What would be the difference in stopping sight distance for two vehicles, each travelling at 65 mph, (same tire conditions and road conditions) if one is going up a 6% grade and the other going down a 6% grade?  

A stream has a temperature of 20 degrees C, a velocity of 0.5 m/s, a flow rate of 3.0 m³/s, depth of 3.0 m, saturation dissolved oxygen (DO = 9.07 mg/L), and BODu = 5 mg/L. Assume the deoxygenation constant (k) = 0.24 d^-1. Wastewater discharge flows into the stream at 0.6 m³/s and temperature of 20 degrees C, and the DO is 8.1 mg/L. The lowest DO downstream is 4.0 mg/L and it occurs at a distance of 20 km. (Assume reaeration rate, (k)₂ = 0.30 d^-1)

What is the DO concentration in the wastewater discharge (mg/L)?

What is the BODu in the wastewater discharge (mg/L)?

1. A freeway has the following characteristics:
   • 6 lanes, 3 in each direction
   • 13’ lanes
   • 8’ right side lateral clearance
   • Total of 4 ramps in the 3 miles upstream and 3 miles downstream of the midpoint of the facility
   • 2% upgrade for 1.5 miles
   • Urban facility with 50% delivery trucks and 50% freight trucks
   • 8% trucks
   • 3,400 veh/hr in the analysis direction in the peak hour
   • 955 vehicles in the peak 15-minute time period

1. (3)  What is the free flow speed of the facility?

2. (3)  What is the passenger car equivalent flow rate?

3. (3)  What is the estimated operating speed of the facility?

4. (2)  What is the density of the facility?

5. (2)  What is the LOS of the facility?

6. (2)  Describe what the LOS indicates about how well the facility is operating?

Differentiate between “tertiary treatment” and “advanced wastewater treatment”. How would you select a certain treatment system and what are the influencing factors?

Draw a schematic of a tertiary biological wastewater treatment plant with individual process unit operations and processes and identify the sources of sludge. Describe their characteristics and possible treatment and management options.

Design a low rate trickling filter for secondary treatment of sewage generated from 10,000 persons with rate of water supply 170 liters per capita per day. The BOD5 after primary treatment is 110 mg/L and BOD5 of final effluent should be 20 mg/L. Consider the following equation, where C = 5.358.

(St/So)=(1)/(1+C((D^0.67)/(QL^0.5))

Now, design a high rate trickling filter for the data given above except effluent BOD5 is 40 mg/l since polishing treatment is provided after high rate trickling filter. Consider a recirculation ratio of 2 and a filter depth of 1.8 m.

Calculate balanced and unbalanced snow loading for a heated garage/workshop located in the most northern part of Maine at the site of a 200 ft hight from the mean seal level. The area exhibits low wind and is populated with some trees. The structure is occupied by workers daily, has an asphalt gable roof with a pitch of 4 over 12 and is 44’ by 44’.

Draw profile and name it:

- Sluice gate on mild slope

- Dam on Mild slope

- Mild - Steep- Steeper- Drop

It has been estimated that the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere before the Industrial Revolution was about 275 ppmv. If the accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere continues, then by the middle of this century, it will probably be around 600 ppmv. Calculate the pH of rainwater (neglecting the effect of any other gases) at 25oC both before the Industrial Revolution and by the middle of this century (KH = 0.033363 mol/L∙atm, pKa1 = 6.35, pKa2 = 10.33).

A window-mounted air conditioner supplies 19 m3/min of air at 15°C, 1 bar to a room. Air returns from the room to the evaporator of the unit at 22°C. The air conditioner operates at steady state on a vapor-compression refrigeration cycle with Refrigerant 22 entering the compressor at 4 bar, 10°C. Saturated liquid refrigerant at 11.5 bar leaves the condenser. The compressor has an isentropic efficiency of 70%, and refrigerant exits the compressor at 11.5 bar. Determine:

(a) the compressor power, in kW.

(b) the refrigeration capacity, in tons.

(c) the coefficient of performance.

What will be the shear force diagram and bending moment diagram for this question if the P is 4.0kN instead of 3.6kN?

Thanks.

) Explain the difference between a direct and indirect observation. Provide an example of each not found in the “Error in Surveying” reading. What is the definition of an error? Why can we not calculate an exact error?

1. Write a dimension relationship for The period of oscillation T of a water surface wave that is assumed to be a function of density r , wavelength λ, depth h, gravity g, and surface tension σ . What will be the results if surface tension is negligible? Hint: Take λ, r, and g as repeating variables.
