Answer:

Many would pair the engineering and science behind it together. The sensor requires have a detective system for when cars pass by. It can also cycle the lights (change from red, green, and yellow). Traffic can flow uninterrupted on the main road. So, science is an important part.

When a vehicle on a side road arrives at the intersection, a sensor will detect it and cycle the lights to allow traffic on the side road to pass through. In this way, traffic can flow uninterrupted on the main road unless and until traffic on a side road appears.

Explain the process of energy conversion by describing how energy was converted from the windmill design brief. Discuss the diff

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Wind energy is converted to Mechanical energy which is then converted in to electrical energy

Explanation:

In a wind mill the following energy conversions take place

a) Wind energy is converted into Mechanical energy (rotation of rotor blades)

b) Mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy (by using electric motor)

This electrical energy is then used for transmission through electric lines.

What is the definition of a duty cycle?

ira [324]

Answer:

$D=\frac{PW}{T}*100$

Explanation:

In electrical terms, is the ratio of time in which a load or circuit is ON compared to the time in which the load or circuit is OFF.

The duty cycle or power cycle, is expressed as a percentage of the activation time. For example, a 70% duty cycle is a signal that 70% of the time is activated and the other 30% disabled. Its equation can be expressed as:

$D=\frac{PW}{T}*100$

Where:

$D=Duty\hspace{3}Cycle$

$PW=Pulse\hspace{3}Active\hspace{3}Time$

$T=Period\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}Signal$

Here is a picture that will help you understand these concepts.

An airline ticket counter forecasts that 220 people per hour will need to check in. It takes an average of 2 minutes to service

Nadusha1986 [10]

A) Number of agents required to achieve a wait time of 10 minutes or less = 8 agents

B) The number of agents required on duty to reduce cost = 9 agents

Given data :

Arrival rate of customers ( β ) = 220 per hour

Service rate ( mu ) = 60 minutes / 2 minutes = 30 customer per hour

utilization ( rho ) = 220 / 30 ≈ 7

at least 8 server personnel are required for stability of the queue

A) Determine the number of agents required to achieve a wait time of 10 minutes or less per customer

waiting time = 10 - 2 = 8 minutes

number of customers waiting ( ∝ ) = 7 and required server = 8

assuming Lq = 5.2266

Hence the waiting time in line = Lq / arrival rate

= 5.2266 / 220 = 0.0238 hour

= 0.0238 * 60 = 1.428 minutes

Since the waiting time ( 1.428 minutes ) is less than the original waiting time ( 2 minutes ) the number of agents that will achieve a wait time of 10 minutes or less is = 8 agents

B) Determine the number of ticket agents that should be on duty to minimize cost

salary of ticket agent = £12 per hour

cost of customer waiting in queue = £5 per hour per customer

i) When 8 agents are used

waiting time of customers = 0.0238 * 220 = 5.236

waiting cost for customers = 5.236 * 5 = £26.18

employee cost = 8 * 12 = £96

∴ Total cost = 96 + 26.18

= £ 122.18

ii) When 9 agents are used

waiting time for customers = 0.0074 * 220 = 1.628

Wq = 1.6367 / 220 = 0.0074

waiting cost for customers = 1.6367 * 5 = £ 8.1835

assuming Lq = 1.6367

employee cost = 9 * 12 = £ 108

∴ Total cost = 108 + 8.1835 = £ 116.18

From the calculations in ( i ) and ( ii ) the Ideal number of ticket agents that should be on duty to minimize cost should be 9 agents.

Hence we can conclude that A) Number of agents required to achieve a wait time of 10 minutes or less = 8 agents and The number of agents required on duty to reduce cost = 9 agents.
