Two aerial photographs were taken 30 seconds apart over one east-bound lane of l-80 near Grand Island, NE. The following results

were recorded.

Answer:

the average flow (vph) = 222.69 veh/hr.  

The average velocity = 111348 ft/hr.

density = 2 × 10⁻³ veh/ft.

Explanation:

The first thing to do in this particular question is to determine the average velocity.

The average velocity = [ ( 2940 - 2000/30) + ( 3200 - 2300/30) + ( 2400 - 1700/30) + ( 2100 - 1200) + ( 1730 - 600/30) + ( 1000 - 0/30).

The average velocity = [31.33 + 30 + 23.33 + 30 + 37.66 + 33.66]/ 6 = 30.99 ft/sec.

Thus, 30.99 ft/sec × 60 × 60 = 111348 ft/hr.

The next thing to do is to determine the density. therefore, the density = 6/ 3000 = 2 × 10⁻³ veh/ft.  

The average flow (vph) =  111348 ft/hr × 2 × 10⁻³ veh/ft.  = 222.69 veh/ hr.

Also, the space mean speed (mph) over the 3000 ft length of the lane = 6/ [ 1/31.33 + 1/30 + 1/23.33 + 1/30 + 1/37.66 + 1/33.66] = 6/ 0.1977 = 30.34 ft/sec.

Consider air entering a heated duct at P1 = 1 atm and T1 = 288 K. Ignore the effect of friction. Calculate the amount of heat pe
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The solution for the given problem is done below.

Explanation:

M1 = 2.0

\frac{p1}{p*} = 0.3636

\frac{T1}{T*} = 0.5289

\frac{T01}{T0*} = 0.7934

Isentropic Flow Chart:  M1 = 2.0 , \frac{T01}{T1} = 1.8

T1 = \frac{1}{0.7934} (1.8)(288K) = 653.4 K.

In order to choke the flow at the exit (M2=1), the above T0* must be stagnation temperature at the exit.

At the inlet,

T02= \frac{T02}{T1}T1 = (1.8)(288K) = 518.4 K.

Q= Cp(T02-T01) = \frac{1.4(287 J / (Kg.K)}{1.4-1}(653.4-518.4)K = 135.7*10^{3} J/Kg.

SashulF [63]

Answer:

the police officer cruise each streets precisely once and he enters and exit with the same gate.

Explanation:

NB: kindly check below for the attached picture.

The term ''Euler circuit'' can simply be defined as the graph that shows the edge of K once in a finite way by starting and putting a stop to it at the same vertex.

The term "Hamiltonian Circuit" is also known as the Hamiltonian cycle which is all about a one time visit to the vertex.

Here in this question, the door is the vertex and the road is the edge.

The information needed to detemine a Euler circuit and a Hamilton circuit is;

"the police officer cruise each streets precisely once and he enters and exit with the same gate."

Check attachment for each type of circuit and the differences.

Answer:

Explanation:

There are three points in time we need to consider.  At point 0, the mango begins to fall from the tree.  At point 1, the mango reaches the top of the window.  At point 2, the mango reaches the bottom of the window.

We are given the following information:

y₁ = 3 m

y₂ = 3 m − 2.4 m = 0.6 m

t₂ − t₁ = 0.4 s

a = -9.8 m/s²

t₀ = 0 s

v₀ = 0 m/s

We need to find y₀.

Use a constant acceleration equation:

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

Evaluated at point 1:

3 = y₀ + (0) t₁ + ½ (-9.8) t₁²

3 = y₀ − 4.9 t₁²

Evaluated at point 2:

0.6 = y₀ + (0) t₂ + ½ (-9.8) t₂²

0.6 = y₀ − 4.9 t₂²

Solve for y₀ in the first equation and substitute into the second:

y₀ = 3 + 4.9 t₁²

0.6 = (3 + 4.9 t₁²) − 4.9 t₂²

0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (t₁² − t₂²)

We know t₂ = t₁ + 0.4:

0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (t₁² − (t₁ + 0.4)²)

0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (t₁² − (t₁² + 0.8 t₁ + 0.16))

0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (t₁² − t₁² − 0.8 t₁ − 0.16)

0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (-0.8 t₁ − 0.16)

0 = 2.4 − 3.92 t₁ − 0.784

0 = 1.616 − 3.92 t₁

t₁ = 0.412

Now we can plug this into the original equation and find y₀:

3 = y₀ − 4.9 t₁²

3 = y₀ − 4.9 (0.412)²

3 = y₀ − 0.83

y₀ = 3.83

Rounded to two significant figures, the height of the tree is 3.8 meters.

A Carnot refrigeration cycle absorbs heat at -12 °C and rejects it at 40 °C. a)-Calculate the coefficient of performance of this
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

a)COP=5.01

b)W_{in}=2.998 KW

c)COP=6.01

d)Q_R=17.99 KW

Explanation:

Given

T_L= -12°C,T_H=40°C

For refrigeration

  We know that Carnot cycle is an ideal cycle that have all reversible process.

So COP of refrigeration is given as follows

COP=\dfrac{T_L}{T_H-T_L}  ,T in Kelvin.

COP=\dfrac{261}{313-261}

a)COP=5.01

Given that refrigeration effect= 15 KW

We know that  COP=\dfrac{RE}{W_{in}}

RE is the refrigeration effect

So

5.01=\dfrac{15}{W_{in}}

b)W_{in}=2.998 KW

For heat pump

So COP of heat pump is given as follows

COP=\dfrac{T_h}{T_H-T_L}  ,T in Kelvin.

COP=\dfrac{313}{313-261}

c)COP=6.01

In heat pump

Heat rejection at high temperature=heat absorb at  low temperature+work in put

Q_R=Q_A+W_{in}

Given that Q_A=15KW

We know that  COP=\dfrac{Q_R}{W_{in}}

COP=\dfrac{Q_R}{Q_R-Q_A}

6.01=\dfrac{Q_R}{Q_R-15}

d)Q_R=17.99 KW
