A divided multilane highway in a recreational area has four lanes (two lanes in each direction) and is on rolling terrain. The highway has 10-ft lanes with a 5-ft right-side shoulder and a 3-ft left-side shoulder. The posted speed is 55 mi/h. Previously, there were six access points per mile, but recent development has increased the number of access points to 12 per mile. Before development, the peak-hour factor was 0.95, and the directional hourly volume was 2300 vehicles with 15% heavy vehicles. After development, the peak-hour directional flow is 2700 vehicles with the same vehicle percentages and peak-hour factor.

1. What is the LOS before and after the development?

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?
