Question: Develop a computer program to calculate the feed rate for an asphalt plant. For drummix plants, output the cold feed rate in tons per hour (tIb) of coarse and fine aggregate, mineral filler, and asphalt cement. For batch plants, output the dry weight in tons (t) per batch for aggregates, mineral filler, and asphalt cement. Input should include the type of plant, the aggregate composition, asphalt content, field aggregate moisture, and drum capacity at the required moisture removal. Solve Problem using your program.
Problem: Calculate the hot feed required per batch for an asphalt batch plant producing 3 tons (2.7 t) per batch under the following conditions:
Asphalt content = 5%
Aggregate composition:
Coarse A = 45%
Coarse B = 35%
Sand = 15%
Mineral filler = 5%
