An excavator ($300/hour) with a 4 cubic yard bucket loads trucks ($200/hour each).Trucks carry 18 cubic yards. Each cycle of the excavator is 30 seconds (4 yd3 each 30
seconds). We can either load the truck full (18 yd3) in 5 cycles or partially full (16 yd3) in 4 cycles. Assume 100% productive (60 minutes/60 minutes)In either case, the truck takes 6.5 minutes to travel, dump and return.
a. Option 1: 5 cycles of the excavator, 18 yd3 in the truck.
i. Determine the number of trucks to balance the operation, to 1 decimal place
ii. Round the number of trucks up, determine the productivity in yd3/hour
iii. Determine the cost per hour (round to nearest dollar) and cost per cubic yard(round to nearest cent/yd3) to load and haul the soil.
b Option 2: 4 cycles of the excavator, 16 yd3 in the truck.
i. Determine the number of trucks to balance the operation, to 2 decimal places
ii. Round the number of trucks up, determine the productivity in yd3/hour
iii. Determine the cost per hour and cost per cubic yard to load and haul the soil

Water at 70°f and streams enter the mixing chamber at the same mass flow rate, determine the temperature and the quality of the exiting stream. 0 psia is heated in a chamber by mixing it with saturated water vapor at 20 psia. if both streams enters the mixing chamber at the same mass flow rate, determine the temperature and the quality of the existing system.

Hydraulic fluid with a sg. of 0.78 is flowing through a 1.5 in. i.d. pipe at 58 gal/min. the fluid has an absolute viscosity of 11.8 x 105 lbf-sec/ft2. is the flow laminar, turbulent or within the critical range? give both a numerical reynolds number and a term answer.
