Chapter 11, Problem 7RQ
- 7. Eutrophication is the result of excessive nutrients in a lake or other body of water, usually caused by runoff of nutrients (animal waste, fertilizers, and sewage) from the land, which causes a dense growth of plant life. The decomposition of the plants depletes the supply of oxygen, leading to the death of animal life. Sometimes, these excess nutrients cause algae blooms, or rapid growth of algae, which normally occur in small concentrations in the water body.
The following table contains data to illustrate the relationship between pressure (depth of fluid), the temperature of the water, and the solubility of oxygen in the water. Create a proper plot of the data.
| Solubility of o2 [mg/L] | Pressure (P) [mm Hg] | ||
| Temperature (T) [oC] | 760 | 1520 | 3040 |
| 10 | 11.3 | 22.6 | 45.1 |
| 20 | 9.1 | 18.2 | 36.4 |
| 30 | 7.6 | 15.2 | 30.3 |

215. A laser doppler velocimeter was used to determine velocity of the water flow in an open channel whose cross section is a triangle with a base of 0.531m and a depth of 0.702m. If the velocity of the water flow is 6.11 m/s, determine the mass flow rate in kg/s
A 5-feet diameter Chimney is designed to handle a flue gas produced in a steam power plant at a rate of 17 lb/s. The barometric pressure is 29.92-inch Hg. Outside air enters the combustion chamber at 90 F. The average temperature of the flue gas inside the Chimney is 572 F and its molecular weight is 30. Cv = 0.35, Rair = 53.342 ft-lb/lb-R. Calculate:
a. The total draft, feet of air.
b. The height of the Chimney, feet
4) According to the Betz law what is the theoretical maximum percent power of the incoming wind we can extract from the wind.
