6.15 A multilane highway has four lanes (two lanes in each direction) and a measured free-flow speed of 55 mi/h. One upgrade is 5% and is 0.62 mi long. Currently trucks are not permitted on the highway, but there are 2% buses (no recreational vehicles) in the directional peak-hour volume of 1900 vehicles (the peak-hour factor is 0.80). Local authorities are considering allowing trucks on this upgrade. If this is done, they estimate that 150 large trucks will use the highway during the peak hour. What would be the level of service before and after the trucks are allowed (assuming the driver population adjustment to be 1.0 before and 0.97 after)

An open feedwater heater operates at steady state with liquid entering at inlet 1 with t? = 40°c and pl = 1 .2 mpa. water vapor att2-200°c and p2 = 1.2 mpa enters at inlet 2. saturated liquid water exits with a pressure of pa 1.2 mpa. neglect heat transfer with the surroundings and all kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the mass flow rate of steam at inlet 2 if the mass flow rate of liquid water at inlet 1 is given as 2 kg/s.
