Answer to Problem 1CQ

Heat (Q) is the amount ofenergythat is transferred from an area at high temperature to an area at a low temperature.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The capacity to do work is defined as energy. Energy can be defined as the quantitative property which defines the capacity to do work. Energy can be associated with any form such as heat, light, kinetic energy, mechanical energy, etc.

Heat is the form of energy which is transferred due to temperature difference. The heat energy is transferred from a high temperature region to a low-temperature region. Heat energy is generated due to the kinetic action of the atoms. The kinetic motion of atoms consists of collision or interaction with each other resulting in the release of energy.

Conclusion:

Thus, the complete statement is, “Heat (Q) is the amount ofenergythat is transferred from an area at high temperature to an area at low temperature.”

Assume a car park facility where the arrival rate is λ customer every minute, and the service process including pressing the button, taking the card, and waiting for the boom to rise leads to service rate of μ customer every minute. a. Assume the arrival and service processes are stochastic. Using any software (Excel, Matlab, or the one you prefer), plot average delay time (including service time) and average queue size (including the vehicle currently being served) for all combinations of λ = {1,2,3,..,10} and p = {0.1,0.3,0.5,0.7,0.9}. Specifically, we ask you to make 2 graphs (one for average delay and the other for average queue size), where the x-axes contains the different values for 1, and where you make one curve for each p. b. Assume the arrival process is stochastic but the service process is deterministic with rate µ. Using any software (Excel, Matlab, or the one you prefer), plot average delay time (including service time) and average queue size (including the vehicle…
Consider, M people (aka pax) who want to travel by car from O to D. They all start working at D at Q (e.g., Q-8am). If a person departs at time t, assume the time needed to go from O to D is given by c(t)=A+Bx(t), where x(t) is the flow of people departing at time t [car/unit of time]. In addition, a is the penalty for being early at work (E(t) is how early the person arrived when departing at time t), and ẞ is the penalty for being late at work (L(t) is how late the person arrived when departing at time t). Assume 0 < a < 1 < ß. Further assume the departure time choice problem under the equilibrium conditions. Prove that the arrival time of people who depart when most of the M people start their trips is equal to Q.
