Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 38P
A truck weighing station has a single scale. The time between truck arrivals at the station is exponentially distributed with a mean arrival rate of 1.6 veh/min. The time it takes vehicles to be weighed is exponentially distributed with a mean rate of 2.1veh/min. When more than five trucks are in the system, the queue backs up onto the highway and interferes with through traffic. What is the probability that the number of trucks in the system will exceed 5?

A steel, possessing an eutectoid composition, undergoes a gradual cooling process from 800°C to
600°C. Outline the transformation, equilibrium microstructure, and provide approximate component
proportions.
Describe the resultant non-equilibrium microstructure in two scenarios:
a) the steel is rapidly cooled from 800°C to 600°C within 1 s, and then held at such temperature;
b) the steel is rapidly cooled from 800°C to 600°C within 1 s, maintained at this temperature for
5 s, and subsequently quenched to room temperature.
Use the provided diagrams.
