You have been hired to run a hydrogen production plant. The fixed cost (amortization of the equipment, and the buildings, salaries, taxes, etc.) amounts to cF=$2000/day regardless of how much hydrogen is produced. The electrolyzer consists of N cellsconnected in series, each having the characteristic, V=V0+RintI The utility will provide electric energy at a price, c(in $/kWh), that can vary from day to daydepending on availability. Each day you must adjust the hydrogen production rates , Hprod. rate(kg/day) so as to minimize the cost of the gas. To this end, you must develop a formula that tells you the optimal production rate as a function of c. Calculate the Hydrogen production rate that leads to the cheapest gas for the case in which there are 250 series connected cells, each one having the characteristic V=1.42+20*10-6I Do this for an electric energy cost of 2 cents per kWh. Thank you very much for your help

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.

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.
