A construction company distributes its products by trucks loaded at its loading station. A backacter in conjunction with trucks are used for this purpose. If it was found out that on an average of 12 trucks per hour arrived and the average loading time was 3 minutes for each truck. A truck must queue until it is loaded. The backacter’s daily all-in rate is GH¢ 1000 and that of the truck is GH¢ 400. a)Compute the operating characteristics: L, Lq, W, Wq, and P. b)The company is considering replacing the backacter with a bigger one which will have an average service rate of 1.5 minutes to serve trucks waiting to have their schedules improved. As a manager, would you recommend the new backacter if the daily all-in rate is GH¢ 1300. c)The site management is considering whether to deploy an extra backwater to assist the existing one. The daily all-in-rate and efficiency of the new backwater is assumed to be the same as that of the existing backwater. Should the additional backwater be deployed?

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.
