Plateau Creek carries 5.0 m^3 /s of water with a selenium (Se) concentration of 0.0015 mg/L. A farmer withdraws water at a certain flowrate (m3 /s) from the creek for irrigation. After using the water, half of the water withdrawn returns to the creek and contains 1.00 mg/L of Se. Fish in the creek are sensitive to Se levels over 0.04 mg/L. Required:

How much water (m3 /s) can the farmer withdraw from the stream to maintain Se at 0.04 mg/L after the contaminated water is returned to the creek?

Steel is coated with a thin layer of ceramic to protect against corrosion. what do you expect to happen to the coating when the temperature of the steel is increased significantly? explain.

Abrake has a normal braking torque of 2.8 kip in and heat-dissipating cast-iron surfaces whose mass is 40 lbm. suppose a load is brought to rest in 8.0 s from an initial angular speed of 1600 rev/min using the normal braking torque; estimate the temperature rise of the heat dissipating surfaces.

Asingle-geared blanking press has a stroke of 200 mm and a rated capacity of 320 kn. a cam driven ram is assumed to be capable of delivering the full press load at constant force during the last 15 percent of a constant-velocity stroke. the camshaft has an average speed of 90 rev/min and is geared to the flywheel shaft at a 6: 1 ratio. the total work done is to include an allowance of 16 percent for friction a) estimate the maximum energy fluctuation b) find the rim weight for an effective diameter of 1.2 m and a coefficient of speed fluctuation of 0.10
