A six-lane multilane highway (three lanes in each direction) has a peak-hour factor of 0.90, 11-ft lanes with a 4-ft right-side

shoulder, and a two-way left-turn lane in the median. The directional peak-hour traffic flow is 4000 vehicles with 14% SUTs and 6% TTs. What will the level of service of this highway be on a 4% upgrade that is 1.5 miles long if the speed limit is 55 mi/h and there are 15 access points per mile

A rectangular car-top carrier of 1.7-ft height, 5.0-ft length (front to back), and 4.2-ft width is attached to the top of a car.
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

\Delta P =1.2 \frac{1.3}{2}(26.822m/s)^2 (4.2*1.7*(0.3048)^2)=13.88 hp

Explanation:

We can assume that the general formula for the drag force is given by:

D= C_D \frac{\rho}{2}V^2 A

And we can see that is proportional to the area. On this case we can calculate the area with the product of the width and the height. And we can express the grad force like this:

D_1 = C_{D1} \frac{\rho}{2}V^2 (wh)

Where w is the width and h the height.

The last formula is without consider the area of the carrier, but if we use the area for the carrier we got:

D_2 = C_{D2} \frac{\rho}{2}V^2 (wh+ A_{carrier})

If we want to find the additional power added with the carrier we just need to take the difference between the multiplication of drag force by the velocity (assuming equal velocities for both cases) of the two cases, and we got:

\Delta P = C_{D2} \frac{\rho}{2}V^2 (wh+ A_{carrier}) V-  C_{D1} \frac{\rho}{2}V^2 (wh) V

We can assume the same drag coeeficient C_{D1}=C_{D2}=C_{D} and we got:

\Delta P = C_{D} \frac{\rho}{2}V^2 (wh+ A_{carrier}) V-  C_{D} \frac{\rho}{2}V^2 (wh) V

\Delta P = C_{D} \frac{\rho}{2}V^3 (A_{carrier})

1.7 ft =0.518 m

60 mph = 26.822 m/s

In order to find the drag coeffcient we ned to estimate the Reynolds number first like this:

R_E= \frac{Vl}{v}= \frac{26.822m/s*0.518 m}{1.58x10^{-4} Pa s}= 8.79 x10^{4}

And the value for the kinematic vicosity was obtained from the table of physical properties of the air under standard conditions.

Now we can find the aspect ratio like this:

\frac{l}{h}=\frac{5}{1.7}2.941

And we can estimate the calue of C_D = 1.2 from a figure.

And we can calculate the power difference like this:

\Delta P =1.2 \frac{1.3}{2}(26.822m/s)^2 (4.2*1.7*(0.3048)^2)=13.88 hp

A steam power plant operating on a simple ideal Rankine cycle maintains the boiler at 6000 kPa, the turbine inlet at 600 °C, and
ohaa [14]

Answer:

ηa=0.349

ηb=0.345

Explanation:

The enthalpy and entropy at state 3 are determined from the given pressure and temperature with data from table:

h_{3}=3658.8kJ/kg\\ s_{3}=7.1693kJ/kg

The quality at state 4 is determined from the condition  s_{4} =s_{3} and the entropies of the components at the condenser pressure taken from table:

 q_{4} =\frac{s_{4}-s_{liq50}  }{s_{evap,50} } \\=\frac{7.1693-1.0912}{6.5019}=0.935

The enthalpy at state 4 then is:  

h_{4} =h_{liq50} +q_{4} h_{evap,50}\\ (340.54+0.935*2304.7)kJ/kg\\=2495.43kJ/kg\\

Part A

In the case when the water is in a saturated liquid state at the entrance of the pump the enthalpy and specific volume are determined from A-5 for the given pressure:  

h_{1}=340.54kJ/kg\\ \alpha _{1}=0.00103m^3/kg

The enthalpy at state 2 is determined from an energy balance on the pump:

h_{2} =h_{1} +\alpha _{1}( P_{2}-P_{1}  )

    =346.67 kJ/kg

The thermal efficiency is then determined from the heat input and output in the cycle:  

=1-\frac{q_{out} }{q_{in} } \\=1-\frac{h_{4} -h_{1} }{h_{3} -h_{2}} \\=0.349

Part B  

In the case when the water is at a lower temperature than the saturation temperature at the condenser pressure we look into table and see the water is in a compressed liquid state. Then we take the enthalpy and specific volume for that temperature with data from  and the saturated liquid values:  

h_{1}=293.7kJ/kg\\ \alpha _{1}=0.001023m^3/kg

The enthalpy at state 2 is then determined from an energy balance on the pump:  

h_{2} =h_{1} +\alpha _{1}( P_{2}-P_{1}  )

    =299.79 kJ/kg  

The thermal efficiency in this case then is:  

=1-\frac{q_{out} }{q_{in} } \\=1-\frac{h_{4} -h_{1} }{h_{3} -h_{2}} \\=0.345

What are the systems used to step down energy so that it can safely be delivered to a home or other building for use?.
nekit [7.7K]

Systems such as dams and power plants use turbines and generators to generate electricity along with any other components, which then transfer the energy to our power grid which uses an enormous system of wires used to step down energy so that it can safely be delivered to a home or other building for use.

<h3>What are power plant?</h3>

A power station , also called a power plant and sometimes a power plant , is an industrial facility for the production of electricity. Power plants are usually connected to the power grid.

In case of electrical demand, water is let in from the  elevated tank into the lower tank. It produces electricity as it flows through a turbine, which produces motion and electricity. Thermal power plants produce electricity by converting heat into electricity, mainly through combustion.
