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

Which of the following is NOT one of the main motivations and characteristics of an entrepreneur?
mojhsa [17]

Process of elimination:

Flexibility is a characteristic because entrepreneurs are designing their own path (path being vague for whatever their entrepreneurship is focused on), allowing for flexibility

Risk is a characteristic because being on your own and doing your own thing is much more unstable than simply working for a well-founded company

Innovation is a characteristic, because the flexibility that comes from being an entrepreneur allows for freedom of ones own ideas, making innovation more likely.

Profit is not a particular characteristic, due to the risk factor.

Profit is the right answer :D

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

more than

earn interest

discount cash flow (DCF)

Explanation:

The concept of future value represents the amount that a lump sum or series of cash flows will achieve after a given period when compounded at an interest rate. This means that a dollar in hand today is worth more than a dollar to be received since it can be applied to earn interest.

The time value of money, which allows us to evaluate different investments, is also known as discount cash flow (DCF).

Annette [7]

Answer:

$2700 supplies in hand

$3600 Supplies expense

Explanation:

As you can see in question data Sheldon has already counted the supplies in hand so, we only have to calculate supplies expense by doing some minor workings

WORKINGS

Supplies Expense = Opening + purchases - payment made

Supplies Expense = $1600 + $4700 - $2500

Supplies Expense = $3600
