A developer has requested permission to build a large retail store at a location adjacent to the intersection of an undivided fo

ur-lane major road and a two-lane minor road. Traffic on the minor road is controlled by a stop sign. The speed limits are 35 and 50 mi/h on the minor and major roads, respectively. The building is to be located at a distance of 65 ft from the near lane of one of the approaches of the minor road. Determine the minimum sight distance required on the major road for the stopped vehicle on the minor road to safely turn right onto the major road. Design vehicle is a single-unit truck. Lanes on the major road are 12 ft wide. Hint: Adjust for the number of lanes. Given: Time gap for single-unit truck for Right turn = 8.5 sec Time adjustment for number of lanes = 0.7 sec

Answer:

676 ft

Explanation:

Minimum sight distance, d_min

d_min = 1.47 * v_max * t_total where v_max is maximum velocity in mi/h, t_total is total time

v_max is given as 50 mi/h

t_total is sum of time for right-turn and adjustment time=8.5+0.7=9.2 seconds

Substituting these figures we obtain d_min=1.47*50*9.2=676.2 ft

For practical purposes, this distance is taken as 676 ft

What does a peak flow meter allow you to assess?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

  peak flow and any engineering considerations related thereto

Explanation:

It should be no surprise that a peak flow meter will report peak flow, sometimes with important maximum-value, time-constant, or bandwidth limitations. There are many engineering issues related to flow rates. A peak flow meter can allow you to assess those issues with respect to the flows actually encountered.

Peak flow can allow you to assess adequacy of flow and whether there may be blockages or impediments to flow that reduce peak levels below expected values. An appropriate peak flow meter can help you assess the length of time that peak flow can be maintained, and whether that delivers sufficient volume.

It can also allow you to assess whether appropriate accommodation is made for unexpectedly high flow rates. (Are buffers or overflow tanks of sufficient size? Is there adequate protection against possible erosion? Is there adequate support where flow changes direction?)

The concentration of carbon monoxide (co) in an exhaust gas is 1x10^4 ppmv. what is the concentration in mg/m^3 at 25 and 1 atm
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

1.1451 x 104 (11451.13)mg/m3

Explanation:

1 ppmv is defined as one volume of a contaminant or solid(CO)(mL) in 1 x 106 volume of solvent/water.

1ppmv = 1mL/m3

Concentration in mg/m3 = volume in ppm x molecular weight x pressure(kPa)/( gas constant x temperature(K)

Molecular weight of CO = 12 + 16

= 28g/mol

Temperature = 273.15 + 25

= 298.15K

Pressure = 1 x 101.325kPa

= 101.325kPa

Ppmv = 1 x 10-4ppmv

Gas constant, R = 8.3144 L.kPa/mol.K

Concentration in mg/m3 = (1 x 104 * 28 * 101.325)/(8.3144 * 298)

= 1.1451 x 104mg/m3

= 11451.13 mg/m3

A system that is not influence anyway by the surroundings is called a)- control mass system b)- Isothermal system c)-- isolated
NARA [144]

Answer:

Isolated system

Explanation:

By definition of a closed system it means that a system that does not interact with it's surroundings in any manner

The other options are explained as under:

Isothermal system : It is a system that does not allow it's temperature to change

Control Mass system : It is a system whose mass remains conserved which means the mass entering the system equals the mass leaving the system

Open system: It is a system that allows transfer of mass and energy across it's boundary without any opposition i.e freely.

Work done by a system during a process can be considered as a property of the system. a)True b) False
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

b) False

Explanation:

Work done by a system is not a property because it doesn't define the system's state. Work is mechanical energy exchanged across the system's boundaries.
