(9) Assume on average 10 passengers arrive per minute. Assuming poisson arrivals and departures, estimate the gain (if any) in ‘average time spent in system per passenger’ if TSA decides to replace 4 type-A security scanners with 3 type-B security scanners. The service rate per scanner for type-A scanners is 3 passengers per minute and type-B scanners is 5 passengers per minute?

A water has a temperature of 10o C and pH = 8. What should be the C.t value for 3-log Giardia removal using (a) chlorine, (b) chloramine. Assume a chlorine residual of 1.0 mg/L is required. If the chlorine dosage required to achieve this residual is 1.6 mg/L, what is the chlorine requirement in lbs/d for a 2 mgd water plant.

Select the lightest W14 section to carry an axial compression of P = 100 kips dead load, and 140 kips live load; along with a strong axis bending moment of 125 kip-ft dead load and 325 kip-ft live load. Assume the moment acts along the entire 15 foot length of the member, and the ends are pin-pin connections.
