Young doctor is working at night in an emergency room. emergencies come in at times of a poisson process with rate 0.5 per hour. the doctor can only get to sleep when it has been 36 minutes (.6 hours) since the last emergency. for example, if there is an emergency at 1: 00 and a second one at 1: 17 then she will not be able to get to sleep until at least 1: 53, and it will be even later if there is another emergency before that time. (a) compute the long-run fraction of time she spends sleeping, by formulating a renewal reward process in which the reward in the ith interval is the amount of time she gets to sleep in that interval. (b) the doctor alternates between sleeping for an amount of time si and being awake for an amount of time ui. use the result from (a) to compute eui.

An implanted pacemaker supplies the heart with 72 pulses per minute, each pulse providing 6.0 v for 0.65 ms. the resistance of the heart muscle between the pacemaker’s electrodes is 550 ω. find (a) the current that flows during a pulse, (b) the energy delivered in one pulse, and (c) the average power supplied by the pacemaker.

In a wind tunnel the speed changes as the cross sectional area of the tunnel changes. if the speed in a 6' x 6' square test section is 100 mph, what was the speed upstream of the test section where the tunnel measured 20' x 20'? use conservation of mass and assume incompressible flow. conservation of mass requires that as the flow moves through a path or a duct the product of the density, velocity and cross sectional area must remain constant; i.e., that ova-constant. a model is being tested in a wind tunnel at a speed of 100 mph if the flow in the test section is at sea level standard conditions, what is the pressure at the model's stagnation point? (a) the tunnel speed is being measured by a pitot-static tube connected to a u- tube manometer. what is the reading on that manometer in inches of water? (b) at one point on the model a pressure of 2058 psf is measured. what is the local airspeed at that point?

The inside surface of a cylindrical-shaped cave of inner diameter 1.0 m is continuously covered with a very thin layer of water. the cave is very long and it is open on both ends. the water on the cave surface is at a constant temperature of 15.5 °c. the cave is constantly exposed to wind such that 15.5 °c air flows through the cave at 4.5 m/s. the kinematic viscosity of the air is 14.66 x 10-6 m2/s and the molecular diffusion coefficient of water vapor in the air is 0.239 x 10-4 m2/s. because the cave diameter is so large, the flow of wind down the length of the cave, in the x direction, can be treated like it is external flow and the cave surface can be approximated as flat where appropriate. calculate the x value, in a) the transition to turbulent flow occurs at rex meters, where the air flow transitions from laminar to turbulent along the inside surface of the cave b) calculate the x value, in meters, where the bulk steady state concentration of water vapor in the air flowing in the cave is 10% of the saturation concentration. assume the air at the surface of the water layer is 100% saturated with water vapor. assume the wind entering the cave contained no moisture before it entered the cave. take into account the transition from laminar to turbulent flow when solving part b
