A minor road intersects a major 4-lane divided road with a design speed of 50 mph and a median width of 12 ft. The intersection

is controlled with a stop sign on the minor road. If the design vehicle is a passenger car, determine the minimum sight distance required on the major road that will allow a stopped vehicle on the minor road to safely turn left if the approach grade on the minor road is 5%.

Answer:

minimum sight distance = 699 ft

Explanation:

given data

road lane = 4 divided road

median width = 12 ft

grade road = 5%

solution

we take here time gap factor for minor road vehicle when enter to major road from table

time gap = 8.1 sec

and for median width of 12 ft

time gap = 8.2 + 0.7 ( 1 + $\frac{12}{12}$ )

time gap = 9.5 second

so minimum sight distance will be

minimum sight distance = 1.47 × design speed × time gap

minimum sight distance = 1.47 × 50 × 9.5

minimum sight distance = 699 ft

The heat flux through a 1-mm thick layer of skin is 1.05 x 104 W/m2. The temperature at the inside surface is 37°C and the tempe

Answer:

a) Thermal conductivity of skin: $k_{skin}=1.5W/mK$

b) Temperature of interface: $T_{interface}=35.6\°C$

Heat flux through skin: $\frac{Q}{A}=2100W/m^2$

Explanation:

a)

$k=\frac{QL}{A(T_{2}-T_{1})}$

Where: $k$ is thermal conductivity of a material, $\frac{Q}{A}$ is heat flux through a material, $L$ is the thickness of the material, $T_{1}$ is the temperature on the first side and $T_{2}$ is the temperature on the second side

$k_{skin}=\frac{QL}{A(T_{2}-T_{1})}$

$k_{skin}=\frac{Q}{A}*\frac{L}{(T_{2}-T_{1})}$

$k_{skin}=1.05*10^{4}*\frac{1*10^{-3}}{(37-30)}$

$k_{skin}=1.5W/mK$

b)

$k_{insulation}=\frac{k_{skin}}{2}$

$k_{insulation}=\frac{1.5}{2}$

$k_{insulation}=0.75W/mK$

The heat flux between both surfaces is constant, assuming the temperature is maintained at each surface.

$\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{k(T_{2}-T_{1})}{L}$

$\frac{k_{skin}(T_{skin}-T_{interface})}{L_{skin}}=\frac{k_{insulation}(T_{interface}-T_{insulation})}{L_{insulation}}$

$\frac{1.5*(37-T_{interface})}{0.001}=\frac{0.75*(T_{interface}-30)}{0.002}$

$55500-1500T_{interface}=375T_{interface}-11250$

$1875T_{interface}=66750$

$T_{interface}=35.6\°C$

$\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{k_{skin}(T_{skin}-T_{interface})}{L_{skin}}$

$\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{1.5*(37-35.6)}{0.001}$

$\frac{Q}{A}=2100W/m^2$

aalyn [17]

Answer and Explanation:

clear all; close all;

N=512;

t=(1:N)/N;

fs=1000;

f=(1:N)*fs/N;

x= sin(2*pi*200*t) + sin(2*pi*400*t);

y= sin(2*pi*200*t) + sin(2*pi*900*t);

for n = 1:20

a(n) = (2/N)*sum(x.*(cos(2*pi*n*t)))

b(n) = (2/N)*sum(x.*(sin(2*pi*n*t)))

c(n) = sqrt(a(n).^2+b(n).^2)

theta(n) =-(360/(2*pi))*atan(b(n)./a(n));

end

plot(f(1:20),c(1:20),'rd');

disp([a(1:4),b(1:4),c(1:4),theta(1:4)])
