Below are four kinetic expressions (mathematical models), which have been proposed to simulate coliform die - away during the disinfection of wastewater. Given the batch laboratory data in the table below, which of the four models best describes the coliform die - away? Linearize the equations and make four graphical presentations of the linearized equation and the laboratory data.
a. dC/dt =-k1C
b. dC/dt = -k2C2
c. dC/dt = -k3CX where, X is the concentration of the chlorine disinfectant,
d. dC/dt = -k4Ct where, C is the concentration of the coliform bacteria (colony forming units, cfu/mL) and is t (min)
For the best model, report the rate constant that you obtained from your plot.

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.
