A divided highway has two travel lanes in each direction and capacity of 3600 vehicles/hour in each direction. The traffic flow in the eastbound direction between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM is 3000 vehicles/hour. A traffic accident shuts down the left lane of the highway in the eastbound direction at 9:10 AM, reducing the capacity to 1800 vehicles per hour. The accident is cleared and all lanes open to traffic after 35 minutes.
Assuming the uniform vehicle arrivals, calculate the following:
(a) Duration of the queue caused by the accident (i. e., queue dissipation time).
(b) Maximum queue length.
(c) Maximum (longest) delay of a vehicle in the queue.
(d) Total queue delay (in vehicle-hours).

Along 8-cm diameter steam pipe whose external surface temperature is 900c connects two buildings. the pipe is exposed to ambient air at 70c with a wind speed of 50 km/hr blowing across the pipe. determine the heat loss from the pipe per unit length. (b) air at 500c enters a section of a rectangular duct (15 cm x 20 cm) at an average velocity of 7 m/s. if the walls of the duct are maintained at 100c. a) the length of the tube for an exit temperature of the air to be 40 0c. b)the rate of heat transfer from the air. c) the fan power needed to overcome the pressure drop in this section of the duct.
