A section of highway has a free-flow speed of 55 mph and a capacity of 3300 veh/hr. In a given hour, 2100 vehicles were counted

at a specified point along this highway section. If the linear speed density relationship applies, what would you estimate the space-mean speed of the vehicles to be?

Answer:

Space mean speed = 44 mi/h

Explanation:

Using Greenshield's linear model

q = Uf ( D - D^{2}/Dj )

qcap = capacity flow that gives Dcap

Dcap = Dj/2

qcap = Uf. Dj/4

Where

U = space mean speed

Uf =  free flow speed

D = density

Dj = jam density

now,

Dj = 4 × 3300/55

    = 240v/h

q = Dj ( U - U^{2}/Uf)

2100 = 240 ( U - U^{2}/55)

Solve for U

U = 44m/h

A heat engine operates between a source at 477°C and a sink at 27°C. If heat is supplied to the heat engine at a steady rate of
lara [203]

Answer:

T_C = 27+273.15 = 300.15 K

T_H = 477+273.15 = 750.15 K

And replacing in the Carnot efficiency we got:

e= 1- \frac{300.15}{750.15}= 0.59988 = 59.98 \%

W_{max}= e* Q_H = 0.59988 * 65000 \frac{KJ}{min}= 38992.2 \frac{KJ}{min}

Explanation:

For this case we can use the fact that the maximum thermal efficiency for a heat engine between two temperatures are given by the Carnot efficiency:

e = 1 -frac{T_C}{T_H}

We have on this case after convert the temperatures in kelvin this:

T_C = 27+273.15 = 300.15 K

T_H = 477+273.15 = 750.15 K

And replacing in the Carnot efficiency we got:

e= 1- \frac{300.15}{750.15}= 0.59988 = 59.98 \%

And the maximum power output on this case would be defined as:

W_{max}= e* Q_H = 0.59988 * 65000 \frac{KJ}{min}= 38992.2 \frac{KJ}{min}

Where Q_H represent the heat associated to the deposit with higher temperature.

Is CO, an air pollutant? How does it differ from other emissions resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels?
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Explanation:

CO, carbon monoxide is a toxic gas. It casues asphixiation on people and animals by interfering with hemoglobin, not allowing blood to transport oxygen to the cells in the body.

The normal emissions resulting from the combustion  of fussil fuels are CO2 (carbon dioxide) and H2O (water). Carbon monoxide is formed by an incomplete combustion of fossil fuels or carbon containing fuels in general, this not only produces toxic gas, but also is an inefficient combustion that wastes energy.

Which crystal system(s) listed below has (have) the following relationship for the unit cell edge lengths?
lianna [129]

Answer:

Both B and G ( Hexagonal and Tetragonal )

Explanation:

The crystals system listed below has the following relationship for the unit cell edge lengths; a = b ≠ c ( hexagonal and Tetragonal )

hexagonal ; represents  a crystal system  which has three equal axes that have an angle of 60⁰ between them while Tetragonal denotes crystals that have  three axes which have only two of its axes equal in length.

1. Calculate the battery life in years when a pacemaker has the following characteristics: Battery Ampere-hours = 1.5 Pulse volt
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

battery life in year = 9 years and 48 days

Explanation:

given data

Battery Ampere-hours = 1.5

Pulse voltage = 2 V

Pulse width = 1.5 m sec

Pulse time period = 1 sec

Electrode heart resistance = 150 Ω

Current drain on the battery = 1.25 µA

to find out

battery life in years

solution

we get first here duty cycle that is express as

duty cycle = \frac{width}{period}      ...............1

duty cycle = 1.5 × 10^{-3}

and applied voltage will be

applied voltage = duty energy × voltage    ...........2

applied voltage = 1.5 × 10^{-3} × 2

applied voltage = 3 mV

so current will be

current = \frac{applied\ voltage}{resistance}   ................3

current = \frac{3}{150}

current = 20 µA

so net current will be

net current = 20 - 1.25

net current = 18.75 µA

so battery life will be

battery life = \frac{1.5}{18.75*10^{-6}}

battery life = 80000 hours

battery life in year = \frac{80000}{8760}

battery life in year = 9.13 years

battery life in year = 9 years and 48 days
