A multilane highway (two lanes in each direction) is on level terrain. The free-flow speed has been measured at 45 mi/h. The pea

k-hour directional traffic flow is 1300 vehicles with 8% heavy vehicles. If the peak-hour factor is 0.85, determine the highway's level of service.

Answer:

17.71 veh/mi/ln

Explanation:

Given,

Free Flow Speed, FFS = 45 mph

Number of lanes in each direction = 2

Peak Flow, V = 1300 veh/hr

Peak-hour factor = 0.85

HV = 8 %

Level Terrain

fHV = 1/ (1 + 0.08 (1.5-1)) = 1/1.04 = 0.96

fP = 1.0

Peak Flow Rate, Vp = V / (PHV*n*fHV*fP) = 1300/(0.96*2*0.85*1.0) = 796.57 ~ 797 veh/hr/ln

Vp < 1400

S = FFS = 45 mph

Density = Vp/S = (797) / (45) = 17.71 veh/mi/ln

Density of LOS B should lie between 11 – 18 veh/mi/ln

Saturated water vapor undergoes a throttling process from 1bar to a 0.35bar. What is the change in temperature for this process?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

-25.63°C.

Explanation:

We know that throttling is a constant enthalpy process

      h_1=h_2

From steal table

We know that if we know only one property in side the dome then we will find the other property by using steam property table.

  Temperature at saturation pressure 1 bar is 99.63°C and  Temperature at saturation pressure 0.35 bar is about 74°C .

So from above we can say that change in temperature is -25.63°C.

But there is no any option for that .

A batch of 1000 is split into 10 smaller batches of equal size 100. The processing time of each unit is 2
Vika [28.1K]

The lead time of the actual batch will be in

  • 2950 in minutes

<h3>What is Processing Time?</h3>

This refers to the amount of time which is taken for a processor to run a procedure and return a result.

We can see that a batch of 1000 is split so that they each have 10 smaller batches which has an equal size of 100 each, then if the processing time is 2 mins per machine and the set up time is 30 mins.

Hence, when this batch is processed over a serial line of 5 machines, then the lead time of the actual batch would be 2950 in minutes

Air enters a compressor steadily at the ambient conditions of 100 kPa and 22°C and leaves at 800 kPa. Heat is lost from the comp
telo118 [61]

Answer:

a) 358.8K

b) 181.1 kJ/kg.K

c) 0.0068 kJ/kg.K

Explanation:

Given:

P1 = 100kPa

P2= 800kPa

T1 = 22°C = 22+273 = 295K

q_out = 120 kJ/kg

∆S_air = 0.40 kJ/kg.k

T2 =??

a) Using the formula for change in entropy of air, we have:

∆S_air = c_p In \frac{T_2}{T_1} - Rln \frac{P_2}{P_1}

Let's take gas constant, Cp= 1.005 kJ/kg.K and R = 0.287 kJ/kg.K

Solving, we have:

[/tex] -0.40= (1.005)ln\frac{T_2}{295} ln\frac{800}{100}[/tex]

-0.40= 1.005(ln T_2 - 5.68697)- 0.5968

Solving for T2 we have:

T_2 = 5.8828

Taking the exponential on the equation (both sides), we have:

[/tex] T_2 = e^5^.^8^8^2^8 = 358.8K[/tex]

b) Work input to compressor:

w_in = c_p(T_2 - T_1)+q_out

w_in = 1.005(358.8 - 295)+120

= 184.1 kJ/kg

c) Entropy genered during this process, we use the expression;

Egen = ∆Eair + ∆Es

Where; Egen = generated entropy

∆Eair = Entropy change of air in compressor

∆Es = Entropy change in surrounding.

We need to first find ∆Es, since it is unknown.

Therefore ∆Es = \frac{q_out}{T_1}

\frac{120kJ/kg.k}{295K}

∆Es = 0.4068kJ/kg.k

Hence, entropy generated, Egen will be calculated as:

= -0.40 kJ/kg.K + 0.40608kJ/kg.K

= 0.0068kJ/kg.k

Using an appropriate failure theory, find the factor of safety in each case. State the name of the theory that you are using the theory is max stress theory.

<h3>Wat is the max stress theory?</h3>

The most shear strain concept states that the failure or yielding of a ductile fabric will arise whilst the most shear strain of the fabric equals or exceeds the shear strain fee at yield factor withinside the uniaxial tensile test.”

Stress states at various critical locations are f= 2.662.

Technician A says the final drive assembly always has a gear ratio of 1:1. Technician B says the final drive assembly provides f
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Technician B only is correct

Explanation:

The last stage of gears found between the vehicle transmission system and the wheels is the final drive ratio. The function of the final drive gear assembly is to enable a gear reduction control stage to reduce the rotation per minute and increase the wheel torque, such that the vehicle performance can be adjusted and the final gear ratio can be between 3:1 and 4.5:1 not 1:1

Therefore, technician B only is correct
