Answer: 112 + 19.27

Explanation:

Super elevation is an inward transverse slope provided through out the length of the horizontal curve which ends up serving as a counteract to the centrifugal force and checks tendency of overturning. It changes from infinite radius to radius of a transition curve.

Super curve elevation (e) = 4%

4/100= 0.04

e= V^2/gR

Make R the subject of the formula.

egR= V^2

R= V^2/eg

V= 45mph

=45 × 0.44704m/s

=20.1168m/s

g (force due to gravity) =9.81

Therefore,

R= (20.1168)^2/9.81 × 0.04

= 1031.31m

Tangent Length( T) = PI - PC

Tangent Length= 10875 - 10500

=375m

T= R Tan(I/2)

375= 1031.31 × Tan(I/2)

I= 39.96

Also,

L= πRI/180

= 719.27m

Station PT= Stat PC+ L

10500 + 719.27

=11219.27

=112 + 19.27

What are the two types of pumps in compressors?
VMariaS [17]

Answer: The two different types of pumps in compressors are:

 1) Centrifugal Pumps

 2) Reciprocating Pumps

Explanation:

Compressor is defined as a mechanical device which increases the gas pressure by reducing its volume.The main action of a pump is to transport liquids and pressurize and it coverts rotational energy. As, centrifugal pumps are the most common pumps used for transfer of fluids and it works on simple mechanism.

Reciprocating Pumps is used for low volumes of flow at a high pressure. It is the positive displacement pump. As, it works on the principle of pushing of liquid which executes a reciprocating motion in a closed cylinder.
