A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) currently operates at maximum LOS C conditions. The lanes are 11 ft wide, the

right-side shoulder is 4 ft wide, and there are two ramps within three miles upstream of the segment midpoint and one ramp within three miles downstream of the segment midpoint. The highway is on rolling terrain with 10% heavy vehicles, and the peak hour factor is 0.90. Determine the hourly volume for these conditions.

Answer:

4.071 veh/h.

Explanation:

Step one: calculate the estimated free flow speed by using the formula below;

= 75.4 - F(L) - F(C) - 3.22T^ 0.84.

The value of F(L) = 1.9 m/h and F(C) = 0.8 m/h.

Hence,

free flow speed = 75.4 - 1.9 - 0.8 - 3.22(3/6)^0.84.

free flow speed= 75.4 - 1.9 - 0.8 - 1.799

free flow speed= 70.901 mi/h = 70 mi/h.

Step two: determine the adjustment factor by using the formula below;

The adjustment factor = 1/ [1 + Pm (Em - 1) + Pn (En - 1)].

The adjustment factor = 1/[ 1+ 10/100 ( 2.5 - 1) + 0(2.0 - 1] = 0.869.

Step three;

Calculate the hourly volume;

The value corresponding to the LOS C conditions and free flow speed at 70 mi/h is 1735.

Therefore,

hourly volume, V = 1735 × 0.9 × 0.869 × 3.

Hourly volume, V = 4.071 veh/h.

professor190 [17]

Answer:

It helps ensure the security of client data.

Explanation:

Cloud computing is one of the security features in networking which is being adopted by big corporations and organizations inorder to ensure smooth running of the organization.

Also, due to the sensitivity of data which some organizations deals in, they tried everything possible to protect themselves and their clients' information through use of cloud computing.<em> Data are stored in the clouds, and requires special administrative rights for it to be accessed by some of the staffs working in any given organization.</em>

Consider the circuit below where R1 = R4 = 5 Ohms, R2 = R3 = 10 Ohms, Vs1 = 9V, and Vs2 = 6V. Use superposition to solve for the

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The value of v2 in each case is:

A) V2=3v for only Vs1

B) V2=2v for only Vs2

C) V2=5v for both Vs1 and Vs2

Explanation:

In the attached graphic we draw the currents in the circuit. If we consider only one of the batteries, we can consider the other shorted.

Also, what the problem asks is the value V2 in each case, where:

$V_2=I_2R_2=V_{ab}$

If we use superposition, we passivate a battery and consider the circuit affected only by the other battery.

In the first case we can use an equivalent resistance between R2 and R3:

$V_{ab}'=I_1'R_{2||3}=I_1'\cdot(\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3})^{-1}$

And

$V_{S1}-I_1'R_1-I_1'R_4-I_1'R_{2||3}=0 \rightarrow I_1'=0.6A$

$V_{ab}'=I_1'R_{2||3}=3V=V_{2}'$

In the second case we can use an equivalent resistance between R2 and (R1+R4):

$V_{ab}''=I_3'R_{2||1-4}=I_3'\cdot(\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_1+R_4})^{-1}$

And

$V_{S2}-I_3'R_3-I_3'R_{2||1-4}=0 \rightarrow I_3'=0.4A$

$V_{ab}''=I_3'R_{2||1-4}=2V$

If we consider both batteries:

$V_2=I_2R_2=V_{ab}=V_{ab}'+V_{ab}''=5V$

In a production turning operation, the foreman has decreed that a single pass must be completed on the cylindrical workpiece in

stellarik [79]

Answer:

V = 125.7m/min

Explanation:

Given:

L = 400 mm ≈ 0.4m

D = 150 mm ≈ 0.15m

T = 5 minutes

F = 0.30mm ≈ 0.0003m

To calculate the cutting speed, let's use the formula :

$T = \frac{pi* D * L}{V*F}$

We are to find the speed, V. Let's make it the subject.

$V = \frac{pi* D * L}{F*T}$

Substituting values we have:

$V = \frac{pi* 0.4 * 0.15}{0.0003*5}$

V = 125.68 m/min ≈ 125.7 m/min

Therefore, V = 125.7m/min

A tank with a volume of 8 m3 containing 4 m3 of 20% (by volume) NaOH solution is to be purged by adding pure water at a rate of

lawyer [7]

Answer:

The time necessary to purge 95% of the NaOH is 0.38 h

Explanation:

Given:

vfpure water(i) = 3 m³/h

vNaOH = 4 m³

xNaOH = 0.2

vfpure water(f) = 2 m³/h

pwater = 1000 kg/m³

pNaOH = 1220 kg/m³

The mass flow rate of the water is = 3 * 1000 = 3000 kg/h

The mass of NaOH in the solution is = 0.2 * 4 * 1220 = 976 kg

When the 95% of the NaOH is purged, thus the NaOH in outlet is = 0.95 * 976 = 927.2 kg

The volume of NaOH in outlet after time is = 927.2/1220 = 0.76 m³

The time required to purge the 95% of the NaOH is = 0.76/2 = 0.38 h
