Six years ago, an 80-kW diesel electric set cost $160,000. The cost index for this class of equipment six years ago was 187 and

is now 194. The cost-capacity factor is 0.6. The plant engineering staff is considering a 120-kW unit of the same general design to to power a small isolated plant. Assume we want to add a pre-compressor, which (when isolated and estimated separately) currently costs $18,000. Determine the total cost of the 120-kW unit.
b. Estimate the cost of a 40-kW unit of the same general design. Include the cost of the $18,000 precompressor.

Answer:

new boiler total cost = $229706.825

new boiler total cost = $127512

Explanation:

given data

power p1 = 80 kW

cost C = $160000

cost index CI 1 = 187

cost index CI 2= 194

cost capacity factor f = 0.6

power p2 = 120 kW

current cost = $18000

to find out

total cost and cost of 40 kW

solution

we consider here CN cost for new boiler and CO cost for old boiler

and x is capacity of new boiler

first we find old boiler current cost that is

current cost CO = C × \frac{CI 1 }{CI 2 }   .............1

put here value

current cost = 160000 × \frac{194 }{187 }

new current cost = $165989.304

and

use here power sizing technique for 124 kW

CN/CO = (\frac{p2}{p1} )^{f}    ...............2

put here value and find CN

CN/CO = (\frac{p2}{p1} )^{f}  

CN / 165989.304 = (\frac{120}{80} )^{0.6}  

CN = 211706.825

so new cost = $211706.825

so

total cost for new boiler is

total cost = new cost + current cost

total cost = 211706.825 + 18000

new boiler total cost = $229706.825

and

for 40 kW new cost will be

use equation 2

CN/CO = (\frac{p2}{p1} )^{f}

CN / 165989.304 = (\frac{40}{80} )^{0.6}  

CN = 109512

so new cost is $109512

so

total cost for new boiler is

total cost = new cost + current cost

total cost = 109512 + 18000

new boiler total cost = $127512

Answer:

please give me brainlist and follow

Explanation:

Example of an irreverseble isothermal process is mixing of two fluids on the same temperature - it requires a lot of energy to unmix Jack and coke. ... Example of an reversible process with changing temperature is isentropic expansion.

An annealed copper strip of 228 mm wide and 25 mm thick being rolled to a thickness of 20 mm, in one pass. The roll radius is 30
sdas [7]

Answer:

The roll force is 1.59 MN

The power required in this operation is 644.96 kW

Explanation:

Given;

width of the annealed copper, w = 228 m

thickness of the copper, h₀ = 25 mm

final thickness, hf = 20 mm

roll radius, R = 300 mm

The roll force is given by;

F = LwY_{avg}

where;

w is the width of the annealed copper

Y_{avg} is average true stress of the strip in the roll gap

L is length of arc in contact, and for frictionless situation it is given as;

L = \sqrt{R(h_o-h_f)} \\\\L = \sqrt{300(25-20)}\\\\L = 38.73 \ mm

Now, determine the average true stress, Y_{avg}, for the annealed copper;

The absolute value of the true strain, ε = ln(25/20)

ε = 0.223

from true stress vs true strain graph; at true strain of 0.223, the true stress is 280 MPa.

Then, the average true stress = ¹/₂(280 MPa.) = 180 MPa

Finally determine the roll force;

F = LwY_{avg}

F = (\frac{38.73 }{1000})(\frac{228}{1000})*180 \ MPa\\\\F =   1.59 \ MN

The power required in this operation is given by;

P = \frac{2\pi FLN}{60}\\\\P =  \frac{2\pi (1.59*10^6)(0.03873)(100)}{60}\\\\P = 644955.2 \ W\\\\P = 644.96 \ kW

______process in sheet metal is used for producing fluid tight joints. A - Hemming B- Seaming C-Beading D-Roll forming
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

The correct answer is option B

Seaming is an operation in which the edges are folded over another part to achieve the tight fit.

Seaming is generally used to join other parts together.

So, seaming is generally used for producing fluid-tight joints.

This process is used in the food industry on canned goods, metal roofing, and in the automotive industry.

An electric field is expressed in rectangular coordinates by E = 6x2ax + 6y ay +4az V/m.Find:a) VMN if point M and N are specifi
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

a.) -147V

b.) -120V

c.) 51V

Explanation:

a.) Equation for potential difference is the integral of the electrical field from a to b for the voltage V_ba = V(b)-V(a).

b.) The problem becomes easier to solve if you draw out the circuit. Since potential at Q is 0, then Q is at ground. So voltage across V_MQ is the same as potential at V_M.

c.) Same process as part b. Draw out the circuit and you'll see that the potential a point V_N is the same as the voltage across V_NP added with the 2V from the other box.

Honestly, these things take practice to get used to. It's really hard to explain this.
