A contractor has one mechanical excavator and one bulldozer, which are available for work on either of two adjacent sites. On one site, clay overburden is being excavated for a ballast pit owner, and on the other, ballast is being removed under subcontract to another client. Experience tell s the contractor that $50 profit can be made for 1000 m3 of clay overburden and $60 profit for every 1000 m3 of ballast removed. A comprehensive work study assesses the resources required to remove 1000 m3 of clay to be 8 hours' use of the excavator, 4 hours' use of the bulldozer and 50 man-hours of operatives' time. In the case of the excavation of 1000 m3 of ballast, the resources are required for 4 hours, 5 hours, and 13 man-hours, respectively. The contractor's employees work a 40- hour week. The mechanical equipment is also available for a 40-hour week. In addition to the mechanical equipment, 5 laborers are available for up to 40 hours each in any one week in order to assist with the work. When they are not employed on the excavation, use can be made of the operatives' elsewhere. Write a linear programming formulation for maximizing profit during one working week. The unknowns are: X1 = Units of 1000 m3 of clay excavated X2 = Units of 1000 m3 of ballast excavated

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.

A2-m rigid tank initially contains saturated water vapor at 100 kpa. the tank is connected to a supply line through a valve. steam is flowing in the supply line at 600 kpa and 300 c. the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to enter the tank until the pressure in the tank reaches the line pressure, at which point the valve is closed. a thermometer placed in the tank indicates that the temperature at the final state is 200°c. determine (a) the mass of steam that has entered the tank (b) the amount of heat transfer.
