Bubble behavior in subcooled flow boiling. In industry cooling applications (e.g., cooling of nuclear reactors), a process called subcooled flow boiling is often employed. Subcooled flow boiling is susceptible to small bubbles that occur near the heated surface. The characteristics of these bubbles were investigated in Heat Transfer Engineering (Vol. 34., 2013). A series of experiments was conducted to measure two important bubble behaviors—bubble diameter (millimeters) and bubble density (liters per meters squared). The mass flux (kilograms per meters squared per second) and heat flux (megawatts per meters squared) were varied for each experiment. The data obtained at a set pressure are listed in the following table.
a. Consider the multiple regression model, E (y1) = β0 + β1 x1 + β2x2, where y1 = bubble diameter, x1 = mass flux, and x2 = heat flux. Use statistical software to fit the model to the data and test the overall adequacy of the model.
b. Consider the multiple regression model, E(y2) = β0 + β1 x1 + β2x2, where y2 = bubble density, x1 = mass flux, and x2 = heat flux. Use statistical software to fit the model to the data and test the overall adequacy of the model.
c. Which of the two dependent variables, diameter (y1) or density (y2). is better predicted by mass flux (x1) and heat flux (x2)?

The blood samples of these officers had an average lead concentration of 124.32 µg/l and a SD of 37.74 µg/l; a previous study of individuals from a nearby suburb, with no history of exposure, found an average blood level concentration of 35 µg/l. Test the hypothesis that the downtown police officers have a higher lead exposure than the group in the previous study. Interpret your results in context. Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for the average blood concentration level of police officers contain 35 µg/l? Based on your preceding result, without performing a calculation, would a 99% confidence interval for this difference contain 0?

- The article in the ASCE Journal of Energy Engineering (1999, Vol. 125, pp.59-75) describes a study of the thermal inertia properties of autoclaved aerated concrete used as a building material. Five samples of the material were tested in a structure, and the average interior temperatures (°C) reported were as follows: 23.01, 22.22, 22.04, 22.62, and 22.59. Test that the average interior temperature is equal to 22.5°C using alpha (a) = 0.05. This problem is a test on what population parameter? What is the null and alternative hypothesis?

A geochemical and oceanographic survey of the inshore waters of Mombasa, Kenya, was undertaken during the period from September 1995 to January 1996. In the survey, suspended particulate matter and sediment were collected from 48 stations within Mombasa’s estuarine creeks. The concentrations of major oxides and 13 trace elements were determined for a varying number of cores at each of the stations. In particular, the lead concentrations in sus-pended particulate matter (mg kg21 dry weight) were determined at 37 stations. The researchers were interested in determining whether the average lead concentration was greater than 30 mg kg21 dry weight. The data are given in the following table along with summary…arrow_forwardThe vulnerability of inshore environments to contamination due to urban and industrial expansion in Mombasa is discussed in the paper “Metals, Petroleum Hydrocarbons and Organo- chlorines in Inshore Sediments and Waters on Mombasa, Kenya” [Marine Pollution Bulletin (1997) 34:570–577].
