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

Water vapor at 5 bar, 320°C enters a turbine operating at steady state with a volumetric flow rate of 0.65 m3/s and expands adia
harina [27]

Answer:

Power = 371.28 kW

Explanation:

Initial pressure, P1 = 5 bar

Final pressure, P2 = 1 bar

Initial temperature, T1 = 320°C

Final temperature, T2 = 160°C

Volume flow rate, V = 0.65m³/s

From steam tables at state 1,

h1 = 3105.6 kJ/kg, s1 = 7.5308 kJ/kgK

v1 = 0.5416 m³/kg

Mass flow rate, m = V/v1

m = 1.2 kg/s

From steam tables, at state 2

h2 = 2796.2 kJ/kg, s2 = 7.6597 kJ/kgK

Power developed, P = m(h1 - h2)

P = 1.2(3105.6-2796.2)

P = 371.28 kW

A wooden pallet carrying 540kg rests on a wooden floor. (a) a forklift driver decides to push it without lifting it.what force m
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is "1481.76 N".

Explanation:

According to the question,

Mass,

m = 540 kg

Coefficient of static friction,

\mu_s = 0.28

Now,

The applied force will be:

⇒ F=\mu_s mg

By substituting the values, we get

       =0.28\times 540\times 9.8

       =1481.76 \ N

C++ - Green Crud Fibonacci programThe following program is to be written with a loop. You are to write this program three times
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Below is the required code:

Explanation:

Using for loop

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

    //Initial crud size

    int init = 0;

    int newCrud;

    int next=0;

    //Number of days to simulate

    int no_days;

    int day;

    cout << "Enter initial amount of green crud: ";

    cin >> newCrud;

    cout << "Enter number of days to simulate: ";

    cin >> no_days;

    for (day = 10; day<=no_days; day++)

    {

         if (day % 10 == 0)

         {

             next = newCrud + init;

         }

             newCrud = init;

             init = next;

    }

    if (no_days < 5)

    cout << "\nCrud reproduce only after 5 days minimum.Hence the current amount is "

    << newCrud << " pounds.";

    else

    cout << "On day " << no_days << " you have " << init

    << " pounds of green crud." << endl;

    cout << "\nWould you like to continue? (y or n): ";

    cin >> ans;

         return 0;

}

Output:

         Enter initial amount of green crud: 5

         Enter number of days to simulate: 220

    On day 220 you have 10485760 pounds of green crud.

Using while loop

Program:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

    char ans='y';

    while (ans == 'Y' || ans == 'y')

    {

         //Initial crud size

         int init = 0;

         int newCrud;

         int next=0;

         //Number of days to simulate

         int no_days;

         int day;

         cout << "Enter initial amount of green crud:

         ";

         cin >> newCrud;

         cout << "Enter number of days to simulate:

         ";

         cin >> no_days;

         for (day = 10; day<=no_days; day++)

         {

             if (day % 10 == 0)

             {

                  next = newCrud + init;

             }

                  newCrud = init;

                  init = next;

         }

         if (no_days < 5)

         cout << "\nCrud reproduce only after 5 days

         minimum.Hence the current amount is "

         << newCrud << " pounds.";

         else

         cout << "On day " << no_days << " you have "

         << init

         << " pounds of green crud." << endl;

         cout << "\nWould you like to continue? (y or

         n): ";

         cin >> ans;

    }

    return 0;

}

Output:

Enter initial amount of green crud: 5

Enter number of days to simulate: 220

On day 220 you have 10485760 pounds of green crud.

Would you like to continue? (y or n): y

Enter initial amount of green crud: 5

Enter number of days to simulate: 225

On day 225 you have 10485760 pounds of green crud.

Using do while loop

Program:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

    char ans;

    do

    {

         //Initial crud size

         int init = 0;

         int newCrud;

         int next=0;

         //Number of days to simulate

         int no_days;

         int day;

         cout << "Enter initial amount of green crud: ";

         cin >> newCrud;

         cout << "Enter number of days to simulate: ";

         cin >> no_days;

         for (day = 10; day<=no_days; day++)

         {

             if (day % 10 == 0)

             {

                  next = newCrud + init;

             }

                  newCrud = init;

                  init = next;

         }

         if (no_days < 5)

         cout << "\nCrud reproduce only after 5 days

         minimum.Hence the current amount is "

         << newCrud << " pounds.";

         else

         

         cout << "On day " << no_days << " you have " <<

         init << " pounds of green crud." << endl;

         cout << "\nWould you like to continue? (y or n):

         ";

         cin >> ans;

    } while (ans == 'Y' || ans == 'y');

    return 0;

}

Output:

Enter initial amount of green crud: 5

Enter number of days to simulate: 220

On day 220 you have 10485760 pounds of green crud.

Would you like to continue? (y or n): y

Enter initial amount of green crud: 5

Enter number of days to simulate: 225

On day 225 you have 10485760 pounds of green crud.

The capacity of a battery is 1800 mAh and its OCV is 3.9 V. a) Two batteries are placed in series. What is the combined battery
Lynna [10]

Answer:

capacity  = 0.555 mAh

capacity  = 3600 mAh

Explanation:

given data

battery = 1800 mAh

OCV = 3.9 V

solution

we get here capacity when it is in series

so here Q = 2C  

capacity  = 2 × ampere × second   ...............1

put here value and we get

and 1 Ah = 3600 C

capacity  = \frac{2}{3600}

capacity  = 0.555 mAh

and

when it is in parallel than capacity will be

capacity = Q1 +Q2   ...............2

capacity  = 1800 + 1800

capacity  = 3600 mAh
