When a hydrocarbon fuel is burned, almost all of the carbon in the fuel burns completely to form CO2 (carbon dioxide). On average, 0.59 kg of CO2 is produced for each kWh of electricity generated from a power plant that burns natural gas. A typical new household refrigerator uses about 700 kWh of electricity per year. There are 50,000 households in the city.
If the area of the city is 190 miles2, and if all that CO2 accumulates in the atmosphere, calculate the increase in CO2 concentration by weight in the atmosphere knowing that each cm2 of area carries a column of air that weighs 1 kg. If 1 mature tree absorbs 48 lbm of CO2 per year, what is the ratio of trees to households this city should have to counter the effect of refrigeration?
An engineer designing a light aircraft is trying to make an estimate of the radius of the propeller needed. The design speed of the aircraft is 69m/s into still
air and at this speed experience allows the engineer to assume a propeller efficiency of 0.8. Other analysis shows that a thrust of 9296N must be
supplied by the propeller to maintain the design speed. Assuming a constant air density of 1.21 kg/m³, determine the radius of the ideal propeller in m to
2 decimal places.
Note: Use the propulsive efficiency equation to find the final downstream speed of the air and check that this makes physical sense before calculating the
radius.
The planet Saturn has a mass of 5.67(10^26) kg and a visible diameter (top of cloud layer) of 12.00(10^7) m. The weight W of a planetary probe on earth is 4.50 kN. Determine the weight of the probe when it is 6(10^8) m above the top of the clouds.

Calculate density in units of kg /m3 .Compare the calculated value with data from Table A.3 and make a recommendation about the effects of elevation on density; that is, are the effects of elevation significant? show solution.arrow_forward2. The speed v of an object being propelled through water is given by (2P v(P,C) = kC where P is the power being used to propel the object, C is the drag coefficient, and k is a positive constant. Swimmers can therefore increase their swimming speeds by increasing their power or reducing their drag coefficients. To compare the effect of increasing power versus reducing drag, we need to somehow compare the two in common units. A frequently used approach is to determine the percentage change in speed that results from a given percentage change in power and in drag. If we work with percentages as fractions, then when power is changed by a fraction r (with r corresponding to 100x percent), P changes from P to P+xP. Likewise, if the drag coefficient is changed by a fraction y, then C changes from C to C + yC. Then, the corresponding fractional change in speed is v(P+xP,C+yC) – v(P,C) v(P,C') 1 which then reduces to the function 1+x f(r, y) = - 1.arrow_forward
