A six-lane divided highway (three lanes in each direction) is on rolling terrain with two access points per mile and has 10- ft

lanes, with a 5-ft shoulder on the right side and a 3-ft shoulder on the left side. The peakhour factor is 0.9, and the directional peak-hour volume is 3500 vehicles per hour. There are 7% single-unit trucks and 3% tractortrailer trucks in the traffic stream. No speed studies are available, but the posted speed limit is 55 mi/h. Determine the level of service.

Answer

given,

6 lanes divided highway 3 lanes in each direction

rolling terrain

lane width = 10'

shoulder on right = 5'

PHF = 0.9

shoulder on the left direction = 3'

peak hour volume = 3500 veh/hr

large truck = 7 %

tractor trailer = 3 %

speed = 55 mi/h

LOS is determined based on V p

10' lane weight ;  f_{Lw}=6.6 mi/h

5' on right   ;    f_{Lc} = 0.4 mi/hr

3' on left   ;      no adjustment

3 lanes in each direction    f n = 3 mi/h

v_p =\dfrac{V}{f_{HV}\times N\times f_p\times PHF}

f_{HV}=\dfrac{1}{1+P_T(E_T-1)+P_R(E_R-1)}

f_{HV}=\dfrac{1}{1+0.08(2.5-1)+0.02(2-1)}

          = 0.877

v_p =\dfrac{3500}{0.877\times 3\times 0.95\times0.9}

       = 1,555 veh/hr/lane

FFS = BFFS - F_{Lw}-F_{Lc}-F_{N}-F_{ID}

      = (55 + 5) - 6.6 - 0.4 -3 -0

      = 50 mi/h

D = \dfrac{V_P}{s}

D = \dfrac{1555}{55} =28.27

level of service is D using speed flow curves and LOS for basic free moving of vehicle

Refrigerant 134a enters the evaporator of a refrigeration system operating at steady state at -16oC and a quality of 20% at a ve
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

mass flow rate = 0.0534 kg/sec

velocity at exit = 29.34 m/sec

Explanation:

From the information given:

Inlet:

Temperature T_1 = -16^0\ C

Quality x_1 = 0.2

Outlet:

Temperature T_2 = -16^0 C

Quality  x_2 = 1

The following data were obtained at saturation properties of R134a at the temperature of -16° C

v_f= 0.7428 \times 10^{-3} \ m^3/kg \\ \\  v_g = 0.1247 \ m^3 /kg

v_1 = v_f + x_1 ( vg - ( v_f)) \\ \\ v_1 = 0.7428 \times 10^{-3} + 0.2 (0.1247 -(0.7428 \times 10^{-3})) \\ \\  v_1 = 0.0255 \ m^3/kg \\ \\ \\  v_2 = v_g = 0.1247 \ m^3/kg

m = \rho_1A_1v_1 = \rho_2A_2v_2 \\ \\  m = \dfrac{1}{0.0255} \times \dfrac{\pi}{4}\times (1.7 \times 10^{-2})^2\times 6  \\ \\ \mathbf{m = 0.0534 \ kg/sec}

\rho_1A_1v_1 = \rho_2A_2v_2 \\ \\ A_1 =A_2  \\ \\  \rho_1v_1 = \rho_2v_2   \\ \\ \implies \dfrac{1}{0.0255} \times6 = \dfrac{1}{0.1247}\times (v_2)\\ \\ \\\mathbf{\\ v_2 = 29.34 \ m/sec}

Compare the use of a low-strength, ductile material (1018 CD) in which the stress-concentration factor can be ignored to a high-
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Step 1 of 3

Case A:

AISI 1018 CD steel,

Fillet radius at wall=0.1 in,

Diameter of bar

From table deterministic ASTM minimum tensile and yield strengths for some hot rolled and cold drawn steels for 1018 CD steel

Tensile strength

Yield strength

The cross section at A experiences maximum bending moment at wall and constant torsion throughout the length. Due to reasonably high length to diameter ratio transverse shear will be very small compared to bending and torsion.

At the critical stress elements on the top and bottom surfaces transverse shear is zero
