1. A four-lane freeway (two lanes in each direction) is located on rolling terrain and has 12-ft lanes, no lateral obstructions
within 6 ft of the pavement edges, and there are two ramps within three miles upstream of the segment midpoint and three ramps within three miles downstream of the segment midpoint. A weekday directional peak-hour volume of 1800 vehicles (familiar users) is observed, with 700 arriving in the most congested 15-min period. If a LOS no worse than C is desired, determine the maximum number of heavy vehicles that can be present in the peak-hour traffic stream.

Answer:
Heat gain of 142 kJ
Explanation:
We can see that job done by compressing the He gas is negative, it means that the sign convention we are going to use is negative for all the work done by the gas and positive for all the job done to the gas. With that being said, the first law of thermodynamics equation will help us to solve this problem.
Δ ⇒
Δ
Therefore, the gas gained heat by an amount of 142 kJ.
