Assume a person is making a 350 mile trip from Amherst to Washington DC has four modes available to them: air; auto; train; ship. Describe the results for 3 different travelers that value their time at $10, $30, and $100, respectively if the following associated costs and parameters are also involved (hint: convert variables to $): Air $2.00 per mile at 3 hours
Auto $0.50 per mile at 8 hours
Train $0.25 per mile at 10 hours
Ship S0.25 per mile at 15 hours
1. Which mode wins out for each of the 3 travelers?
2. Which mode would you select, and why?

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.

In a unit cell of fcc structure, indicate the position of one of the tetrahedral interstitial sites by plotting the corresponding tetrahedron. do the same for one of the octahedral interstitial sites (in a separate fcc unit cell). mark the positions of all the tetrahedral and octahedral interstitial sites in the unit cells. how many equivalent tetrahedral sites and how many equivalent octahedral sites are contained in a fcc unit cell, respectively. what is the coordination number for a tetrahedral site and what is the coordination number for an octahedral site?
