! Required information The growth of populations of organisms has many engineering and scientific applications. One of the simplest models assumes that the rate of change of the population p is proportional to the existing population at any time t dt = kgP where kg = the growth rate. Given, the step size = 5 years. The world population, in millions, from 1950 to 2000 is given below: t (yr) 1950 1955 1960 1965 1970 1975 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 P 2555 2780 3040 3346 3708 4087 4454 4850 5276 5686 6079 Assuming the given equation holds, use the data from 1950 through 1970 to estimate kg. (Round the final answer to four decimal places.) The estimate of the population growth rate is kg- = /yr.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING UPVOTE WILL BE GIVEN. PLEASE WRITE THE COMPLETE SOLUTIONS LEGIBLY. SHOW THE STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS WITH SHORT COMMENT/EXPLANATION. ANSWER IN 4 DECIMAL PLACES. Two gaseous streams containing the same fluid enters a mixing chamber and leaves as a single stream. For the first gas the entrance conditions are A1=500 cm², v1=230 m/s, p1=1.60 kg/m³. For the second gas the entrance conditions are A2= 300 cm³, m2=8.84 kg/s, v2=0.502 m³/kg. The exit stream conditions is v3=130 m/s and v3=0.437 m3/kg. Determine the following: (a) the total mass flow leaving the chamber (kg/sec) (b) the velocity of the gas at 2. (m/sec)
Engineering Economy A company has determined the price and the monthly demand of its products are related by the equation D = √775 - p, where p is the price per unit in dollar and D, is the monthly demand. The associated fixed costs are $2,125 per month and the variable costs are $100/ unit. Use this information to answer the following: a)What is the optimal number of units that should be produced and sold each month? b) What is the maximum profit? c)Determine the value of D that represents the break-even point?

The speed of sound traveling through the sea is a function of temperature, salinity, and pressure. It is modeled by the function C = 1449.2 + 4.67T -0.055T² +0.00029T³ + (1.34-0.01T) (S-35) + 0.016D where C is the speed of sound (in meters per second), T is the temperature (in degrees Celsius), S is the salinity (the concentration of salts in parts per thousand, which means grams of dissolved solids per 1000 grams of water), and D is the depth below the sea surface, in meters. Calculate the following (Check attached image d3) when T = 10 °C, S = 35 parts per thousand, and D = 100 m. Explain the physical meaning of these derivatives.
the specific heat (cp or cv) can also be understood as a "capacity or ability of a given material to store "heat". In this way, we can say that: 1- the greater the specific heat, the greater the amount of "heat" needed to cause an increase or decrease in temperature per unit mass of the material.2- the higher the specific heat, the lower the amount of "heat" needed to cause an increase or decrease in temperature per unit mass of the material3- the lower the specific heat, the greater the amount of "heat" needed to cause an increase or decrease in temperature per unit mass of the material4- the lower the specific heat, the amount of "heat" needed to cause an increase or decrease in temperature per unit mass of the material does not change5-the higher the specific heat, the amount of "heat" needed to cause an increase or decrease in temperature per unit mass of the material does not change choose only one of the above alternatives as correct
