A freeway with two northbound lanes is shut down because of an accident. At the time of the accident, the traffic speed is 40mph, and the flow rate is 1200 vehicles per hour per lane. The arriving traffic flow rate and speed will remain at this level. The capacity of the freeway is 2400 vehicles per hour per lane with a speed 60mph when not impacted by an accident. The freeway jam density is 180 vehicles per mile per lane. The freeway is shut down completely for 40 minutes and finally both lanes are opened. Using the shockwave theory, determine when the queue will be cleared completely and at the time of clearance, how far upstream the traffic has been impacted by the accident

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.
