You have available three blocks of different material, at various temperatures. They are, respectively, a 2 kg block of iron at 600 K, a 3 kg block of copper at 800 K and a 10 kg block of granite at 300 K. The heat capacities for the three materials are 0.460 (iron), 0.385 (copper), and 0.790 (granite), in kj/(kg*K), all independent of temperature. For solids, the heat capacities at constant pressure and constant volume can be assumed to be equal, Cp=Cv. what is the minimum temperature that could be obtained in any one of the block? what is the maximum temperature that could be obtained? no heat or work interactions with the enviroment are allowed.

Answer:

max temp = 711.32 k

mini temp = 331.29 k

Explanation:

Given data:

2kg block of Iron : temperature = 600k , C = 0.460 kJ/kgk

3 kg block of copper : temp = 800k ,  C = 0.385 KJ /kgk

10 kg block of granite : temp = 300k , C = 0.790 KJ/kgk

Cp = Cv at constant pressure and constant volume

Determine the minimum temperature that is obtained in any one of the block

considering the heat transfer equation

Q = mC ( T2 - T1 )

attached below is a detailed solution of the problem

A contractor excavates 10,000 m3 soil at moist unit weight of 17.5 kN/m3 and moisture content of 10% from a borrow pit and transports it to a project site. The project has an area of 20,000 m2 to be filled with this compacted soil. If the required dry unit weight and moisture content of the compacted soil are 18.3 kN/m3 and 12.5% (assume there is no soil loss during transportation and compaction), what is the thickness of the compacted soil and how much water needs to be added?

Another name for a load-center distribution system is a A. primary radial system. B. complex radial system. C. split-radial system. D. dual-radial system.

Build a 32-bit accumulator circuit. The circuit features a control signal inc and enable input en. If en is 1 and inc is 1, the circuit increments the stored value by an amount specified by an input A[31:0] on the next clock cycle. If en is 1 and inc is 0 the circuit decrements the stored value by the amount specified in the input A on the next clock cycle. If en is 0, the circuit simply stores its current value without modification. The circuit has the following interface:______.
Input clock governs the state transitions in the circuit upon each rising edge.
Input clear is used as a synchronous reset for the stored value.
Input inc controls whether the value stored is to be incremented or decremented.
Input en is a control signal that activates the values increment/decrement
Input A determines how much to increment or decrement by
Output value is a 32-bit signal that can be used to read the stored value at any time.
* Note: Use any combination of combinational or sequential logic. It may be helpful to look into D Flip Flops and Registers.

A frequenter of a pub had observed that the new barman poured in average 0.47 liters of beer into the glass with a standard deviation equal to 0.09 liters instead of a half a liter with the same standard deviation. The frequenter had used a random sample of 47 glasses of beer in his experiment. Consider the one-sided hypothesis test for volume of beer in a glass: H0: u=0.5 against H1: u<0.5. Determine the P-value of this test.
Round your answer to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654).

The steam requirements of a manufacturing facility are being met by a boiler whose rated heat input is 5.5 x 3^106 Btu/h. The combustion efficiency of the boiler is measured to be 0.7 by a hand-held flue gas analyzer. After tuning up the boiler, the combustion efficiency rises to 0.8. The boiler operates 4200 hours a year intermittently. Taking the unit cost of energy to be $4.35/10^6 Btu, determine the annual energy and cost savings as a result of tuning up the boiler.
