<span>Generally, man wants to engage in feasible business or investment that will bring profits or benefits. Because of this, before engaging in the business or purchasing of a product, he usually weights the costs and the benefits that will be derived. If the benefits are higher than the costs, he will usually be ready to engage in the business or buy the product, but if the reverse is the case, he will see no reason for engaging in such a business.</span><span />

Solution:
Given Information,
Heat input is (
) = 5.5 ×
Btu/h
Combustion efficiency of the boiler (
) = 0.7
Combustion efficiency after turn up (
) = 0.8
Operation Hour (t) = 5200h
Unit cost (c) = 
Calculate heat output from the boiler
=
x 
= 5.5 x
x 0.7
= 3.85 x
Btu/h
Calculate the heat input to the boiler after the tune-up
=
/ 
= 3.85 x
/ 0.8
= 4.8125 x
Btu/h
Calculate the saved energy after the tune-up
=
- 
= 5.5 x
- 4.8125 x
Btu/h
= 0.6875 x
Btu/h
Calculate the annual energy saving (
)
=
x t
= ( 0.6875 x
Btu/h ) ( 5200 hr/yr)
= 3575 x
Btu/h
Calculate the annual cost saving
Annual cost saving =
x Unit cost
= 3575 x
Btu/h x 
= 82225
