Consider a function f(x) = 25x ଷ − 6x ଶ + 7x − 88. Using the Taylor series expansions of this functions from zero- through third-order, predict the value of f(x) with x = 3 using a base point of x଴ = 1.0. For each such Taylor series approximation, list the following: (i) Approximate value of f(3.0).
(ii) On what order of the step size ‘h’ is the truncation error?
(iii) Compute the true percent relative error,t , for each approximation.

For the closed feedwater heater below, feedwater enters state 3 at a pressure of 2000 psia and temperature of 420 °f at a rate of ix10 ibhr. the feedwat extracted steam enters state 1 at a pressure of 1000 psia and enthalpy of 1500 btu/lbm. the extracted er leaves at an enthalpy of 528.7 btu/lbm steam leaves as a saturated liquid. (16) a) determine the mass flow rate of the extraction steam used to heat the feedwater (10) b) determine the terminal temperature difference of the closed feedwater heater

Water in a partially filled large tank is to be supplied to the roof top, which is 8 m above the water level in the tank, through a 2.2-cm-internal-diameter pipe by maintaining a constant air pressure of 300 kpa (gage) in the tank. if the head loss in the piping is 2 m of water, determine the discharge rate of the supply of water to the roof top in liters per second.

Machinery that is a key part of the process and without which the plant or process cannot function is classifed as: (clo4) a)-critical machinery b)-essential machinery c)-general purpose machinery d)-none of the specified options.
