2. A freeway is being designed for a location in rolling terrain. The expected free-flow speed is 55 mph. During the peak hour, it is expected there will be a directional peak-hour volume of 2700 vehicles and 18% heavy vehicles. The PHF is expected to be 0.88. If a LOS no worse than D is desired, determine the necessary number of lanes.

What difference(s) did you notice using a pneumatic circuit over hydraulic circuit. explain why the pneumatic piston stumbles when it hits an obstacle.

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.

Give heat transfer applications for the following, (i) gas turbines (propulsion) ) gas turbines (power generation). (iii) steam turbines. (iv) combined heat and power (chp). (v) automotive engines
