Suppose a vertical pipe is to be used as part of a system to manually cycle nutrients upward from the floor of a lake. (Many lakes do this naturally, some do not. Green Lake, near Syracuse, NY, is one such lake.) A pump is to be installed on the lake floor at the base of the pipe. The base of the pipe will have a diameter of 9 cm. The nozzle of the pipe at the top will have a diameter of 4 cm. The lake is 59 m deep at the installation point. (Ignore any viscosity.)

f.)Write an equation that expresses the heat current H of conduction through the ice as a function of the thickness h of the ice sheet (of area A) already formed. Assume the air temperature is a constant -10 ?C, and that the temperature of the bottom of the ice sheet is 0 ?C.

(g) (1 point) Since H = dQ dt , use your answer to (f) to express the amount of heat dQ conducted through the ice sheet in time dt.

(i) (2 points) Express the amount of heat dQ that must be removed from the water at the bottom of the ice sheet to freeze the mass dm you found in (g).

(j) (2 points) Based on (g) and (i), set the expressions for dQ equal to each other to obtain a differential equation relating the heat that must be removed to freeze a new layer to the heat conducted through the ice sheet.

(k) (2 points) Separate variables, and integrate to find the thickness h of the ice sheet as a function of time t. (Note that h = 0 when t = 0

In a vertical pipe conveying oil of sp. gr. 0.8, two pressure gages have been installed at A & B where the diameters are 16 cm and 8 cm respectively. A is 2 m above B. The pressure readings have shown that the pressure at A is 9810 N/ m2 greater than the pressure at B. Neglecting all losses, calculate the flow rate (Q).

The SDLC (software/system development life cycle) framework is a common development methodology used by organizations to build systems and software. Security is often an afterthought or only addressed late in the development process. How can threat modeling be includes during the entire development effort? At what points of the lifecycle would you include threat identification, testing and analysis? Why have you chosen those points in the development cycle?
