"Time headway" in traffic flow is the elapsed time between the time that one car finishes passing a fixed point and the instant that the next car begins to pass that point. Let X = the time headway for two randomly chosen consecutive cars on a freeway during a period of heavy flow. The pdf of X is the following. f(x) =

0.15e−0.15(x − 0.5) x ≥ 0.5
0 otherwise
(a) What is the probability that time headway is at most 7 sec? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

(b) What is the probability that time headway is more than 7 sec? At least 7 sec? (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
more than 7 sec
at least 7 sec

(c) What is the probability that time headway is between 6 and 7 sec? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Liquid flows at steady state at a rate of 2 lb/'s through a pump, which operates to raise the elevation of the liquid 100 ft from control volume inlet to exit. the liquid specific enthalpy at the inlet is 40.09 btu/lb and at the exit is 40.94 btub. the pump requires 3 btu/s of power to operate. if kinetic energy effects are negligible and gravitational acceleration is 32.174 tt/s, the heat transfer rate associated with this steady state process is most closely 1)-2,02 btu/s from the liquid to the surroundings 2)-3.98 btu/s from the surroundings to the liquid. 3)-4.96 btu/s from the surroundings to the liquid. 4)-1.04 btu/s from the liquid to the surroundings.

Afan that can provide air speeds up to 60 m/s is to be used in a low-speed wind tunnel with atmospheric air at 35 c. if one wishes to use the wind tunnel to study flat-plate boundary layer behavior up to reynolds numbes of re 10, what is the minimum plate length that should be used? at what distance from the leading edge would transition occur if the critical reynolds nurnber were rer, e = 5 × 105?
