Two production methods are being compared. One manual and the other automated. The manual method produces 10 pc per hour and req
uires one worker at $ 15.00 per hour. Fixed cost of the manual method is $ 5,000 per year. The automated method produces 25 pc per hour, has a fixed cost of $ 55,000 per year, and a variable cost of $ 4.50 per hour. Determine the Break – Even Point (BEP) for the two methods; that is, determine the annual production quantity at which the two methods have the same annual cost. Ignore the cost of material used in the two methods

Answer:
Q= 4.6 × 10⁻³ m³/s
actual velocity will be equal to 8.39 m/s
Explanation:
density of fluid = 900 kg/m³
d₁ = 0.025 m
d₂ = 0.05 m
Δ P = -40 k N/m²
C v = 0.89
using energy equation
under ideal condition v₁² = 0
v₂² = 88.88
v₂ = 9.43 m/s
hence discharge at downstream will be
Q = Av
Q =
Q =
Q= 4.6 × 10⁻³ m³/s
we know that
hence , actual velocity will be equal to 8.39 m/s
