A human-powered aircraft has a gross weight of 240 lbf including the pilot. Its wing has a lift coefficient of 1.5 and a lift- to-drag ratio of 70. Estimate the wing area needed and the pilot power that must be provided for this craft to cruise at 15 mph. Assume that the wing profile drag is about 40 percent of the total drag and the propeller efficiency is 80 percent.

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.
