"Time headway" in traffic flow is the elapsed time between the time that one car finishes passing a fixed point and the instant that the next car begins to pass that point. Let X = the time headway for two randomly chosen consecutive cars on a freeway during a period of heavy flow. The pdf of X is the following. f(x) =

0.15e−0.15(x − 0.5) x ≥ 0.5
0 otherwise
(a) What is the probability that time headway is at most 7 sec? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

(b) What is the probability that time headway is more than 7 sec? At least 7 sec? (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
more than 7 sec
at least 7 sec

(c) What is the probability that time headway is between 6 and 7 sec? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Water in a partially filled large tank is to be supplied to the roof top, which is 8 m above the water level in the tank, through a 2.2-cm-internal-diameter pipe by maintaining a constant air pressure of 300 kpa (gage) in the tank. if the head loss in the piping is 2 m of water, determine the discharge rate of the supply of water to the roof top in liters per second.

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.
