6.28 A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) in rolling terrain has 10-ft lanes and obstructions 4 ft from the right

edge of the traveled pavement. There are five ramps within three miles upstream of the segment midpoint and four ramps within three miles downstream of the segment midpoint. A directional peak-hour volume of 2000 vehicles (primarily commuters) is observed, with 600 vehicles arriving in the highest 15-min flow rate period. The traffic stream contains 12% large trucks and buses and 6% recreational vehicles. What is the density of the traffic stream?

Answer:

Assume Base free flow speed (BFFS) = 70 mph

Lane width = 10 ft

Reduction in speed corresponding to lane width, fLW = 6.6 mph

Lateral Clearance = 4 ft

Reduction in speed corresponding to lateral clearance, fLC = 0.8 mph

Interchanges/Ramps = 9/ 6 miles = 1.5 /mile

Reduction in speed corresponding to Interchanges/ramps, fID = 5 mph

No. of lanes = 3

Reduction in speed corresponding to number of lanes, fN = 3 mph

Free Flow Speed (FFS) = BFFS – fLW – fLC – fN – fID = 70 – 6.6 – 0.8 – 3 – 5 = 54.6 mph

Peak Flow, V = 2000 veh/hr

Peak 15-min flow = 600 veh

Peak-hour factor = 2000/ (4*600) = 0.83

Trucks and Buses = 12 %

RVs = 6 %

Rolling Terrain

fHV = 1/ (1 + 0.12 (2.5-1) + 0.06 (2.0-1)) = 1/1.24 = 0.806

fP = 1.0

Peak Flow Rate, Vp = V / (PHV*n*fHV*fP) = 2000/ (0.83*3*0.806*1.0) = 996.54 ~ 997 veh/hr/ln

Vp < (3400 – 30 FFS)

S = FFS

S = 54.6 mph

Density = Vp/S = (997) / (54.6) = 18.26 veh/mi/ln

In an air compressor the compression takes place at a constant internal energy and 50KJ of heat are rejected to the cooling wate
lozanna [386]

Answer:

work is 50 kj

Explanation:

Given  data

heat (Q) = 50 kj

To find out

work input for the compression stroke per kilogram of air

Solution

we will apply here "first law of thermodynamics" i.e.

The First Law of Thermodynamics states that heat is a form of energy, subject to the principle of conservation of energy, that heat energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can be transferred from one location to another  location. i.e.

ΔU = Q – W                        ................1

here ΔU is change in internal energy, Q is heat and W is work done

here U = 0 because air compressor the compression takes place at a constant internal energy in question

so that by equation 1

Q = W

and Q = 50

so work will be 50 kj

Which type of vehicle is used routinely at construction and mining sites?
satela [25.4K]

We are required to state the type of vehicle which is routinely used at the construction site.

The vehicle which is routinely used at the construction site is called hydraulic vehicle.

  • Hydraulics as the name implies is pertaining to water. Hydraulic vehicle is a vehicle used on the construction site. The vehicle makes use of liquids to function. The fluid powers the engine of the vehicle do as to generate power.

  • Types of fluids used in hydraulic vehicles includes: Water fluid, petroleum fluid, synthetic fluid.

The phasor technique makes it pretty easy to combine several sinusoidal functions into a single sinusoidal expression without us
devlian [24]

Answer:

The phasor technique can't be applied directly in the following cases:

a) 45 sin(2500t – 50°) + 20 cos(1500t +20°)

b) 100 cos(500t +40°) + 50 sin(500t – 120°) – 120 cos(500t + 60°)

c)  -100 sin(10,000t +90°) + 40 sin(10, 100t – 80°) + 80 cos(10,000t)

d)  75 cos(8t+40°) + 75 sin(8t+10°) – 75 cos(8t + 160°)

Explanation:

For a) and c), it is not possible to use the phasor technique, due this technique is only possible when the sinusoidal signals to be combined are all of the same frequency.

This is due to the vector representing a signal is showed as a fixed vector in the graph( which magnitude is equal to the amplitude of the sinusoid and his angle is the phase angle with respect to cos (ωt)), which is rotating at an angular speed equal to the angular frequency of the sinusoidal signal that represents, like a radius that shows a point rotating in a circular uniform movement.

This rotating vector represents a sinusoidal signal, in the form of a cosine (as the real part of the complex function e^{j(wt+\alpha)}), so it is not possible to combine with functions expressed as a sine, even though both  have  the same frequency.

If we look at the graphs of cos (ωt) and sin (ωt) we can say that the sin lags the cos in 90º, so we can say the following:

sin (ωt) = cos (ωt-90º)

This means that in order to be able to represent a sine function  as a cosine, we need to rotate it 90º in the plane clockwise.

This is the reason why before doing this transformation, it is not possible to use the phasor technique for b) and d).
