There are 10 vehicles in a queue when an attendant opens a toll booth. Vehicles arrive at the booth at a rate of 4 per minute. The attendant opens the booth and improves the service rate over time following the function u(t) = 1.1 + .30t, where u(t) is in vehicles per minute and t is in minutes. I need to find the maximum queue length. I included my solution below for the total delay.

u(t) = 4 when t = (4-1.1)/0.3 = 9.67mins
(9.67 to t) ? (1.1+0.3t)dt = 10
? 1.1t + 0.15t2 ](9.67 to t)= 10
? t = 11.97mins
So, delay = 11.97 – 9.67 = 2.30mins

Refrigerant 134a enters an insulated compressor operating at steady state as saturated vapor at -26°c with a volumetric flow rate of 0.18 m3/s. refrigerant exits at 9 bar, 70°c. changes in kinetic and potential energy from inlet to exit can be ignored. determine the volumetric flow rate at the exit, in m3/s, and the compressor power, in kw.

Water at 70°f and streams enter the mixing chamber at the same mass flow rate, determine the temperature and the quality of the exiting stream. 0 psia is heated in a chamber by mixing it with saturated water vapor at 20 psia. if both streams enters the mixing chamber at the same mass flow rate, determine the temperature and the quality of the existing system.
