1.6. The amount of a uniformly distributed contaminant contained in a closed rea ctor is measured by its concentration C (Becquerel/liter).

The contaminant decr eases with a decay rate proportional to its concentration, that is kC where k is constant with units of 1/day. Therefore according to equation 1-13 a mass balan ce for the reactor can be written as dc/dt=-kC. Use numerical methods to solve the equation t=0 to 1d with k=0.1/d. employ a step size of dt=0.1. the concentra tion at t=0 is Bl/L. 1.7 A storage tank contains a liquid at depth y, where y=0 when the tank is half full liquid is withdrawn at a constant flow rate 3Qsin2t. dy/dt=3Q/A sin ^2 t-Q/A Use numerical methods to solve for the height y from t=0 to 5d with a stepsize o f 0.5d. the parameter values are A=1200m2 and Q=400m3/d. y/t=(Y(t_((i+1) ) )-Y(t_i))/((t_((i+1) ) )-t_i ) =3 Q/A sin ^2 t-Q/A Y(t(i+1))=Y(ti)+((3Q sin ^2 t-Q)/A)(t(i+1) - ti) t y 0 0.5 1.0 1.8 For the falling parachutist problem, assume that the first jumper has a mas s of 68.1 kg and a drag coefficient 0f 12.5 kg/s. if second jumper has a mass of 75 kg and a drag coefficient of 14 kg/s. how long will it take the second jumpe r to attain the same velocity reached by the first jumper in 10sec? Jumper 1: v(t)=gm/c(1-e^(-(c/m)t)) v(t)=9.8(68.1)/12.5(1-e^(-(12.5/68.1)10)) v(t)=44.87m/s Jumper 2: v(t)=(9.8(75))/14(1-e^(-(14/75)t) Equating the velocities of jumper 1 and 2 we get: 44.87=(9.8(75))/14(1-e^(-(14/75)t) ln(7.63)=0.19t t=10.69 sec 1.9 The volume of flow rate through the pipe is given by Q=vA, where v= average velocity and A= cross sectional area. Use volume continuity to solve for the req uired area in pipe3. Qin=Qout + v3A3 A3=(Qin-Qout)/v3 A3=(30 m^3/s-20m^3/s)/(5m/s) A3=10/5 m2 A3=2m2 1.20 An average man in 1 day ingests 1000g of food and 1200g of liquid; the body will produce metabolically same additional water. When breathing air 50g and 40 0g of water are exchange while inhaling. The body will also lose 200g, 1400g, 20 0g and 350g of water through the sweat, urine,feces and skin respectively. In or der to maintain steady state condition where mass in - mass out=0. What amount of water can be produced metabolically? mass in - mass out = 0 Drinks + foods + air(in) + metabolism = urine + skin + feces + sweat + air(out) Metabolism = 200g + 1400g + 350g + 400g + 200g -50g -1000g-1200g Metabolism= 300g
