Chapter 5, Problem 21P
The following data gives the height (in inches) of a sunflower plant as a
| Time (days) | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 | 70 |
| Height (in.) | 9 | 22 | 44 | 63 | 80 | 94 | 97 |
The height can be modeled by the logistic function:
where H is the height (in.) and t is the time (days). Make a plot of the height versus time. The figure should show the data from the table above as points and the height modeled by the equation as a solid line. Add a legend, and label the axes.

At time = 0, a constant heating power of 100 kW is applied to a boiler that intends to raise the temperature of the fluid inside to 100 ºC. The initial temperature of the fluid is 25 ºC. Temperature is taken every 2 minutes, starting at t = 0. The log after 1 hour is shown below. The x-axis is time (in minutes) while the y-axis is the temperature T. The system may be assumed to be of first order. Let θ(t) be the function describing the temperature increase, i.e. θ(t) = T(t) - 25, where T is the actual temperature. The input power is p(t) = 100 u(t) kW.
1. What is a feasible time delay, in minutes, for the system?
2. What is the DC gain of the system O(s)/P(s) in Cº/kW?
3. What is the transfer function O(s)/P(s)

The turbine has a cut-in velocity of 5 m/s and a cut-out velocity of 25 m/s. The capacity factor is 0.45. The installed cost of the turbine is $3,500,000. Operating expenses are $225,000 per year. The system has a power coefficient (electric power generated divided by wind power) of 0.45. What price would you have to get for the electricity you produce to obtain a 10% return on the plant investment assuming a project lifetime of 20 years?

- Two common methods of improving fuel efficiency of a vehicle are to reduce the drag coefficient and the frontal area of the vehicle. Consider a car whose width (W) and height (H) are 1.85 m and 1.70 m, respectively, with a drag coefficient of 0.30. Determine the amount of fuel and money saved per year as a result of reducing the car height to 1.55 m while keeping its width the same. Assume the car is driven 18,000 km a year at an average speed of 95 km/h. Take the density and price of gasoline to be 0.74 kg/L and $0.95/L, respectively.
