Maintaining Level of Service C on a Freeway. A four-lane freeway is located on rolling rural terrain and has two 12-ft lanes in each direction and no lateral obstructions within 8 ft of the right-hand lane. The traffic stream consists of cars and trucks. A peak-hour volume of 3600 vehicles is observed in the major direction, with 1000 arriving in the most congested 15-min period. TRD = 0.24 ramps/mi. If any data are missing, adopt default values. A. What is the PHF?
B. What is the density of the peak hour traffic? At what level of service is the freeway operating?
C. If a level of service no worse than C is desired, how many lanes are needed in each direction?

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.
