Why does the Client want to know this information? Generate a solution to your problem. What parameters does the Client want to know? (What do we need to calculate?) -Annual Profit for Ethanol -Annual Profit for Natural Gas -Power produced from Natural Gas Combustion -Flow Rate of Ethanol needed to make the same amount of power as methane The client wants to know this information in order to determine which fuel soruce of energy generation is the best choice in terms of profit and efficiency. 2831 . 6 =7 (+3)(84) = - 0 . 65691 - - . 685 : 1857 . 58 S 1857 . 38 , (g) = /mol(-802 . 3K/(mor") = -92 , 913 . 85Ks (0 . 3)= -27 , 874 . 15 KS/S - 4 - Contin u 3 go Not at 301,32 % e 971 . 13 $ 129 , 3011324 - $ 10 , 608 , 971 - 132 i a sin ii in men

(The results of your calculations.) What assumptions were directly or indirectly made in determining your findings? Be specific. Annual Profit for Ethanol: -$29,969,279.30 Annual Profit for Natural Gas: $18,692,352.87 Power produced from Natural Gas Combustion: 27 .9 MW/year Flow Rate of Ethanol needed to make the same amount of power as methane: 1.16 gal/s Methane is more profitable than ethanol We are assuming that no heatis lost during enthalpy of formations, that ethanol has the same effiiency as methane (30%), and that there is no heat required to vaporize the liquid ethanol to gas befoe combustion $ 11 - 62(gas((gal)(6000s) = $ 59 , 2701603 . 30/year 10 . 12/kWh (27 , 874 . 15 kW) (4 = $ 29 1 3011324 . 00 Li 129 , 301 , 324 - $ 59 , 2701608 , 30 = - $ 29969279 . 3
