A six-lane freeway (three lanes in each direction) with a 5.5% uphill grade 1.5 miles long has 10-ft lanes and obstructions 5 ft

from the right edge. There are zero ramps within three miles upstream of the segment midpoint and one ramp within three miles downstream of the segment midpoint. The traffic stream has a peak hour factor of 0.84, peak-hour volume of 2500 vehicles with 3% RVs, 2% other single unit trucks, and 5% tractor trailer trucks. What is the level of service?
A. LOS A

Ammonia contained in a piston-cylinder assembly, initially saturated vapor at 0o F, undergoes an isothermal process during which

Rudik [331]

ANSWERS:

$-P_{2(a)} =15.6lbf/in^2\\-P_{2(b)} =30.146lbf/in^2\\ T_{2(a)} =0^oF\\T_{2(b)} =0^oF\\x_{2(b)} =49.87percent$

Explanation:

Given:

Piston cylinder assembly which mean that the process is constant pressure process P=C.

<u>AMMONIA </u>

state(1)

saturated vapor $x_{1} =1$

The temperature $T_{1} =0^0 F$

Isothermal process $T=C$

a)

$-V_{2} =2V_{1}$ ( double)

b)

$-V_{2} =.5V_{2}$ (reduced by half)

To find the final state by giving the quality in lbf/in we assume the friction is neglected and the system is in equilibrium.

state(1)

using PVT data for saturated ammonia

$-P_{1} =30.416 lbf/in^2\\-v_{1} =v_{g} =9.11ft^3/lb$

then the state exists in the supper heated region.

a) from standard data

$-v_{1(a)} =2v_{1} =18.22ft^3/lb\\-T_{1} =0^oF$

$at\\P_{x} =14lbf/in^2\\-v_{x} =20.289 ft^3/kg$

$at\\P_{y} =16 lbf/in^2\\-v_{y} =17.701ft^3/kg$

assume linear interpolation

$\frac{P_{x}-P_{2(b)} }{P_{x}- P_{y} } =\frac{v_{x}-v_{1(a)} }{v_{x}-v_{y} }$

$P_{1(b)}=P_{x} -(P_{x} -P_{y} )*\frac{v_{x}- v_{1(b)} }{v_{x}-v_{y} }\\ \\P_{1(b)} =14-(14-16)*\frac{20.289-18.22}{20.289-17.701} =15.6lbf/in^2$

b)

$-v_{2(a)} =2v_{1} =4.555ft^3/lb\\v_{g}$

from standard data

$-v_{f} =0.02419ft^3/kg\\-v_{g} =9.11ft^3/kg\\v_{f}$

then the state exist in the wet zone

$-P_{s} =30.146lbf/in^2\\v_{2(a)} =v_{f} +x(v_{g} -v_{f} )$

$x=\frac{v_{2(a)-v_{f} } }{v_{g} -v_{f} } \\x=\frac{4.555-0.02419}{9.11-0.02419} =49.87%$

A well-insulated, rigid tank has a volume of 1 m3and is initially evacuated. A valve is opened,and the surrounding air enters at

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

0.5 kW

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

Volume of tank = 1 m³

Pressure of air entering tank = 1 bar

Temperature of air = 27°C = 300.15 K

Temperature after heating = 477 °C = 750.15 K

V₂ = 1 m³

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

P₁ = P₂

V₁ = T₁×V₂/T₂ = 300.15 * 1 /750.15 = 0.4 m³

$dQ = m \times c_p \times (T_2 -T_1)$

For ideal gas, $c_p$ = 5/2×R = 5/2*0.287 = 0.7175 kJ

PV = NKT

N = PV/(KT) = 100000×1/(750.15×1.38×10⁻²³)

N = 9.66×10²⁴

Number of moles of air = 9.66×10²⁴/(6.02×10²³) = 16.05 moles

The average mass of one mole of air = 28.8 g

Therefore, the total mass = 28.8*16.05 = 462.135 g = 0.46 kg

∴ dQ = 0.46*0.7175*(750.15 - 300.15) = 149.211 kJ

The power input required = The rate of heat transfer = 149.211/(60*5)

The power input required = 0.49737 kW ≈ 0.5 kW.

A circular bar will be subjected to an axial force (P) of 2000 lbf. The bar will be made of material that has a strength (S) of

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

$n = 2.36$

Explanation:

The stress experimented by the circular bar is:

$\sigma = \left[\frac{2000\, lbf}{\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot (0.5\,in)^{2}}\right]\cdot \left(\frac{1\,kpsi}{1000\,psi} \right)$

$\sigma = 10.186\,kpsi$

The safety factor is:

$n = \frac{24\,kpsi}{10.186\,kpsi}$

$n = 2.36$
