From an aerial photograph, one observes that on a level section of a (multilane) highway, 25% of the vehicles are trucks, 75% ar

e cars, and there are 50 vehicles per mile of highway. The trucks travel at 40 mph and the cars at 60 mph. This highway also has a section with a steep grade on which the speed of the trucks drops to 25 mph and the speed of the cars to 55 mph. No vehicles enter or exit the subject highway sections (except at the ends). The flows on these highwaysections are stationary, which means that the flows on the level section are equal to those on the grade. Determine
(a) the flow of vehicles on the level section;
(b) the density of vehicles on the grade;
(c) the percent of trucks on the grade as seen from an aerial photo; (d) the percent of trucks as seen by a stationary observer on the grade.

Answer:

(a) Flow rate of vehicles = No of vehicles per mile * Speed

=No of cars per mile * Speed +No of trucks per mile * Speed

= 0.75*50*60 + 0.25*50*40

=2750 vehicles / hour

(b) Let Density of vehicles on grade = x

Density on flat * Speed =Density on grade * Speed

So,( 0.75*50) * 60 + (0.25*50) * 40 = (0.75* x) * 55 + (0.25* x) * 25

So, x= 57.89

So, Density is around 58 Vehicles per Mile.

(c) Percentage of truck by aerial photo = 25%

(d)Percentage of truck bystationary observer on the grade= 25*30/60 * 25/55 =22.73 %

For a cylindrical annulus whose inner and outer surfaces are maintained at 30 ºC and 40 ºC, respectively, a heat flux sensor mea
miskamm [114]

Answer:

k=0.12\ln(r_2/r_1)\frac {W}{ m^{\circ} C}

where r_1 and r_2 be the inner radius, outer radius of the annalus.

Explanation:

Let r_1, r_2 and L be the inner radius, outer radius and length of the given annulus.

Temperatures at the inner surface, T_1=30^{\circ}C\\ and at the outer surface, T_2=40^{\circ}C.

Let q be the rate of heat transfer at the steady-state.

Given that, the heat flux at r=3cm=0.03m is

40 W/m^2.

\Rightarrow \frac{q}{(2\pi\times0.03\times L)}=40

\Rightarrow q=2.4\pi L \;W

This heat transfer is same for any radial position in the annalus.

Here, heat transfer is taking placfenly in radial direction, so this is case of one dimentional conduction, hence Fourier's law of conduction is applicable.

Now, according to Fourier's law:

q=-kA\frac{dT}{dr}\;\cdots(i)

where,

K=Thermal conductivity of the material.

T= temperature at any radial distance r.

A=Area through which heat transfer is taking place.

Here, A=2\pi rL\;\cdots(ii)

Variation of temperature w.r.t the radius of the annalus is

\frac {T-T_1}{T_2-T_1}=\frac{\ln(r/r_1)}{\ln(r_2/r_1)}

\Rightarrow \frac{dT}{dr}=\frac{T_2-T_1}{\ln(r_2/r_1)}\times \frac{1}{r}\;\cdots(iii)

Putting the values from the equations (ii) and (iii) in the equation (i), we have

q=\frac{2\pi kL(T_1-T_2)}{\LN(R_2/2_1)}

\Rightarrow k= \frac{q\ln(r_2/r_1)}{2\pi L(T_2-T_1)}

\Rightarrow k=\frac{(2.4\pi L)\ln(r_2/r_1)}{2\pi L(10)} [as q=2.4\pi L, and T_2-T_1=10 ^{\circ}C]

\Rightarrow k=0.12\ln(r_2/r_1)\frac {W}{ m^{\circ} C}

This is the required expression of k. By putting the value of inner and outer radii, the thermal conductivity of the material can be determined.
