Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects being considered by an agency. The agency's MARR is 4% per year and the projects have a service life of 5 years. Answer the following questions. Initial cost Annual revenues Present Worth (PW) Project 1 $14,600 $3,901 $2,767 Project 2 $22,100 $5,638 a. Based on the PW, the project that is more economical is Project b. Calculate the IRR of each alternative (use the trial-and-error method) % (Round to the nearest one decimal place) The IRR of Project 1 is The IRR of Project 2 is % (Round to the nearest one decimal place) $2,999 (Enter the project number). c. Perform the incremental IRR analysis to determine the project that is more economical: Incremental IRR =% (Round to the nearest one decimal place); Therefore, based on the incremental IRR, Project is more economical. d. Do the two methods produce the same recomendation for the most economical project?

a) A wind turbine generates power by transferring the kinetic energy of the wind to rotational energy used to spin a generator, generating electrical power. Wind travelling at 7 m/s contacts the turbine blades and is slowed to 1.75 m/s. The wind turbine has a blade diameter of 41 m, and the air has a density of 1007 kg/m³. What is the power generated in MW if the efficiency is 58%? Round your answer to 3 significant figures. b) What is the torque acting on the shaft if the blades are rotating at 9.3 rpm? Give your answer in kNm. Round your answer to 4 significant figures.
A large company is planning to purchase equipment costing $220,000 and will depreciate it fully using straight-line depreciation over 8 years. The company expects that the investment will have an annual benefit of $54,000. Each use of the equipment will also provide a benefit of $25. In 5 years, there will be no salvage value for the equipment. The company's combined marginal tax rate is 24%. Based on 12% after-tax MARR, how many uses of the equipment must the company have each year in order to justify its investment? Question 8 Part H: What is the break-even value?
It is required to analyze the operation of an Electric Power Plant called EcomEnergy S.A, the main operator and manager of the plant need to hire a mechanical engineer to calculate the following:a) The reheating temperature so that the output of turbine 1 is saturated steam (high quality mixtures are not allowed).b) For this reheating process, the total power output of the turbines must be calculated.c) The total heat transfer of the boiler.d) Make the T vr S Diagram, include all possible states (1,2,3,4…) and temperature and pressure data.Ecom Energy produces steam at 3 MPa, 600°C in the boiler. In addition, it maintains the condenser at 45°C by transferring 10 MW as heat output.In turbine 1 an expansion is carried out up to 500 kPa and then the flow is reheated, followed by expansion in low pressure turbine 2.
A 5-ton spacecraft is running low on fuel and the spacecraft's propulsion force is given by F=5000−2x (The instant the force reaches zero, the fuel runs out and the force is forever zero.) Assuming that the change in the ship's mass due to fuel loss is negligible, determine: a) Graph the force versus position and tell where the fuel ends. b) How much energy was available in the fuel? c) If the ship starts from rest, what is the fastest speed the ship can reach?
When a stationary mass of gas was compressed without friction at constant pressure its initial state of 0.8 m3 and 0.105 MPa was found to change to final state of 0.40 m3 and 0.105 MPa. There was a transfer of 85 kJ of heat from the gas during the process.How much did the internal energy of the gas change ? * 1 Add File
An electric hot water heater consumes 3.1 kilowatts of electricity and converts it to heat. How long will it take the water heater to heat a 67 gallon tank of water from 10 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees Celsius? (1 kilogram of water is 0.37 gallons, 1 Calorie = 4200 J). It may be helpful to refer back to the weekly handout for guidance on this problem. Your final answer should be in minutes (rounded to the nearest 10 minutes).
