The steam requirements of a manufacturing facility are being met by a boiler whose rated heat input is 5.5 × 106 Btu/h. The comb

ustion efficiency of the boiler is measured to be 0.7 by a hand-held flue gas analyzer. After tuning up the boiler, the combustion efficiency rises to 0.8. The boiler operates 5200 h a year intermittently. Taking the unit cost of energy to be $23/106 Btu, determine the annual energy and cost savings as a result of tuning up the boiler.

Solution:

Given Information,

Heat input is ( Q_{in} ) = 5.5 × 10^{6} Btu/h

Combustion efficiency of the boiler (n_{furnance}) = 0.7

Combustion efficiency after turn up (n_{furnance,now}) = 0.8

Operation Hour (t) = 5200h

Unit cost (c) = \frac{23 dollar}{10^{6}Btu }

Calculate heat output from the boiler  Q_{out} = Q_{in} x n_{furnance}

                                                                      = 5.5 x 10^{6} x 0.7

                                                                      = 3.85 x 10^{6} Btu/h

Calculate the heat input to the boiler after the tune-up

(Q_{in} ){new} = Q_{out} / (n_{furnance} ){new}

               = 3.85 x 10^{6} / 0.8

               = 4.8125  x 10^{6} Btu/h

Calculate the saved energy after the tune-up

(Q_{in} ){saved} = Q_{in} - (Q_{in} ){new}

                 = 5.5 x 10^{6} - 4.8125  x 10^{6} Btu/h

                 = 0.6875  x 10^{6} Btu/h

Calculate the annual energy saving ( E_{Saving} )

E_{Saving} = (Q_{in} ){saved} x t

           = ( 0.6875  x 10^{6} Btu/h ) ( 5200 hr/yr)

           = 3575 x 10^{6} Btu/h

Calculate the annual cost saving

Annual cost saving = E_{Annual saving} x Unit cost

                                = 3575 x 10^{6} Btu/h x \frac{23 dollar}{10^{6}Btu }

                                = 82225

Alex

Answer:$81

Explanation:

The options given are:

a. $76

b. $80

c. $81

d. $82

If the principal market that is, the market that the greatest volume of activity can't be identified, then the most advantageous market would be used to determine the fair value of a financial asset.

The most advantageous market is the market that has the highest net price, after transaction cost has been considered even though the transaction costs is not included into the fair value. Therefore, the second market gives the highest net price of $80 after the consideration of the transaction costs, hence, it should be utilized for fair value purposes.

The fair value amount include the transaction costs, which give $80 + $1 = $81

The fair value amount is $81.

disa [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C" and "D": Benchmarking shows the solutions others have found for common problems; Benchmarking allows companies to review their internal processes in an unbiased fashion.

Explanation:

Benchmarking is an analysis that companies make of the best performer in their industries. The objective is to compare the techniques and processes to the top entity to find out which practices can be implemented in the firms to improve their efficiency and effectiveness.

<em>For the comparison to be accurate, the firm must make an unbiased study of its current method of operations. Only then, the firm can review which problems it has in common with the top-industry company and how this corporation overcame the issues.</em>
