A polutry farm owns 100 laying hens. Each week a hen can either lay 12 eggs or hatch 4 eggs, but not both. At the end of the four-week period all eggs and chicks will be sold: an egg will bring 10 cents, and a chick will bring 60 cents. Assume that an egg can be hatched only in the week after it is laid. Otherwise it must be saved and sold for 10 cents. Assume that there are no eggs available for hatching in the first week. Suggest a hen management strategy that will maximize profit for this operation.

Amount of heat transfer from ball during the cooling process : A football official inflates a football to the required gauge pressure of 13 psi prior to a game. The football has an internal volume of 160in^3 and the air is at a temperature of 75 degrees F when the football is first inflated.

Determine the mass flow rate of the glycerine : An automotive radiator cools glycerine from 95 degrees C to 55 degrees C, Air flows through it, entering at 20 degrees C and leaving at 25 degrees C. If the radiator is designed to reject 25kW determine the mass flow rate of the glycerine

Generalized compressibility factor-residual property charts : Ammonia is to be isothermally compressed in a specially designed flow turbine from 1 atm and 672 R to 50 atm. If the compression is done reversibly, compute the heat and work flows needed per lb-mole of ammonia by the following methods;

Determine the maximum compression in each of spring bumpers : The train engine on the left, A, is at rest, and the one on the right, B, is coasting to the left. If the engines are identical, use numerical values to show how to determine the maximum compression in each of the spring bumpers that are mounted in t..
