A spherical raindrop falling through fog or mist
accumulates mass due to condensation at a rate
proportional to its cross-sectional area multiplied by the
velocity.
a. Calculate the acceleration of the raindrop in terms of its
radius and velocity. The raindrop starts from rest and has almost
zero size.
b. If a terminal velocity of 10 m/s is reached at a raindrop radius
of 1 mm, find the proportionality constant for the increase in the
raindrop's mass with velocity.
c. find the relationship between the raindrop radius, r,
and the height dropped, y. [Hint: v =
dy/dt]
d. How far does the raindrop fall as it grows to a size of 1
mm?

A spherical raindrop falling through mist builds up mass. The
mass accumlates at a rate proportional to its cross-sectional area
and invers;ey proportional to its velocity, that is, dm/dt=k?r2/v,
where r is the radius of the raindrop at a given time and v is the
downard speed at the same time.Assuming the density P of the rain
drop is a constant. Ignoring the resistance do to the fog and the
air, calculate the instaneous acceleration of the raindrop as a...

4. Falling Drop A raindrop of mass \(m_{0}\), starting from rest, falls under the influence of gravity. Assume that as the raindrop travels through the clouds, it gains mass at a rate proportional to the momentum of the raindrop, \(\frac{d m_{r}}{d t}=k m_{r} v_{r}\), where \(m_{r}\) is the instantaneous mass of the raindrop, \(v_{r}\) is the instantaneous velocity of the raindrop, and \(k\) is a constant with unit \(\left[m^{-1}\right] .\) You may neglect air resistance.(a) Derive a differential equation for the...

Determine the mass flow rate of the refrigerant flowing through
the condensor of a two-stage compression refrigeration cycle (in
kg/s). The fraction of the refrigerant that evaporates as it is
throttled to the flash chamber is 0.19. The enthalpy of the
refrigerant entering the evaporator is 55.14 kJ/kg and the enthalpy
of the refrigerant leaving the evaporator is 239.19 kJ/kg. The
amount of heat removed from the refrigerated space is 28 kW. (Round
your answer to three decimal places).
