Two routes connect an origin and a destination. Routes 1 and 2 have performance functions t1 = 2 + X1 and t2 = 1 + X2, where the

t's are in minutes and the x's are in thousands of vehicles per hour. The travel times on the routes are known to be in user equilibrium. If an observation for route 1 finds that the gaps between 30% of the vehicles are less than 6 seconds. Estimate the volume and average travel times for the two routes

Solution :

Given

$t_1=2+x_1$

$t_2=1+x_2$

Now,

$$P(h$

$0.4=1-P(h \geq5)$

$0.6=P(h \geq5)$

$0.6= e^{\frac{-x_1 5}{3600}}$

Therefore, $x_1=368 \ veh/h$

$=\frac{368}{1000} = 0.368$

Given, $t_1=2+x_1$

= 2 + 0.368

= 2.368 min

At user equilibrium, $t_2=t_1$

∴ $t_2$ = 2.368 min

$t_2=1+x_2$

$2.368=1+x_2$

$x_2 = 1.368$

$x_2 = 1.368 \times 1000$

= 1368 veh/h

An aluminum block weighing 28 kg initially at 140°C is brought into contact with a block of iron weighing 36 kg at 60°C in an in

Anika [276]

Answer:

Equilibrium Temperature is 382.71 K

Total entropy is 0.228 kJ/K

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the Aluminium block, M = 28 kg

Initial temperature of aluminium, $T_{a} = 140^{\circ}C$ = 273 + 140 = 413 K

Mass of Iron block, m = 36 kg

Temperature for iron block, $T_{i} = 60^{\circ}C$ = 273 + 60 = 333 K

At 400 k

Specific heat of Aluminium, $C_{p} = 0.949\ kJ/kgK$

At room temperature

Specific heat of iron, $C_{p} = 0.45\ kJ/kgK$

Now,

To calculate the final equilibrium temperature:

Amount of heat loss by Aluminium = Amount of heat gain by Iron

$MC_{p}\Delta T = mC_{p}\Delta T$

$28\times 0.949(140 - T_{e}) = 36\times 0.45(T_{e} - 60)$

Thus

$T_{e} = 109.71^{\circ}C$ = 273 + 109.71 = 382.71 K

where

$T_{e}$ = Equilibrium temperature

Now,

To calculate the changer in entropy:

$\Delta s = \Delta s_{a} + \Delta s_{i}$

Now,

For Aluminium:

$\Delta s_{a} = MC_{p}ln\frac{T_{e}}{T_{i}}$

$\Delta s_{a} = 28\times 0.949\times ln\frac{382.71}{413} = - 2.025\ kJ/K$

For Iron:

$\Delta s_{i} = mC_{i}ln\frac{T_{e}}{T_{i}}$

$\Delta s_{a} = 36\times 0.45\times ln\frac{382.71}{333} = 2.253\ kJ/K$

Thus

$\Delta s =-2.025 + 2.253 = 0.228\ kJ/K$

There are four distinct events that occur in the Carnot cycle. Name the events and describe each one.

OLEGan [10]

Answer and Explanation:

There four events or stages of reversible nature in a Carnot cycle are:

1. Isothermal expansion of gas

2. Adiabatic expansion

3. Isothermal compression of gas

4.Adiabatic compression of gas

All these 4 processes are reversible processes.

1. A reversible Isothermal expansion of gas takes place in Carnot cycle where an ideal gas absorbs or intake certain quantity of heat from a heat reservoir or source at an elevated temperature which results in the expansion of gas and work is done on the surroundings.

2. A reversible expansion of gas adiabatically takes place in Carnot cycle in an environment with thermal insulation where the gas expand and work is done on the surrounding which results in the lowering of the temperature of the system.

3. A reversible compression of gas isothermally takes place such that the work is done on the system by the surrounding resulting in heat loss.

4. A reversible compression of gas adiabatically, takes place in an environment with thermal insulation and the work is done continuously on the system by the surroundings resulting in the rise in temperature.

Water flows with an average speed of 6.5 ft/s in a rectangular channel having a width of 5 ft The depth of the water is 2 ft.

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

specific energy = 2.65 ft

y2 = 1.48 ft

Explanation:

given data

average speed v = 6.5 ft/s

width = 5 ft

depth of the water y = 2 ft

solution

we get here specific energy that is express as

specific energy = y + $\frac{v^2}{2g}$ ...............1

put here value and we get

specific energy = $2 + \frac{6.5^2}{2\times 9.8\times 3.281}$

specific energy = 2.65 ft

and

alternate depth is

y2 = $\frac{y1}{2} \times (-1+\sqrt{1+8Fr^2})$

and

here Fr² = $\frac{v1}{\sqrt{gy}} = \frac{6.5}{\sqrt{32.8\times 2}}$

Fr² = 0.8025

put here value and we get

y2 = $\frac{2}{2} \times (-1+\sqrt{1+8\times 0.8025^2})$

y2 = 1.48 ft
