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>

Compare and contrast the different forms of energy that are represented below:
Kitty [74]

Explanation:

1) Wind energy is generated through a wind turbine. When wind passes through the blades of wind mill, the blades of the wind mill tend to rotate. Due to the spinning of the rotor across the turbine, the kinetic energy from the wind is converted to electrical energy

2) Incase of wind energy, the consumption gets higher when there is more wind and would be zero incase of no movement of blades.

Incase of hydroelectric power, the generation is rather stable and consumption depends on the usage of power from the consumers

Incase of gasoline generator, the generation is also stable subject to availability of gasoline and consumption again depends on the usage of power from the consumers

3) Pros of Hydroelectric power

Cost of electricity generation is less

Can produce green energy

Produce mass volume of electricity

Cons of Hydroelectric power

Requires massive initial investement

Can be installed on certain demographical area

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

850.8480103 feet

Explanation:

First you take the diameter and find the circumference, which is (2)(pi)(r) plug in your r which is 26/2= 13 so 2(13)(pi) and multiply taht by 125 after that take your answer and divide by 12which is 850.8480103

A boiler is used to heat steam at a brewery to be used in various applications such as heating water to brew the beer and saniti
Natalija [7]

Answer:

net boiler heat = 301.94 kW

Explanation:

given data

saturated steam = 6.0 bars

temperature = 18°C

flow rate = 115 m³/h = 0.03194 m³/s

heat use by boiler = 90 %

to find out

rate of heat does the boiler output

solution

we can say saturated steam is produce at 6 bar from liquid water 18°C

we know at 6 bar from steam table

hg = 2756 kJ/kg

and

enthalpy of water at 18°C

hf = 75.64 kJ/kg

so heat required for 1 kg is

=hg - hf

= 2680.36 kJ/kg

and

from steam table specific volume of saturated steam at 6 bar is 0.315 m³/kg

so here mass flow rate is

mass flow rate = \frac{0.03194}{0.315}

mass flow rate m = 0.10139 kg/s

so heat required is

H = h × m  

here h is heat required and m is mass flow rate

H = 2680.36  × 0.10139

H =  271.75 kJ/s = 271.75 kW

now 90 % of boiler heat is used for generate saturated stream

so net boiler heat = \frac{H}{0.90}

net boiler heat = \frac{271.75}{0.90}

net boiler heat = 301.94 kW
