The rate dT/dt at which the temperature T at the center of a rice kernel falls during a food technology process is critical—too high a value leads to cracking of the kernel, and too low a value makes the process slow and costly. The rate depends on the rice specific heat, c, thermal conductivity, k, and size, L, as well as the cooling air specific heat, cp, density, ρ, viscosity, μ, and speed, V. How many basic dimensions are included in these variables? Determine the Π parameters for this problem.

- A cart weighing 0.5 kg is drawn up a smooth 45° incline by a motor, M, winding up a cable. The force in the cable can be expressed as 5t² N, where t is in seconds. When t = 0, the displacement s = 0 and the initial velocity is 3 m/s. Find the cart's velocity when t = 2 seconds. > Draw a very clear FBD of the cart that you can use to write the equations of motion > Write the equations governing the cart's motion along the incline.

Also assume that lung volume is decreasing at a rate of 100 mL/s. Hello sir, I want the same solution, but in a detailed way and mention his data, a question, and a solution in detailing mathematics without words. Solution We will start from Eq. (3.24) because we are asked for the time rate of change of density. We are asked to find the time rate of change of air density; this suggests that Example 3.5 condis tions are representing a nonsteady flow scenario. In addition, we were told what the rate of change in the lung volume is during this procedure, further supporting the use of Eq. (3.24). pdV+ (3.24 ams Assume that at the instant in time that we are measuring the system, density is uniform within the volume of interest.
