The cooling towers of many nuclear power plants are designed in the shape of an elliptic hyperboloid (hyperboloid of one sheet) Figure: Nuclear Cooling Towers Imagine that a certain plant uses cooling towers that are 00 feet in total height, with a radius of roughly V500 feet. The equation for the surface of the cooling towe8 can be described as: _+____ = 1, for-65 5002000 z 15 Using Matlab's ezsurf0 function and the following parameterization produce a plot of the cooling tower. r(u,t) 10v5(cost +usint) y(u,t) = 10V5(sint-u cost) z(u,t) 20 5u -13 3
