A four-lane highway has a normal capacity of 1800 vehicles per hour per lane. In the southbound direction, a vehicle disablement on the roadway shoulder occurs at 4:30 p. m. Due to rubbernecking, the capacity in the southbound direction is reduced to 1200 veh/h/lane at this time. At 4:45 p. m., the disabled vehicle is removed from the shoulder and the capacity increases to 1500 veh/h/lane. At 5:00 p. m. the roadway capacity returns to its full value of 1800 veh/h/lane. From 4:30 p. m. until the queue clears the traffic flow rate in the southbound direction is 1600 veh/h/lane. What is the average delay per vehicle, the maximum queue length, and the average queue length in the southbound direction resulting from the incident (assuming D /D /1 queuing)

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.

An air conditioning system consist of a 5 cm diameter pipe, operating at a pressure of 200 kpa. the air initially enters the pipe at 15°c with a velocity of 20 m/s and relative humidity of 80%. if the heat supply throughout the process is 960 w, determine the relative humidity and the temperature at the outlet

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
