Engineers are planning to build a highway that runs through a forest (0% impervious). However, the new regional regulations specify that the development of the area cannot increase the runoff of TKN (Total Kjeldakl Nitrogen) to the nearby river. The highway section going through the forest will be built of conventional materials (100% impervious), it is 5 miles long, and contains 4 lanes (12 ft wide each). The annual rainfall in the region is 41 in and 80% of the annual rainfall generates runoff. What is the annual TKN load increase due to the construction of the highway (in kg/yr)? If you were to build this road with permeable pavement and wanted to store 100% of the runoff volume generated, what would the depth of the permeable pavement layer have to be (in ft). Consider the porosity of that layer to be 0.4. After obtaining your final answer, please answer the following questions: 1) What does the final number mean? 2) Is this number reasonable? 3) What would be your recommendation for the highway administrators if this number is not reasonable?

Asingle-geared blanking press has a stroke of 200 mm and a rated capacity of 320 kn. a cam driven ram is assumed to be capable of delivering the full press load at constant force during the last 15 percent of a constant-velocity stroke. the camshaft has an average speed of 90 rev/min and is geared to the flywheel shaft at a 6: 1 ratio. the total work done is to include an allowance of 16 percent for friction a) estimate the maximum energy fluctuation b) find the rim weight for an effective diameter of 1.2 m and a coefficient of speed fluctuation of 0.10
