Your stomach is a chemical reactor. When you devour a fast food $0.99 hamburger in about a minute, it acts like an instantaneous input of 350 g of food entering the stomach. In response, the stomach starts producing gastric liquids (acids), which are continuously excreted into the stomach at a rate of 12.0 mL/min as the hamburger is digested. The fluid also leaves the stomach to the small intestine at a flow rate of 12.0 mL/min, so the volume of the liquid in the stomach stays constant at 1.15 L. The hamburger digestion rate constant is 1.33 hr-1.
A. What kind of ideal reactor would you model your stomach as?
B. What fraction of the hamburger's mass will remain undigested in your stomach one hour after you eat the hamburger?

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?
