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

A car accelerates from rest with an acceleration of 5 m/s^2. The acceleration decreases linearly with time to zero in 15 s, afte

Tpy6a [65]

Answer: At time 18.33 seconds it will have moved 500 meters.

Explanation:

Since the acceleration of the car is a linear function of time it can be written as a function of time as

$a(t)=5(1-\frac{t}{15})$

$a=\frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}}\\\\\therefore \frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}}=5(1-\frac{t}{15})$

Integrating both sides we get

$\int \frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}}dt=\int 5(1-\frac{t}{15})dt\\\\\frac{dx}{dt}=v=5t-\frac{5t^{2}}{30}+c$

Now since car starts from rest thus at time t = 0 ; v=0 thus c=0

again integrating with respect to time we get

$\int \frac{dx}{dt}dt=\int (5t-\frac{5t^{2}}{30})dt\\\\x(t)=\frac{5t^{2}}{2}-\frac{5t^{3}}{90}+D$

Now let us assume that car starts from origin thus D=0

thus in the first 15 seconds it covers a distance of

$x(15)=2.5\times 15^{2}-\farc{15^{3}}{18}=375m$

Thus the remaining 125 meters will be covered with a constant speed of

$v(15)=5\times 15-\frac{15^{2}}{6}=37.5m/s$

in time equalling $t_{2}=\frac{125}{37.5}=3.33seconds$

Thus the total time it requires equals 15+3.33 seconds

t=18.33 seconds

Calculate the change of entropy of 2 kg of air when its temperature increases from 400 K to 500 K at constant pressure equal to

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

0.45516

Explanation:

ENTROPY : Entropy is a measure of molecular disorder it is denoted by S. Entropy is also measured in terms of thermal energy and temperature it is equal to thermal energy per unit temperature.

from the table S₁=1.99194 KJ/kg.k (at 400k)

from the table S₂=2.21952 KJ/kg.k (at 500k)

so total entropy change is given by =m (S₂-S₁)

=2(2.21952-1.99194)

=0.45516
