A six- lane freeway ( three lanes in each direction) in a scenic area has a measured free- flow speed of 55 mi/ h. The peak- hou

r factor is 0.80, and there are 8% large trucks and buses and 6% recreational vehicles in the traffic stream. One upgrade is 5% and 0.5 mi long. An analyst has determined that the freeway is operating at capacity on this upgrade during the peak hour. If the peak- hour traffic volume is 3900 vehicles, what value for the driver population factor was used?

Answer:

0.867

Explanation:

The driver population factor (f_{p})can be estimated using the equation below:

f_{p} = \frac{V}{PHF*N*f_{HV}*v_{p}}

The value of the heavy vehicle factor (f_{HV}) is determined below:

The values of the E_{T} = 2 and E_{R} = 3 are gotten from the tables for the RVs, trucks and buses upgrades for passenger-car equivalents. Therefore:

f_{HV} = 1/[1+0.08(2-1)+0.06(3-1)] = 1/[1+0.08+0.12] = 1/1.2 = 0.833

Furthermore, the vp is taken as 2250 pc/(h*In) from the table of LOS criteria for lane freeway using the 15 minutes flow rate. Therefore:

f_{p} = 3900/[0.8*3*0.833*2250] = 3900/4498.2 = 0.867

ohaa [14]

Answer:

T = 15 kN

F = 23.33 kN

Explanation:

Given the data in the question,

We apply the impulse momentum principle on the total system,

mv₁ + ∑\int\limits^{t2}_{t1} {Fx} \, dt = mv₂

we substitute

[50 + 3(30)]×10³ × 0 + FΔt = [50 + 3(30)]×10³ ×  ( 45 × 1000 / 3600 )  

F( 75 - 0 ) =  1.75 × 10⁶

The resultant frictional tractive force F is will then be;

F =  1.75 × 10⁶ / 75

F = 23333.33 N

F = 23.33 kN

Applying the impulse momentum principle on the three cars;

mv₁ + ∑\int\limits^{t2}_{t1} {Fx} \, dt = mv₂

[3(30)]×10³ × 0 + FΔt = [3(30)]×10³ ×  ( 45 × 1000 / 3600 )  

F(75-0) = 1.125 × 10⁶

The force T developed is then;

T =  1.125 × 10⁶ / 75

T = 15000 N

T = 15 kN

Calculate the rate at which body heat is conducted through the clothing of a skier in a steady- state process, given the followi
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

230.4W

Explanation:

Heat transfer by conduction consists of the transport of energy in the form of heat through solids, in this case a jacket.

the equation is as follows

Q=\frac{KA(T2-T1)}{L} \\

Where

Q=heat

k=conductivity=0.04

A=Area=1.8m^2

T2=33C

T1=1C

L=thickness=1cm=0.01mQ=\frac{(0.04)(1.8m^2)(33-1)}{0.01m}

Q=230.4W

the skier loses heat at the rate of 230.4W

State 4:

Throttling process  h_{4}=h_{3}=71.33 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kg}

(a)

Magnitude of compressor power input

\dot{w}_{c}=\dot{m}\left(h_{2}-h_{1}\right)=\left(8 \cdot 5 \frac{\mathrm{kg}}{\min } \times \frac{1 \mathrm{min}}{\csc }\right)(262.78-234 \cdot 45)\frac{kj}{kg}

w_{c}=4 \cdot 013 \mathrm{kw}

(b)

Refrigerator capacity

Q_{i n}=\dot{m}\left(h_{1}-h_{4}\right)=\left(\frac{g \cdot s}{60} k_{0} / s\right) \times(234 \cdot 45-71 \cdot 33) \frac{k J}{k_{8}}

Q_{i n}=23 \cdot 108 \mathrm{kW}\\1 ton of retregiration =3.51 k \omega

(c)

Cop:

\beta=\frac{\left(h_{1}-h_{4}\right)}{\left(h_{2}-h_{1}\right)}=\frac{Q_{i n}}{\omega_{c}}=\frac{23 \cdot 108}{4 \cdot 013}

\beta=5 \cdot 758

Find the mechanical average of a wheel axle System of the wheel has a radius of 1.5 feet in the accident has a radius of 6 inche
kvasek [131]

Answer:

Mechanical average of a wheel = 3

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of wheel = 1.5 ft = 1.5 x 12 = 18 inches

Radius of axle = 6 inches

Find:

Mechanical average of a wheel

Computation:

Mechanical average of a wheel = Radius of wheel / Radius of axle

Mechanical average of a wheel = 18 / 6

Mechanical average of a wheel = 3
