A grocery store has a policy that when the cashiers give change back to the customers, they should use the fewest number of coins.1. Suppose that the store has infinite supplies of quarters (25 cents), dimes (10 cents), nickels (5 cents), and pennies (1 cent). Describe a greedy algorithm to make change using the fewest number of coins.2. If the store runs out of nickels (5 cents), then the greedy algorithm may not yield an optimal solution for some amounts of change. What is the smallest amount n in this case that the greedy algorithm fails to make change using the fewest number of coins?3. Suppose that the government adopts a different set of coin denominations, consisting of k denominations. Give an O(nk)-time dynamic-programming algorithm that makes change for any amount n using the fewest number of coins. This algorithm should work for any set of k coin denominations, as long as it includes a penny.

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
