Five percent excess air is used in burning the reformer fuel; it is drawn into the system at 30C and 70% relative humidity. Estimate the average molecular weight of the air. Why does it differ from the value of 29 determined in Example 3.3-4 even though the ratio of nitrogen to oxygen is the same? De

Your camping buddy has an idea for a light to go inside your tent. He happens to have a powerful (and heavy!) horseshoe magnet that he bought at a surplus store. This magnet creates a 0.20 T field between two pole tips 10 cm apart. His idea is to build the hand-cranked generator shown in FIGURE P30.5

Consider the example shown in Figure 139 . The initial net return is $70 in each activity, and there are 20 people in each activity. Suppose that instead of increasing the burglary penalty, we decrease the net return to lawful activity by half. This change is represented by a downward shift by $35 of
