The first year AADT on a six-lane interstate highway located in an urban area is expected to be 10,500 in one direction. The growth rate of two-axle single unit trucks 10,000 lb/axle is expected to be 5% per annum during the first five years of the pavement life and will increase to 6% per annum for the remaining life of the pavement while the growth rate for all other vehicles is expected to be 4% per annum throughout the life of the pave- ment. Determine the design ESAL for a 20-year design life.

The projected vehicle mix during the first year of operation is:

Passenger cars (1,000 lb/axle) 83%
Two-axle single-unit trucks (10,000 lb/axle) =10%
Two-axle single-unit trucks (12,000 lb/axle) =596
Three-axle single-unit trucks (14,000 lb/axle) =2%
Pi= 3.5
pl =2.5
fd =0.7
Assume SN =4

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.
