In 6 sentences discuss how should Kevin Clearing proceed at this point?

Kevin Clearing is the engineering manager for the Verdant County Road Commission (VCRC). VCRC has primary responsibility for maintaining the safety of county roads. Verdant County's population has increased by 30% in the past 10 years. This has resulted in increased traffic flow on many secondary roads in the area. Forest Drive, still a two lane road, has more than doubled its traffic flow during this period. It is now one of the main arteries leading into Verdant City, an industrial and commercial center of more than 60,000 people. For each of the past 7 years at least one person has suffered a fatal automobile accident by crashing into trees closely aligned along a 3 mile stretch of Forest Drive. Many other accidents have also occurred, causing serious injuries, wrecked cars, and damaged trees. Some of the trees are quite close to the pavement. Two law suits have been filed against the road commission for not maintaining sufficient road safety along this 3 three mile stretch. Both were dismissed because the drivers were going well in excess of the 45 mph speed limit. Other members of VCRC have been pressing Kevin Clearing to come up with a solution to the traffic problem on Forest Drive. They are concerned about safety, as well as law suits that may some day go against VCRC. Clearing now has a plan -- widen the road. Unfortunately, this will require cutting down about 30 healthy, longstanding trees along the road. Clearing's plan is accepted by VCRC and announced to the public. Immediately a citizen environmental group forms and registers a protest. Tom Richards, spokesperson for the group, complains, "These accidents are the fault of careless drivers. Cutting down trees to protect drivers from their own carelessness symbolizes the destruction of our natural environment for the sake of human 'progress.' It's time to turn things around. Sue the drivers if they don't drive sensibly. Let's preserve the natural beauty and ecological integrity around us while we can." Many letters on both sides of the issue appear in the Verdant Press, the issue is heatedly discussed on local TV, and Tom Richards presents VCRC with a petition to save the trees signed by 150 local citizens.

 In a tensile test of an aluminum rod it has a calibrated length of 50.8 mm and a diameter of
12.74 mm. A load of 3 180 kg and an elongation at the elastic limit of 0.0175 cm was recorded. The distance in the areacalibrated after the break is 5.65 cm and the final diameter in the section of the fracture was 1.05 cm. In a tensile test of an aluminum rod it has a calibrated length of 50.8 mm and a diameter of 12.74 mm. A load of 3 180 kg and an elongation at the elastic limit of 0.0175 cm was recorded. The distance in the area calibrated after the break is 5.65 cm and the final diameter in the section of the fracture was 1.05 cm. determine :

a) the effort in the elastic limit; b) The elastic modulus of the material; c) The ductility of the material ie the deformation unit and the reduction of total area until the test tube ruptures; d) The final length of a bar of this material 250 cm when applying an effort of 200 MPa.

A 20ft x 20ft metal building has a steel roof that reaches a temperature of 140o F on a hot day. A cool front then moves in such that air at 60oF sweeps horizontally across the roof at a velocity of 10 ft/s. Assuming the roof temperature remains at a constant 140oF for a time, determine:

a) the point at which the flow becomes turbulent (in feet)

b) the average heat transfer coefficient for the roof (in BTU/hr*ft^2*F)

An industrial process is using river water to cool 105 kg/h of saturated steam in a heat exchanger at 0.1 bar. The cooled steam exits the heat exchanger as a saturated liquid at the same pressure of 0.1 bar to be used in the process. The river water has a volumetric flow rate of 500 ft3/s and is the coolant in the heat exchanger., having properties close to pure water (i.e., density – 1000 kg/m3). It exists the heat exchanger with the same mass flow rate, and is returned to the river, but at a higher temperature. The river water on a hot summer day is 20 0C at the heat exchanger inlet, and near the mixing point of the discharged water from the heat exchanger. Operation is at steady state and kinetic and potential energy can be neglected. Since a higher river temperature results in lower dissolved oxygen there may be a risk of killing fish or even “stressing” them. For example, rainbow trout stop growing at sustained river temperatures of 73°F (23° C), and die at about 80 0F (27 0C). Should the owner of this industrial process be concerned for the fishes and local fisherman’s livelihood? Please comment by calculating the temperature rise of the river at the heat exchanger’s exit that discharges into the river.

Hint: properties of the saturated and compressed water can be found in tables: Table A-3 and Table A-5.

Determine the required size (area, nominal diameter, and Bar No.) of the three reinforcing steel bars used in a 9 in. wide and 12 in. deep concrete beam to assure the beam fails in compression of the concrete and the steel reinforcement reaches its yield strength at the same load. Assume that the ultimate compressive strength of the concrete is 4,000 psi and the yield strength of the steel is 30,000 psi.
