travels at a constant speed,
U, while the bottom plate remains stationary (Figure Q1). The plates are separated by
a distance of 2h = 1 cm and are W = 20 cm wide. Their length is L = 10 cm. By
applying the above approximations to the Navier-Stokes equations and assuming that
end effects can be neglected, the horizontal velocity profile can be shown to be

Question 2
You are an engineer working in the propulsion team for a supersonic civil transport
aircraft driven by a turbojet engine, where you have oversight of the design for the
engine intake and the exhaust nozzle, indicated in Figure Q2a. The turbojet engine can
operate when provided with air flow in the Mach number range, 0.60 to 0.80. You are
asked to analyse a condition where the aircraft is flying at 472 m/s at an altitude of
14,000 m. For all parts of the question, you can assume that the flow path of air through
the engine has a circular cross section.

where k is a constant, b is the span length and V. is the free-stream velocity. The wing has an
aspect ratio of 4. For all wing sections, the lift curve slope (ag) is 2 and the zero-lift angle of
attack (a=0) is 0.
a. Derive expressions for the downwash (w) and induced angle of attack a distributions
along the span.
b. Derive an expression for the induced drag coefficient.
c. Calculate the span efficiency factor.
d. Calculate the value of k if the wing has a washout and the difference between the
geometric angles of attack of the root (y = 0) and the tip (y = tb/2) is:
a(y = 0) a(y = ±b/2) = /18
Hint: Use the coordinate transformation y = cos (0)
