A six-lane divided multilane highway (three lanes in each direction) has a measured free-flow speed of 50 mi/h. It is on mountainous terrain with a traffic stream consisting of 7% large trucks and buses and 3% recreational vehicles. The driver population adjustment in 0.92. One direction of the highway currently operates at maximum LOS C conditions and it is known that the highway has PHF=0.90.
How many vehicles can be added to this highway before capacity is reached, assuming the proportion of vehicle types remain the same but the peak-hour factor increases to 0.95?
Process: (1) determine passenger car equivalent for trucks and buses; (2) determine passenger car equivalent for recreational vehicles; (3) calculate heavy vehicle factor; (4) determine 15-min passenger equivalent flow rate for current conditions; (5) determine 15-min passenger equivalent flow rate at full capacity; (6) calculate the volume for current and capacity conditions; (7) take the difference of the two volumes to determine how many vehicles were added

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.
