A railroad runs form city A to city B, a distance of 800km, through mountainous terrain. The present one-way travel time (includ

ing time at intermediate yards) is 20 hours, and the rail freight rate is $20 per ton. There is a truck service that competes with the railroad, running over a roughly parallel road for approximately the same distance, at an average speed of 48km per hour and a rate of $30 per ton. A new highway is planned to replace the existing roads; it is expected that most of the traffic will be trucks (auto usage is expected to be negligible). The performance function of the new facility is t_T = t_0 + bV_T, where V_T is the flow in trucks per hour, t_0 = 10 hours, b = 0.08 hour per truck per hour. The railroad's estimate of the demand function is: V_T/V_R = a_0(t_r/t_R)^a_1 (c_T/c_R)^a_2 where t_T and t_R are the trip times (in hours) by truck and rail, respectively, c_T and c_R are the corresponding rates, V_T and V_R are the corresponding flows and a_0, a_1 and a_2 are parameters. The total demand is likely to remain constant at V_TOT = 200 tons per hour. The rail system is utilized at only a fraction of capacity, so its performance function is flat (travel time is constant, independent of volume). If a_0 = 1, a_1 = -1 and a_2 = -2, find the present flows of freight by truck and rail. Make an estimate of the equilibrium flows if the new highway were built. With the new highway built, what would the equilibrium flow be in each of the following two cases: if the railroad dropped its rate to $15 per ton? if truckers were taxed $5 per ton to help pay for the new highway?

The pressure distribution over a section of a two-dimensional wing at 4 degrees of incidence may be approximated as follows: Upp
Aliun [14]

Answer:

The lift coefficient is 0.3192 while that of the moment about the leading edge is-0.1306.

Explanation:

The Upper Surface Cp is given as

Cp_u=-0.8 *0.6 +0.1 \int\limits^1_{0.6} \, dx =-0.8*0.6+0.4*0.1

The Lower Surface Cp is given as

Cp_l=-0.4 *0.6 +0.1 \int\limits^1_{0.6} \, dx =-0.4*0.6+0.4*0.1

The difference of the Cp over the airfoil is given as

\Delta Cp=Cp_l-Cp_u\\\Delta Cp=-0.4*0.6+0.4*0.1-(-0.8*0.6-0.4*0.1)\\\Delta Cp=-0.4*0.6+0.4*0.1+0.8*0.6+0.4*0.1\\\Delta Cp=0.4*0.6+0.4*0.2\\\Delta Cp=0.32

Now the Lift Coefficient is given as

C_L=\Delta C_p cos(\alpha_i)\\C_L=0.32\times cos(4*\frac{\pi}{180})\\C_L=0.3192

Now the coefficient of moment about the leading edge is given as

C_M=-0.3*0.4*0.6-(0.6+\dfrac{0.4}{3})*0.2*0.4\\C_M=-0.1306

So the lift coefficient is 0.3192 while that of the moment about the leading edge is-0.1306.

A geothermal heat pump absorbs 15 KJ/s of heat from the Earth 15 m below a house. This heat pump uses a 7.45 kJ/s compressor.
Oxana [17]

Answer:

COP of heat pump=3.013

COP of cycle=1.124

Explanation

W = Q2 - Q1 ----- equation 1

W = work done

Q2 = final energy

Q1 = initial energy

A) calculate the COP of the heat pump

COP =Q2/W

from equation 1

Q2 = Q1 + W = 15 + 7.45 = 22.45 KW

therefore COP =22.45/7.45  = 3.013

B) COP when cycle is reversed

COP = Q1/W

from equation 1

Q1 + W = Q2 ------ equation 2

Q2 = 15 Btu/s = 15 * 1.055 = 15.825 KW therefore from equation 2

Q1 = 8.375 KW

COP =8.375/7.45   = 1.124
