A westbound section of freeway currently has three 12-ft wide lanes, a 6-ft right shoulder, and no ramps within 3 miles upstream

and downstream of the segment midpoint. It is on rolling terrain with 10% heavy vehicles and is operating at capacity with a peak-hour factor of 0.9. If the road is expanded to four 11-foot lanes with a 2-foot right shoulder, and traffic after the expansion is projected to increase by 10% with the same heavy vehicle percentage and peak-hour factor, what is the new LOS and estimated density?

Answer:

•Estimated density = 39.685Pc/mi/en

•Level of service, LOS frequency = LOSC

Explanation:

We are given:

•Freeway current lane width,B = 12ft

• freeway current shoulder width,b = 6ft

• percentage of heavy vehicle, Ptb = 10℅

• peak hour factor, PHF = 0.9

Let's consider,

•Number of lanes N = 4

• flow of traffic V = 7500vph

• percentage of Rv = 0, therefore the freeflow speed in freeway FFS = 70mph

• cars equivalent for recreational purpose Er= 2

•cars to be used for trucks and busses Etb= 2.5

Let's first calculate for the heavy adjustment factor.

We have:

F_H_v = \frac{1}{1+P_t_b(E_t_b-1)+Pr(Er-1)}

Substituting figures in the equation we have:

= \frac{1}{1+0.1(2.5-1)+0(2-1)}

= 0.75

Let's now calculate equivalent flow rate of the car using:

Vp = \frac{V}{(P_H_F)*N)*(F_H_v)*(F_p)}

= \frac{7500}{0.9*4*0.75*1}

= 2777.7 pc/h/en

Calculating for traffic density, we have:

D = \frac{Vp}{FFS}

D = \frac{2777.7}{70}

D = 39.685 Pc/mi/en

Using the table for LOS criteria of basic frequency segment, the level of service LOS of frequency is LOSC

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The answer is option

C . the JFET has a PN junction

Explanation:

Not only is option C in the question a dissimilarity between the MOSFET and the JFET we can go on with some more dissimilarities.

1.MOSFET stands for Metal Oxide Silicon Field Effect Transistor or Metal          Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor.

  (JFET) stands for junction gate field-effect transistor (JFET)  

2. JFET is a three-terminal semiconductor device, whereas  MOFET a four-terminal semiconductor device.  

3. In terms of areas of application of  JFETs are used in low noise applications while MOSFETs,  are used for high noise applications

State five applications of thermochromic materials
rusak2 [61]

Explanation:

The end-use industries of thermochromic materials include packaging, printing & coating, medical, textile, industrial, and others. Printing & coating is the fastest-growing end-use industry of thermochromic materials owing to a significant increase in the demand for thermal paper for POS systems. The use of thermochromic materials is gaining momentum for interactive packaging that encourages consumers to take a product off the shelf and use it.
