ℒ[f(t)]=cos(4)(−16(s+1)(s+16)2)+sin(4)(4(s−16)(s+16)2)+2s3

Explanation of Solution

Simplify the given function and expand using the formula cos(A−B)=cosAcosB+sinAsinB as:

f(t)=(t−1)cos(4(t−1))+t2=t(cos(4t−4))−(cos(4t−4))+t2=t(cos(4t)cos(4)+sin(4t)sin(4))−(cos(4t)cos(4)+sin(4t)sin(4))+t2=cos(4)tcos(4t)+sin(4)tsin(4t)−cos(4)cos(4t)−sin(4)sin(4t)+t2

Gas "B" is being recycled and diluted. Air and gas B, which has a large molecular size, flow into a well-mixed tank of volume 15 ft³. At the outlet, a molecular sieve prevents any B from exiting the tank. At the outlet, air leaves at velocity 4 ft/s and the area is 1 ft³. Assume standard atmospheric conditions for air. Gas B enters through a cylindrical pipe with a non-uniform density p=C₁₂ r +C2 where R2 is the radius R₂ of pipe 2.

The Keystone XL pipeline is a controversial proposed expansion of the currently existing Keystone pipeline, which brings heavy Canadian crude oil into the United States. Once transported, this heavy crude oil is blended with lighter American crude oil to meet the specifications of refineries, where the oil is processed into products such as gasoline. Before being transported, the heavy crude oil is blended with a diluting fluid to reduce viscosity and pumping costs. The Keystone XL pipeline was originally proposed to transport 830,000 barrels of oil (not including diluents) per day (BPD) in a 1,179-mile long, 36-inch diameter steel pipe. Take the oil to be 22° American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity (i.e., heavy crude oil) with a viscosity of 300 cSt (centistokes) after the oil has been diluted to 65% of the flow to lower the viscosity for transport. The specific gravity of the oil (SGoil) can be found via Eq. 1 below, SGil = 141.5 API +131.5 (1) Neglecting the change in density of…
