1 Heated Pipe (4.56)
Air flows steadily through a long pipe with a speed of u=50 [ m s−1 ] +0.5 [ s−1 ] x , where x is the
distance along the pipe in ft and u is in ft s−1 . Due to heat transfer into the pipe, the air
temperature T within the pipe is T =300 [ ˚ F ] +10 [ ˚ F ft −1] x . Determine the rate of change of
the temperature of air particles

3 Bicycle ride to the beach
A bicyclist leaves from her home at 9 A.M. and rides to a beach 40 mi away. Because of a breeze
off the ocean, the temperature at the beach remains T beach =60 [ ˚ F ] throughout the day. At the
cyclist’s home the temperature increases linearly with time, going from T home , 9 am =60 [ ˚ F ] at
9am. to T home , 1 pm =80 [ ˚ F ] by 1pm. The temperature is assumed to vary linearly as a function of
position between the cyclist’s home and the beach. Determine the rate of change of temperature
observed by the cyclist for the following conditions:
a) as she pedals 10 mph through a town 10 mi from her home at 10am
b) as she eats lunch at a rest stop 30 mi from her home at noon;
c) as she arrives enthusiastically at the beach at 1 P.M., pedaling 20 mph.

4 Moving Container (20 pts)
Water flows from a nozzle with a speed of U =10 [ m s−1 ] and is collected in a container that
moves toward the nozzle with a speed of U cv =2 [ m s−1] . The moving control surface consists of
the inner surface of the container. The system consists of the water in the container at time
t=0 [ s ] and the water between the nozzle and the tank. The jet from the nozzle to the tank has
constant diameter stream d=0.1 [ m ] .
a) At time t 0=0 [ s ] , what volume of the system is outside of the control volume?
b) At time t 1=0.1 [ s ] what volume of the system remains outside of the control volume?
c) How much water enters the control volume during this time period?
d) Repeat the problem for t 2=0.3 [ s ] .
