A test conducted on a water-jacketed air compressor showed that 5000 ft-lb of work were required to compress 1 lb of air. The enthalpy of the air leaving was 25 BTU/lb greater than that of the entering air. During the compression, the enthalpy of the circulating water increased 35 BTU/lb of compressed air, neglecting kinetic energy. Compute the heat exchange with its surroundings.

Many decisions are made on the basis of the payback period: the time it will take through savings to equal the capital cost of an investment. Acceptable payback times depend upon the business or philosophy one has. For some industries, a payback period is as small as 2 yeas) Suppose you wish to install the extra insulation in the preceding problem. If energy cost $1.00 per million joules and the insulation was $4.00 per square meter, then calculate the simple payback time. Take the average T for the 120-day heating season to be 15.0 .
