Six years ago, an 80-kW diesel-electric set cost $145,000. The cost index for this class of equipment six years ago was 187 and is now 194. The plant engineering staff was considering a 120-kW unit of the same general design to power a small isolated plant that would have cost $200,145. Based on the information above the plant engineering staff is considering a 100-kW unit of the same general design to power a small isolated plant. Assume we want to add a pre-compressor, which (when isolated and estimated separately) currently costs $10,000. Determine the total cost of the 100-kW unit.

The city of Springfield (where the Simpsons live) has finally decided to put the perpetually burning tire pile to good use. They use the heat to generate power (much to the chagrin of Mr. Burns). The plant has a concrete stack that emits flue gases into the atmosphere as shown in the figure below. Q : 2 D = 10 ft L= 250 ft From heat source 1. [4 ft- 4 ft For p1 = 31.0 in. Hg, abs. and V2 = 2600 ft/min, find the useful energy loss in the system (between points 1 and 2) in ft · Ib/lbm. At point 2, T2 = 350°F and p2 = 14.75 psia. Use a constant flue gas density of 0.055 lbm/ft³. Note: Point 1 is in a square duct; Point 2 (the stack) is a round duct. loss = i 466.67 ft · Ib/lbm
