In the boiler of a power plant are tubes through which water flows as it is brought from 0.8 MPa, 150°C to 240°C at essentially constant pressure. The total mass flow rate of the water is 100 kg/s. Combustion gases passing over the tubes cool from 1067 to 277 °C at essentially constant pressure. The combustion gases can be modeled as air as an ideal gas. There is no significant heat transfer from the boiler to its surroundings. Assuming steady...

A hamburger chain sells large hamburgers. When we take a sample of 40 hamburgers and weigh​ them, we find that the mean is 0.45 pounds and the standard deviation is 0.3 pound. a. A technology input menu for calculating a confidence interval requires a sample​ size, a sample​ mean, and a sample standard deviation. State how you would fill in these numbers. b. Using the accompanying technology​ output, report the confidence interval in a carefully worded sentence.

A hundred particles of equal size and density are released simultaneously and allowed to settle in still air for 5 min. Because of Brownian motion along the vertical axis, some particles will progress farther than others. If the particles are 0.6-?m spheres of standard density, what are the mean and standard deviation of their displacements from origin after 5 min? [Answer 4.1 mm, 0.17 mm]
