Answer:

The Question is incomplete, the complete question is as follows:

<em>Consider the freeway in Problem 1. At one point along this freeway there is a 4% upgrade with a directional hourly traffic volume of 5,435 vehicles. If all other conditions are as described in Problem 1, how long can this grade be without the freeway LOS dropping to F? </em>

A six-lane rural freeway (three lanes in each direction) has regular weekday users and currently operates at maximum LOS C conditions. The base free-flow speed is 65 mi/h, lanes are 11 ft wide, the right-side shoulder is 4 ft wide, and the interchange density is 0.25 per mile. The highway is one rolling terrain with 10% large trucks and buses (no recreational vehicles), and the peak-hour factor is 0.90. Determine the hourly volume for these conditions

Explanation:

<em>Make the assumption Base continuous flow velocity (BFFS)= 65 mph. </em>

Pitch width= 11 ft.

Decrease in lane width pace,fLW= 1.9 mph.

Complete Lateral clearance= 4 ft. Lateral clearance speed reduction, fLC= 0.8 mph.

Complete Width of the Ramp= 0.25 mile.

Velocity reduction proportional to the ramp height, f ID= 0 mph.

Assume lane number to be = 3.

Reduction in speed corresponding to no. of lanes, fN = 3 mph

Free Flow Speed (FFS) = BFFS – fLW – fLC – fN – fID = 65 – 1.9 – 0.8 – 3 – 0 = 59.3 mph

Peak Flow, V veh/hr

Peak-hour factor = 0.90

Trucks = 10%

Rolling Terrain

fHV = 1/ (1 + 0.10 (2.5-1)) = 1/1.15 = 0.8696

fP = 1.0

Peak Flow Rate, Vp = V / (PHV*n*fHV*fP) = V/ (0.90*3*0.8696*1.0) = 0.426V veh/hr/ln

Average speed of vehicles, S = FFS = 59.3 mph

Level of service C

Density of LOS C lies between 18 - 25 veh/mi/ln

Maximum density = 25 veh/mi/ln

Density = V​​​​​​p /S = 25

0.426V = 25 * 59.3

V = 3480 veh/hr

b) V = 5435 veh/hr

LOS dropping to F

Max density = 45 veh/mi/ln

Density = Vp/S = 45

V​​​​​​p = 45 * 59.3 = 2668.5 veh/hr/ln

V/(PHF * n * f​​​​​​HV * f​​​​​​P​​​) = 2668.5

f​​​​​​HV = 5435/(0.9*3*2668.5*1.0) = 0.754

1/(1+0.10 (E​​​​​​T -1)) = 0.754

E​​​​​​T = 4.26 ~ 3.5

<em>For 4% upgrade and 10% trucks with E​​​​​​T = 3.5, length of the grade is Greater than 1.0 miles</em>

A 5-mm-thick stainless steel strip (k = 21 W/m•K, rho = 8000 kg/m3, and cp = 570 J/kg•K) is being heat treated as it moves throu
Drupady [299]

Answer:

The temperature of the strip as it exits the furnace is 819.15 °C

Explanation:

The characteristic length of the strip is given by;

L_c = \frac{V}{A} = \frac{LA}{2A} = \frac{5*10^{-3}}{2} = 0.0025 \ m

The Biot number is given as;

B_i = \frac{h L_c}{k}\\\\B_i = \frac{80*0.0025}{21} \\\\B_i = 0.00952

B_i < 0.1,  thus apply lumped system approximation to determine the constant time for the process;

\tau = \frac{\rho C_p V}{hA_s} = \frac{\rho C_p L_c}{h}\\\\\tau = \frac{8000* 570* 0.0025}{80}\\\\\tau = 142.5 s

The time for the heating process is given as;

t = \frac{d}{V} \\\\t = \frac{3 \ m}{0.01 \ m/s} = 300 s

Apply the lumped system approximation relation to determine the temperature of the strip as it exits the furnace;

T(t) = T_{ \infty} + (T_i -T_{\infty})e^{-t/ \tau}\\\\T(t) = 930 + (20 -930)e^{-300/ 142.5}\\\\T(t) = 930 + (-110.85)\\\\T_{(t)} = 819.15 \ ^0 C

Therefore, the temperature of the strip as it exits the furnace is 819.15 °C

An old refrigerator consumes 247 W of power. Assuming that the refrigerator operates for 19 hours everyday, what is the annual o
german

Answer:

The annual operating cost of the refrigerator is $102.78.

Explanation:

Power consumed by the refrigerator = 247 W = 247/1000 = 0.247 kW

Daily operation of the refrigerator = 19 hours

Annual operation of the refrigerator = 365 × 19 = 6,935 hours

Annual energy consumed = 0.247 kW × 6,935 hours = 1712.945 kWh

1 kWh of electricity cost $0.06

1712.945 kWh will cost 1712.945 × $0.06 = $102.78

Annual operating cost = $102.78
