You have been asked to design a flexible pavement and the following daily traffic is expected for design: 6375 passenger cars with two 2-kip single axles, 375 18-wheel trucks with one 12-kip single axle and two 32-kip tandem axles, 225 triple-trailer trucks with one 18-kip single axle and six 36-kip tandem axles, and 525 single unit trucks with one 10-kip single axle and one 24-kip tandem axle. There are 3 lanes in the design direction (conservative design is to be used). Assuming a structural number of 5.0, determine the design-lane 18-kip ESALs for the pavement projected 15-year design life with the TSI of 2.5

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.

Thermal stresses are developed in a metal when its a) initial temperature is changed b) final temperature is changed c) density is changed d) thermal deformation is prevented e) expansion is prevented f) contraction is prevented
