You wish to filter out 60 Hz noise (which arises from electrical interference at the frequency of AC current in our electrical grid) using a simple RC circuit, which is one useful form has a transfer function:
G(s) = 1/RCS + 1
a. What value of the product RC should you choose so that amplitude at 60 Hz is attenuated by 90%?
b. For that value of RC, what is the largest frequency that is attenuated by less than 5%?
c. Turn in a Bode plot for your proposed system generated in Matlab.

Along 8-cm diameter steam pipe whose external surface temperature is 900c connects two buildings. the pipe is exposed to ambient air at 70c with a wind speed of 50 km/hr blowing across the pipe. determine the heat loss from the pipe per unit length. (b) air at 500c enters a section of a rectangular duct (15 cm x 20 cm) at an average velocity of 7 m/s. if the walls of the duct are maintained at 100c. a) the length of the tube for an exit temperature of the air to be 40 0c. b)the rate of heat transfer from the air. c) the fan power needed to overcome the pressure drop in this section of the duct.
