a.

To determine

To Describe: Describe the central forced air cooling and heating system.

a.

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Central forced air: It is the most commonly used cooling and heating system in today’s world.

It circulates the air with the help of duct or spaces provided around the device. It has a fan inside the system which helps the air to drive through the metal or plastic pipes which is commonly known as ducts. The air which might be hot or cool according to the requirement enters to the room through the ducts and provide hot and cool air to the room.

b.

To determine

To Describe: Describe the Hot Water cooling and heating system.

b.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

Hot Water: In this system water is heated with the help of oil and gas fired boiler after that it is passed through the pipes to the convertors or radiators of the room. Fresh water is obtained to the boiler from the supply of the house. Water circulates or flow all around the combustion chambers and absorbs heat from them. To circulates the water through the entire system a circular pump is required in the system.

c.

To determine

To Describe: Describe the Heat pump cooling and heating system.

c.

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Heat Pump: The central air forced heating and cooling system runs with the help of a circular refrigerator and a compressor system the whole assembly known as heat pump system. The heat around the building or structure is sucks and sent into the rooms through the pumps. This pumps supplies three times more heat as compare standard electric forced air system. The energy saves by the heat pumps is 30 to 50 % annually.

d.

To determine

To Describe: Describe the Zoned heating system.

d.

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Zoned Heating: The zoned heating system operates with one thermostat and one heater per room. This does not require any ducts to operate but heaters are operated in the rooms. It allows the occupants that how much energy used in the room and amount of money and power spent in that energy.

Part 3: Problem-Solving. Solve the following problems. Show all calculations. 1. A retaining wall 5.80m high supports soil that has the following properties: Unit weight = 17.3 kN/m³ Angle of internal friction = 26 deg. Cohesion = 14.5 kPa a) Calculate the normal pressure acting at the back of the wall assuming no tensile crack occurs in the soil. b) Find the location of the tensile crack measured from the surface of horizontal backfill. c) Determine the active pressure acting on the wall in tensile crack occurs in the soil. 2. The soil material is supported by a retaining wall to a height of 6m. The unit weight of the soil is 16 kN/m³ and the angle of internal friction is 29 deg. Assume the soil is cohesionless. a) Determine the earth pressure on the wall. b) Find the total active pressure if surcharge of 14 kPa is applied on the surface of horizontal backfill. c) Locate the position of the total pressure from the bottom.
Question 3 (20 points): The traffic volume on a 2-lane highway is 1600 veh/hr in each direction Page 3 of 6 with a density of 20 veh/mi. A large dump truck enters the traffic stream from an adjacent construction site at 20 mph and carries on this way for 2 miles before turning off to the dump site. Because flow is so high in the opposite direction, no one can pass the truck. As a result, traffic back up behind the truck at four times the density (i.e., 4x20 = 80 veh/mi) at a volume of 1000 veh/hr. How many vehicles get caught in the traffic congestion before the truck exits the highway?
