A highway reconstruction project is being undertaken to reduce crash rates. The reconstruction involves a major realignment of t

he highway such that a 60mph design speed is attained. At one point on the highway, a 720-ft equal tangent crest vertical curve exists. Measurements show that 3 40 stations from the PVC, the vertical curve offset is 3.5ft. Assess the adequacy of this existing curve in light of the reconstruction design speed of 60mph and, if the existing curve is inadequate, compute a satisfactory curve length.

A large heat pump should upgrade 5 MW of heat at 85°C to be delivered as heat at 150°C. Suppose the actual heat pump has a COP o
AysviL [449]

Answer:

W=2 MW

Explanation:

Given that

COP= 2.5

Heat extracted from 85°C  

Qa= 5 MW

Lets heat supplied at 150°C   = Qr

The power input to heat pump = W

From first law of thermodynamics

Qr= Qa+ W

We know that COP of heat pump given as

COP=\dfrac{Qr}{W}

2.5=\dfrac{5}{W}

2.5=\dfrac{5}{W}

W=2 MW

For Carnot heat pump

COP=\dfrac{T_2}{T_2-T_1}

2.5=\dfrac{T_2}{T_2-(273+85)}

2.5 T₂ -  895= T₂

T₂=596.66 K

T₂=323.6 °C

Consider two Carnot heat engines operating in series. The first engine receives heat from the reservoir at 1400 K and rejects th
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The temperature T= 648.07k

Explanation:

T1=input temperature of the first heat engine =1400k

T=output temperature of the first heat engine and input temperature of the second heat engine= unknown

T3=output temperature of the second heat engine=300k

but carnot efficiency of heat engine =1 - \frac{Tl}{Th} \\

where Th =temperature at which the heat enters the engine

Tl is the  temperature of the environment

since both engines have the same thermal capacities <em>n_{th} </em> therefore n_{th} =n_{th1} =n_{th2}\\n_{th }=1-\frac{T1}{T}=1-\frac{T}{T3}\\ \\= 1-\frac{1400}{T}=1-\frac{T}{300}\\

We have now that

\frac{-1400}{T}+\frac{T}{300}=0\\

multiplying through by T

-1400 + \frac{T^{2} }{300}=0\\

multiplying through by 300

-420000+ T^{2} =0\\T^2 =420000\\\sqrt{T2}=\sqrt{420000}  \\T=648.07k

The temperature T= 648.07k

Design a plan for ""your yard"" (no matter where you live) that will capture and utilize rainwater. You can prepare the plan in
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

<u><em>General Considerations</em></u>

The design of the yard will affect the natural surface and subsurface drainage pattern of a watershed or individual hillslope. Yard drainage design has as its basic objective the reduction or elimination of energy generated by flowing water. The destructive power of flowing water increases exponentially as its velocity increases. Therefore, water must not be allowed to develop sufficient volume or velocity so as to cause excessive wear along ditches, below culverts, or along exposed running surfaces, cuts, or fills.

A yard drainage system must satisfy two main criteria if it is to be effective throughout its design life:

1. It must allow for a minimum of disturbance of the natural drainage pattern.  

2.It must drain surface and subsurface water away from the roadway and dissipate it in a way that prevents excessive collection of water in unstable areas and subsequent downstream erosion
