A corporation is inspecting solar panels it purchased from a vendor. The shipment usually contains 20 solar panels. During the inspection, a random sample of 7 is selected and tested. Suppose there are 4 defective solar panels in the batch of 20. What is the probability that for a given sample, there will be 1 defective solar panel?

Assuming the plates are 15 feet tall and 6 feet long, and are arranged with three mechanical fields,calculate the aspect ratio. An ESP must treat 800,000 aefra with 99% efficiency.
The PureNSafe Company is designing a solar-driven, portable water disinfection system to be used by the military. The system is simply an inlet tube, a pump, a well-mixed chamber, and an outlet tube. Water is pumped continuously into the chamber where it is irradiated with UV light before exiting through the outlet tube into a collection vessel. The disinfection rate constant for UV light is 7.50 s-1, and the number of bacteria in the water must be reduced by 3.5 logs. Because the military needs the unit to fit into a backpack, they require that the unit’s chamber be no larger than 2.00 L. a) How much water will the system be able to produce during 10 hours of sunlight? b) If instead of a well-mixed chamber, the backpack unit is designed using coiled tubing (2.00 L total volume), how much water will the system be able to produce during 10 hours of sunlight?
A polluted air stream flowing at 12,000 acfm at 90 °F and 1 atm has a concentration of 500 ppm of ethylbenzene (C8H10). Pilot plant studies of the adsorption process indicate that 11 lb (net) of ethylbenzene will be adsorbed per 100 lb of carbon during normal everyday operations. Calculate the minimum amount of carbon needed m one bed for a two-hour run time. Give your answer In pounds.

A liquid delivery system is being designed suchthat ethylene glycol flows out of a hole in the bottom of a largetank, as shown in the figure. The designers need to predict howlong it will take for the ethylene glycol to completely drain.Since it would be very expensive to run tests with a full-scaleprototype using ethylene glycol, they decide to build a onequarter scale model for experimental testing, and they plan touse water as their test liquid. The model is geometricallysimilar to the full-scale unit.a. Use dimensional analysis to develop a dimensionless expression for the time to empty acontainer tempty as a function of the liquid density ρ, viscosity µ, gravity constant g, holediameter d, and tank diameter D, and initial height h above the bottom of the tank. Use ρ,g, and h as repeating variables.b. The temperature of the ethylene glycol in the prototype tank is 60°C, at which ν =4.75*10–6 m2/s. At what temperature should the water in the model experiment be set inorder to ensure…

A liquid delivery system is being designed such that ethylene glycol flows out of a hole in the bottom of a large tank. The designers need to predict how long it will take for the ethylene glycol to completely drain. Since it would be very expensive to run tests with a full-scale prototype using ethylene glycol, they decide to build a one-quarter scale model for experimental testing, and they plan to use water as their test liquid. The model is geometrically similar to the prototype as shown in the Figure.(a) Temperature of the ethylene glycol in the prototype tank is 60°C, at which υ = 4.75x10-6 m2/s. At what temperature should the water in the model experiment be set in order to ensure complete similarity between model and prototype?(b) The experiment is run with water at the proper temperature as calculated in part (a). It takes 3.27 min to drain the model tank. Predict how long it will take to drain the ethylene glycol from the prototype tank.
