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.

A pipe is insulated such that the outer radius of the insulation is less than the critical radius. Now the insulation is taken o
irina [24]

Answer:

the heat transfer from the pipe will decrease when the insulation is taken off for r₂< r_{cr}

where;

r₂ = outer radius

r_{cr} = critical radius

Explanation:

Note that the critical radius of insulation depends on the thermal conductivity of the insulation k and the external convection heat transfer coefficient h .

r_{cr} =\frac{k}{h}

The rate of heat transfer from the cylinder increases with the addition of insulation for outer radius less than  critical radius (r₂< r_{cr}) 0,  and reaches a maximum when r₂ = r_{cr}, and starts to decrease for r₂< r_{cr}. Thus, insulating the pipe may actually increase the rate of heat transfer from the pipe instead of decreasing it when r₂< r_{cr} .
