A horizontal curve on a two-lane road is designed with a 2,300-ft radius, 12-ft lanes, and a 65-mph design speed. Determine the

distance that must be cleared from the inside edge of the inside lane to provide sufficient sight distance. Also determine the superelevation rate for the curve.

Answer:

distance = 22.57 ft

superelevation rate = 2%

Explanation:

given data

radius = 2,300-ft

lanes width = 12-ft

no of lane = 2

design speed = 65-mph

solution

we get here sufficient sight distance SSD that is express as

SSD = 1.47 ut + $\frac{u^2}{30(\frac{a}{g}\pm G)}$ ..............1

here u is speed and t is reaction time i.e 2.5 second and a is here deceleration rate i.e 11.2 ft/s² and g is gravitational force i.e 32.2 ft/s² and G is gradient i.e 0 here

so put here value and we get

SSD = 1.47 × 65 ×2.5 + $\frac{65^2}{30(\frac{11.2}{32.2}\pm 0)}$

solve it we get

SSD = 644 ft

so here minimum distance clear from the inside edge of the inside lane is

Ms = Rv ( 1 - $cos (\frac{28.65 SSD}{Rv})$ ) .....................2

here Rv is = R - one lane width

Rv = 2300 - 6 = 2294 ft

put value in equation 2 we get

Ms = 2294 ( 1 - $cos (\frac{28.65 \times 664}{2294})$ )

solve it we get

Ms = 22.57 ft

and

superelevation rate for the curve will be here as

R = $\frac{u^2}{15(e+f)}$ ..................3

here f is coefficient of friction that is 0.10

put here value and we get e

2300 = $\frac{65^2}{15(e+0.10)}$

solve it we get

e = 2%

Cool water at 15°C is throttled from 5(atm) to 1(atm), as in a kitchen faucet. What is the temperature change of the water? What

Tresset [83]

Answer:

the lost work per kilogram of water for this everyday household happening = 0.413 kJ/kg

Explanation:

Given that:

Initial Temperature $T_1$ = 15°C

Initial Pressure $P_1$ = 5 atm

Final Pressure $P_2$ = 1 atm

Data obtain from steam tables of saturated water at 15°C are as follows:

Specific volume v = 1.001 cm³/gm

The change in temperature = 2°C

Specific heat of water = 4.19 J/gm.K

volume expansivity β = 1.5 × 10⁻⁴ K⁻¹

The expression to determine the change in temperature can be given as :

$\delta \ T = \frac{-V (1- \beta \ T}{C_p} * \delta \ P ( \frac{1}{9.87} \ \frac{J}{cm^3/atm})$ $\delta \ T = \frac{-1.001 \frac{cm^3}{gm} (1- 1.5*10^{-4} \ K^{-1} )*2}{4.19 \ \frac{J}{gm.K}} *(5-1)atm ( \frac{1}{9.87} \ \frac{J}{cm^3/atm})$

Δ T = 0.093 K

Now; we can calculate the lost work bt the formula:

$W_{lost} = T_{surr} *S$

where ;

$T_{surr}$ is the temperature of the surrounding. = 20°C = (20+273.15)K = 293.15 K

From above the change in entropy is:

$\delta \ S = C_p \ In (\frac{T+ \delta \ T }{T}) * \beta V \delta P$

$\delta \ S = 4.19* \ In (\frac{288.15+0.093 }{288.15}) - 1.5*10^{-4} * 1.001 (5-1)* (\frac{1}{9.87})$

$\delta \ S =1.408*10^{-3} \ J/gm.K$

$W_{lost} = T_{surr} *S$

$W_{lost} = 293.15* 1.408*10^{-3} \ J/gm.K$

$W_{lost} = 0.413 \ kJ/kg$

Thus, the lost work per kilogram of water for this everyday household happening = 0.413 kJ/kg

CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME AND ANSWER AND EXPLANTION FOR ALL THESE QUESTIONS PLEASE, I AM STRUGGLING

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

13.) 44V

14.) 66V

15.) 9A

16.) 12V

Explanation:

Concepts you need to know:

1. Resistors in series can be combined by summing up their values.

2. The current always stays the same when the resistors are in series.

3. Ohms Law: $V = IR$

13.) We know that the resistors are in series so we can combine them into a single big resistor. We got R₄ = R₃+R₂+R₁ = 2+4+5 = 11Ω.

We also know that current is the same in a series of resistors, so there's 4A going through the entire circuit.

Using ohm's law, we can calculate V = IR = (4)(11) = 44V

14.) Same explanation as part (13). Except now the current is I=6A. All we have to do is to replace the previous I=4 to I=6.

V = IR = (6)(11) = 66V

15.) Again, we know that current is the same when resistors are in series. So if you can find the current through R1 then that's the same current throughout the entire circuit.

We're given E₁=18V, so...

I = V/R = E₁/R₁ = 18/2 = 9A

this means 9A will also flow through R₃.

16.) Same concept as part (15). We know that E₃=15V, so lets find the current.

I = V/R = E₃/R₃ = 15/5 = 3A

Since current is same throughout the circuit, I₁=3A as well. Use this to calculate the voltage through R₁.

V = IR = I₁R₁ = (3)(2) = 6V

Air at 2.5 bar, 400 K is extracted from a main jet engine compressor for cabin cooling. The extracted air enters a heat exchange

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

a) Power developed by the turbine = 132.89 kW

b) magnitude of the rate of heat transfer from the air to the ambient, in kw = 251.25 kW

Explanation:

b) The process is a constant pressure process (Isobaric process)

The constant pressure specific heat of air, $c_{p} = 1.005 kJ/kg -K$

Specific heat ratio for air, $\gamma = 1.4$

The mass flow rate of air, $\dot{m} = 2.5 kg/s$

P₁ = 2.5 bar, T₁ = 400 K

P₂ = 2.5 bar, T₂ = 300 K

Using the steady flow energy equation:

$Q_{1-2} = \dot{m} c_{p} (T_{2} - T_{1} \\Q_{1-2} = 2.5 * 1.005 * (300 - 400)\\Q_{1-2} = -251.25 kW$

Therefore, the magnitude of the rate of heat transfer from the air to the ambient, in kw, $Q_{1-2} = 251.25 kW$

a) For the isentropic process:

Power developed by the turbine is given by the relation $\dot{W} = \dot{M} c_{p} (T_{2} - T_{3})$

Isentropic efficiency, $\eta_{t} = 80%$

P₂ = 2.5 bar, T₂ = 300 K

P₃ = 1 bar, $T_{3s}$ = ? where $T_{3s}$ is the isentropic temperature at 100% efficiency

The isentropic relation is given by:

$\frac{T_{3s} }{T_{2} } = (\frac{P_{3} }{P_{2} }) ^{\frac{\gamma - 1}{\gamma} } \\\frac{T_{3s} }{300 } = (\frac{1 }{2.5 }) ^{\frac{1.4 - 1}{1.4 }$

$T_{3s} = 230.9 K$

To get the temperature at 80% efficiency, we will use the relation:

$\eta_{t} = \frac{T_{2} - T_{3} }{T_{2} - T_{3s} } \\0.8= \frac{300 - T_{3} }{300 - 230.9 }$

T₃ = 244.72 K

Power developed by the turbine is given by the relation:

$\dot{W} = \dot{M} c_{p} (T_{2} - T_{3})\\ \dot{W} = 2.5 * 1.005* (300-244.72)\\ \dot{W} = 138.89 kW$
