A garage with no heating or cooling has a time constant of 2 hr. If the outside temperature varies as a sine wave with a minimum of 50°Fat2:00a.m.and a maximum of80°Fat2:00p.m., determine the times at which the building reaches its lowest temperature and its highest temperature, assuming the exponential term has died off.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The building reaches its lowest temperature 61oFat 7:05a.m.and the building reaches its highest temperature 68.9°Fat8:51a.m.

Step by step solution

01

Given information.

Given that the outside temperature varies as a sine wave with a minimum of 50°Fat 2:00a.m.and a maximum of 80°Fat 2:00p.m., It has to determine the times at which the building reaches its lowest temperature and its highest temperature, assuming the exponential term has died off.

02

Find the value of B.

Now, the value of M is,

M=M0-BcosӬt …… (1)

Here,Ó¬=2Ï€24=Ï€12

M0-B=50        ......(a)M0+B=80        ......(b)

At 2:00 a.m.,t=0

And at 2:00 p.m., t=12 hours.

Adding the equations (a) and (b),

2M0=130M0=65

Therefore,B=15.
03

To determine the temperature at time t.

The forcing function Qtis given by,

Qt=KM0-BcosÓ¬tQt=K24-8cosÓ¬t

Temperature Ttis given by

Tt=B0-BFt+Ce-kt............................(2)

Where,Ft=cosÓ¬t+Ó¬ksinÓ¬t1+Ó¬2k2

Substituting K=1, B=15 and B0=M0=65in equation (2),

Tt=65-15Ft+Ce-t

Now as the exponential term died off, therefore,

Tt=65-15Ft …… (3)

Where, the value of F(t) is,

Ft=11+Ó¬2k2cosÓ¬t1+Ó¬2k2+Ó¬ksinÓ¬t1+Ó¬2k2Ft=11+Ó¬2k2cosÓ¬t1+Ó¬2k2+Ó¬ksinÓ¬t1+Ó¬2k2

Ft=sinӬt+tan-1kӬ1+Ӭ2k2 …… (4)

04

To determine lowest and highest temperatures inside the building if the time constant is 2 hr

Now as the maximum value of sin x is 1.

Therefore, from equation (4),

Ft=11+Ó¬2k2

So, by substituting the value of Ftin equation (3),

Tt=65-151+Ó¬2k2

…… (5)

When the time constant is 2 hours i.e., when 1K=12

AndÓ¬=Ï€12

Thus, from equation (5),

Let TLbe the lowest temperature,

TL=65-151+Ó¬2k2TL=65-151+4Ï€2144TL=610F

Now as the minimum value of sin x is 1.

Hence, from equation (4),

Ft=-11+Ó¬2k2

So, from equation (5),

Let THbe the highest temperature,

TH=65+151+Ó¬2k2TH=65+151+4Ï€2144TH=68.90F

Thereafter, if the time constant is 2 hours, the lowest temperature inside the building will reach 61°F and the highest temperature will reach 68.9°F.

05

To determine times at which the temperature inside the building reaches its lowest and highest temperature

Newton’s Law of cooling is,

Tt=M0+T0-M0e-kt

When ,T(t)=61oF

61=65+15-65e-t2-4=-50e-t24=50e-t2et2=504t2=ln12.5t=2ln12.5t=5.05hr

Accordingly, the building reaches its lowest temperature at7:05 a.m.

When ,T(t)=68.9oF

68.9=65+15-65e-t23.9=-50e-t23.9=-50e-t2et2=-503.9t2=-ln12.8t=-2ln12.8

Therefore, the building reaches its highest temperature at 8:51 p.m.

A swimming pool whose volume is 10,000 gal contains water that is 0.01% chlorine. Starting at t = 0, city water containing 0.001% chlorine is pumped into the pool at a rate of 5 gal/min. The pool water flows out at the same rate. What is the percentage of chlorine in the pool after 1 h? When will the pool water be 0.002% chlorine?

Escape Velocity.According to Newton’s law of gravitation, the attractive force between two objects varies inversely as the square of the distances between them. That is,Fg=GM1M2/r2whereM1andM2are the masses of the objects, ris the distance between them (center to center), Fgis the attractive force, and Gis the constant of proportionality. Consider a projectile of

constant mass mbeing fired vertically from Earth (see Figure 3.12). Let trepresent time and v the velocity of the projectile.

  1. Show that the motion of the projectile, under Earth’s gravitational force, is governed by the equationdvdt=-gR2r2, where ris the distance between the projectile and the center of Earth, Ris the radius of Earth, Mis the mass of Earth, andg=GM/R2.
  2. Use the fact that dr /dt = v to obtainvdvdt=-gR2r2
  3. If the projectile leaves Earth’s surface with velocity vo, show thatv2=2gR2r+vo2-2gR
  4. Use the result of part (c) to show that the velocity of the projectile remains positive if and only ifvo2-2gR>0. The velocityve=2gRis called the escape velocityof Earth.
  5. If g= 9.81 m/sec 2and R= 6370 km for Earth, what is Earth’s escape velocity?
  6. If the acceleration due to gravity for the moon is gm= g/6 and the radius of the moon is Rm= 1738 km, what is the escape velocity of the moon?

Beginning at time t=0, fresh water is pumped at the rate of 3 gal/min into a 60-gal tank initially filled with brine. The resulting less-and-less salty mixture overflows at the same rate into a second 60-gal tank that initially contained only pure water, and from there it eventually spills onto the ground. Assuming perfect mixing in both tanks, when will the water in the second tank taste saltiest? And exactly how salty will it then be, compared with the original brine?

A parachutist whose mass is 100 kgdrops from a helicopter hovering 3000 m above the ground and falls under the influence of gravity. Assume that the force due to air resistance is proportional to the velocity of the parachutist, with the proportionality constant b3=20 N-sec/mwhen the chute is closed andb4=100 N-sec/m when the chute is open. If the chute does not open until 30 sec after the parachutist leaves the helicopter, after how many seconds will he hit the ground? If the chute does not open until 1 min after he leaves the helicopter, after how many seconds will he hit the ground?

In 1980 the population of alligators on the Kennedy Space Center grounds was estimated to be 1500. In 2006 the population had grown to an estimated 6000. Using the Malthusian law for population growth, estimate the alligator population on the Kennedy Space Center grounds in the year 2020.
