The maximum flow rate of a standard shower head is about 3.4 gpm (12.9 l/min) and can be reduced to 2.75 gpm (10.5 l/min) by switching to a low-flow shower head that is equipped with flow controllers. consider a family of four with each person taking a 6-minute shower every morning. city water at 15°c is heated to 55°c in an oil water heater whose efficiency is 65 percent and then tempered to 42°c by cold water at the t-elbow of the shower before being routed to the shower head. the price of heating oil is $2.80/gal and its heating value is 146,300 kj/gal. assuming a constant specific heat of 4.18 kj/kg·°c for water, determine the amount of oil and money saved per year by replacing the standard shower heads by the low-flow ones. (round the final answers to one decimal place.)

Is it possible to use the energy from two atoms colliding to create a clean burning lasting fuel source with a large amount of force? is it also possible to harness that energy from the two atoms colliding to create a clean energy source that will last for years from just two atoms colliding. is there a possibility to control and store that energy for years but slowly let the energy out enough to power cities cheaper and faster.

Atwo-stage air compressor operates at steady state, compression 10m^3/min of air from 100 kpa and 300k to 1200 kpa. an intercooler between the two stages cools the air to 300k at a constant pressure of 350 kpa. the compression processes are isentropic. a) calculate the power required to run the compressor, in kw b) compare the result to the power required for isentropic compression from the same inlet state to the same final pressure.
