A cross-country pipeline transports crude oil at a rate of 500,000 barrels per day. The pressure of the oil leaving Pumping Station A is 500 psig. The pressure at the inlet of Pumping Station B is 75 psig. Station B is at an elevation 157 feet higher than Station A. Given the crude oil density is 48.0 lbm/ft3 and one barrel is equivalent to 42 gallons, determine (a) the work loss (ft∙lbf /lbm) between A and B and (b) the equivalent power consumed in the process (horsepower).

Fluid Mechanics

Today I read articles and texts about Dirac monopoles and I have been wondering about the insistence on gauge potentials. Why do they seem (or why are they) so important to create a theory about magnetic monopoles?

And more generally, why do we like gauge potentials so much?

The equilibrium constant (KP) is 0.16 at a particular temperature for the reaction: N₂O₄(g) ⇌ 2NO₂(g)

Given the following sets of initial conditions, what is the net change that must occur for the reaction to reach equilibrium? Does the reaction shift left to reach equilibrium, does the reaction shift right to reach equilibrium or is the reaction at equilibrium at these initial concentrations so no net change will occur?

equilibrium, left, right? P_NO2 = 0.154 atm, P_N2O4 = 0.148 atm

equilibrium, left, right? P_NO2 = 0.210 atm, P_N2O4 = 0.138 atm

equilibrium, left, right ? P_NO2 = 0.149 atm, P_N2O4 = 0.05 atm

equilibrium, left, right? P_NO2 = 0.087 atm, P_N2O4 = 0.13 atm

equilibrium, left, right? P_NO2 = 0.068 atm, P_N2O4 = 0.058 atm

Problem 5-29 Changes in Cost Structure; Break-Even Analysis; Operating Leverage; Margin of Safety [LO5-4, LO5-5, LO5-7, LO5-8]

Morton Company’s contribution format income statement for last month is given below:

The industry in which Morton Company operates is quite sensitive to cyclical movements in the economy. Thus, profits vary considerably from year to year according to general economic conditions. The company has a large amount of unused capacity and is studying ways of improving profits.

Required:

1. New equipment has come onto the market that would allow Morton Company to automate a portion of its operations. Variable expenses would be reduced by $8.70 per unit. However, fixed expenses would increase to a total of $767,340 each month. Prepare two contribution format income statements, one showing present operations and one showing how operations would appear if the new equipment is purchased.

2. Refer to the income statements in (1). For the present operations and the proposed new operations, compute (a) the degree of operating leverage, (b) the break-even point in dollar sales, and (c) the margin of safety in dollars and the margin of safety percentage.

3. Refer again to the data in (1). As a manager, what factor would be paramount in your mind in deciding whether to purchase the new equipment? (Assume that enough funds are available to make the purchase.)

4. Refer to the original data. Rather than purchase new equipment, the marketing manager argues that the company’s marketing strategy should be changed. Rather than pay sales commissions, which are currently included in variable expenses, the company would pay salespersons fixed salaries and would invest heavily in advertising. The marketing manager claims this new approach would increase unit sales by 30% without any change in selling price; the company’s new monthly fixed expenses would be $359,513; and its net operating income would increase by 20%. Compute the company's break-even point in dollar sales under the new marketing strategy.

What is internationalism? Which recent president is known for this style of foreign policy?

Timmy, a second-grader, wasn’t feeling like himself. A month ago his best friend moved to another city, leaving Timmy feeling sad, miserable, and with no one to play with in his free time. His mom and dad were worried because he was no longer interested in kite-flying, something he had really enjoyed for a long time. Timmy also tried to make excuses for why he should stay home from school. Sometimes Timmy wouldn’t go to sleep at night, and he wasn’t interested in eating any of his favorite foods. His parents worried about how sad he always seemed. After a month of worry, his parents decided to take Timmy to a family counselor.

How do you think the counselor will help Timmy?

Problem   1:   How   to   calculate   a   home's   value  

Housing economists have long used a home price/rent ratio as one way to gauge whether or not home prices are inflated or undervalued.

A housing P/E

The use of a price/rent ratio is analogous to employing a price/earnings ratio for stocks. When a stock price is high, and its earnings per share relatively low, the P/E is high. A high P/E often indicates that the stock is too expensive, and the share price is headed for a drop.
What someone is willing to pay to rent a place is that home's "earnings." And, just as in the stock market, a high home price related to the rental earnings mean homes values will probably drop.
For a specific look at how a home's P/E is determined, let's consider a home that is listed for either rent or sale in suburban Chicago.
The home has been rented for the past three years for $1,600 per month; so that is $19,200 per year. It is currently listed for sale at $400,000. Dividing the price by the total annual rent of $19,200 gives a "housing P/E" of 20.83. According to Moody's Economy.com, the long-run average housing P/E is 16, so a P/E of 20.83 suggests that this home may be somewhat overpriced.

For this programming project you will read in a list of housing prices and how much each house is rented for that are found in the attached HousingPrices.txt file. The file looks like this:

713047 1246
1605787 1979
1174719 1879
1018239 1700

Where the first value on each line is the price of the home, and the second number on each line is the price that this home currently rents for per month.
Read these numbers in from the file into 2 separate arrays of size 100, since there are 100 home prices/rents in the file. Do this part in your main method.   
Then use a for-loop to loop through the arrays and for each pair of values send them into a method that you will write called "getHousingPE". Your method will have two parameters; the price of the home and the current monthly rental rate of the home. Your method will calculate and then return the homes “housing P/E”.   
Check each homes returned P/E value and if the P/E value is greater than 16 you should write to the output “House # is somewhat overpriced”; where # is the number of the house in the file (1100). If the P/E is greater than 19 then you should write to the output “House # is way overpriced”. If the P/E is less than 12 then you should write to the output "“House # might be a good deal”. And if the P/E is less than 9 then you should write “Buy House #, it is a deal”. If the P/E is between 12-16 then output "House # is average".

Problem   2:   Determining   Left   or   Right    

For   this   programming   project   you   are   to   read   in   a   list   of   street   addresses   and   determine   how   many   of   those   addresses   are   on   the   right   side   of   the   street,   and   how   many   are   on   the   left.   The   street   addresses   file   is   a   text   file   that   looks   like:  
  
6 S 33rd St

6 Greenleaf Ave

618 W Yakima Ave

74 S Westgate St

3273 State St
  

You   can   determine   if   an   address   is   either   on   the   left   or   right   side   of   the   street   by   looking   at   the   number   of   the   address;   all   even   numbers   are   on   the   right   side   of   the   street,   and   all   odd   numbers   are   on   the   left   side   of   the   street.  
  
You   will   read   your   data   into   2   arrays;   an   integer   array   to   hold   the   street   number,   and   a   String   array   to   hold   the   rest   of   the   address.       These   will   be   parallel   arrays,   meaning   the   street   number   and   street   address   of   each   index   are   related   to   each   other.  
  
Remember   to   draw   a   picture   so   that   you   can   visualize   this.  
  
You   will   need   to   write   a   method   that   will   determine   if   each   house   is   on   the   left   or   right   side   of   the   street.  
  
You   will   call   this   method   for   every   street   address,   and   then   keep   a   count   of   how   many   houses   are   on   the   left   and   right   sides   of   the   street.  
  
The   output   should   be   the   street   number   and   address   and   then   whether   the   house   is   on   the   left   or   right   side   of   the   street:  
  
Address Left/Right

6649 N Blue Gum St left

4 B Blue Ridge Blvd right

8 W Cerritos Ave #54 right

639 Main St left

…
  

The   number   of   houses   on   the   left   and   right   sides   of   the   street   should   also   be   output.
