Explanation:

First cost =$ 1,050,000

Salvage Value =$ 225,000 Maintenance & Operating cost =$ 235,000 Maintenance & Operating Gradient =$ 75,000 MARR =10 %

EUAB - EAUC $=\$ 1,050,000(\mathrm{~A} / \mathrm{P}, 10 \%, \mathrm{n})+\$ 225,000(\mathrm{~A} / \mathrm{F}, 10 \%, \mathrm{n})$

$$

-\$ 235,000-\$ 75,000(\mathrm{~A} / \mathrm{G}, 10 \%, \mathrm{n})

$$

Try $\mathrm{n}=4$ years:

$$

\text { EUAB - EAUC }=\$ 331,275+\$ 48,488-\$ 235,000-\$ 103,575=-\$ 621,362

$$

Try $\mathrm{n}=5$ years:

EUAB - EUAC=-\$ 276,990+\$ 36,855-\$ 235,000-\$ 135,750=-$ 610,885

Try n=6 years

{ EUAB - EUAC }=-$ 241,080+$ 29,160-$ 235,000-$ 166,800=-$ 613,720

Thus, year 5 has the minimum EUAB - EUAC, hence the most economic life is 5 years.

Which of the following bonding is the strongest? (a) lonic bonding (b) Metallic bonding (c) Covalent bonding with some van der W
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

(a) lonic bonding

Explanation:

The Strongest chemical bond is the ionic bond ,

Because ionic bond is bound by strong electrostatic interactions ,

The ionic bond forms crystal lattice structure which are bounded by  electrostatic interactions but the covalent bond is formed by the van der waal forces .

Hence , ionic bond is stronger than covalent bond .

Consider the smoothie example given in class: Write down the production function of Tutti Frutti Smoothie example given in class
mart [117]

Answer:

Production Function : TFSq = f { ingredient 1 ...... ing. i }

Increasing/ Constant/  Increasing Returns to Scale :

Output change > / = / < Input change respectively

Explanation:

Production Function is the relationship between production inputs & outputs, given technology. It denotes the maximum output that can be generated with given inputs.

Tutti Frutti Smoothie [TFS] quantity = Function of {Ingredient1.....ingredient i}

Returns to Scale represents change in output when all inputs change in same proportion.

  • Constant Returns to Scale [CRS] : Output Change = All inputs change
  • Increasing Returns to Scale [IRS] : Output Change > All inputs change
  • Negative Returns to Scale [NRS] : Output Change < All inputs change

When all inputs (ingredients) change by same proportion i.e get twice 2X :- If output of Tutti Frutti Smoothie increases by > 2X  i.e 3X - IRS.  If it increases equal ie 2X - CRS. If it increases lesser i.e 1.5X - CRS.

Rsidential Solar Solution:a. A type of photovoltaic solar panel manufactured in China receives a rating of 250W. The rating proc
aksik [14]

Answer:

a) \eta = 13.455\%, b) E_{day} = 812.716\,kJ, c) C_{month. total} = 19.505\, USD, d) t = 40.588\,years

Explanation:

a) The area of the solar panel is:

A = (20\,ft^{2})\cdot (\frac{0.3048\,m}{1\,ft} )^{2}

A = 1.858\,m^{2}

The energy potential is determined herein:

\dot E_{o} = (1000\,\frac{W}{m^{2}} )\cdot (1.858\,m^{2})

\dot E_{o} = 1858\,W

The efficiency of the solar panel is:

\eta = \frac{\dot E}{\dot E_{o}}\times 100\%

\eta = \frac{250\,W}{1858\,W}\times 100\%

\eta = 13.455\%

b) The energy generated by the solar panel is presented below:

E_{day} = (0.135)\cdot (150\,\frac{W}{m^{2}} )\cdot (20\,ft^{2})\cdot \left(\frac{0.3048\,m}{1\,ft} \right)^{2}\cdot (6\,h)\cdot (\frac{3600\,s}{1\,h} )\cdot (\frac{1\,kJ}{1000\,J} )

E_{day} = 812.716\,kJ

c) The energy generated per month and per panel is:

E_{month} = 30\cdot E_{day}

E_{month} = 30 \cdot (812.716\,kJ)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,kWh}{3600\,kJ}  \right)

E_{month} = 6.773\,kWh

Monthly energy savings due to the use of 18 panels are:

C_{month, total} = 18\cdot E_{month}\cdot c

C_{month, total} = 18\cdot (6.773\,kWh)\cdot (\frac{0.16\,USD}{1\,kWh} )

C_{month. total} = 19.505\, USD

d) The payback of the solar energy system is:

t = \frac{9500\,USD}{12\cdot (19.505\,USD)}

t = 40.588\,years

Let’s define a new language called dog-ish. A word is in the lan- guage dog-ish if the word contains the letters ’d’, ’o’, ’g’ a
attashe74 [19]

Answer and Explanation:

// code

class Main {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

       /*

        *

        *

        * your code

        *

        */

       System.out.println(inDogish("aplderogad"));

       System.out.println(inXish("aplderogad", "dog"));

   }

   // returns true if the word is in dog-ish

   // returns false if word is not in dog-ish

   public static boolean inDogish(String word) {

       // first find d

       if (dogishHelper(word, 'd')) {

           // first find string after d

           String temp = word.substring(word.indexOf("d"));

           // find o

           if (dogishHelper(temp, 'o')) {

               // find string after o

               temp = temp.substring(temp.indexOf("o"));

               // find g

               if (dogishHelper(temp, 'g'))

                   return true;

           }

The output is attached below

       }

       return false;

   }

   // necessary to implement inDogish recursively

   public static boolean dogishHelper(String word, char letter) {

       // end of string

       if (word.length() == 0)

           return false;

       // letter found

       if (word.charAt(0) == letter)

           return true;

       // search in next index

       return dogishHelper(word.substring(1), letter);

   }

   // a generalized version of the inDogish method

   public static boolean inXish(String word, String x) {

       if (x.length() == 0)

           return true;

       if (word.length() == 0)

           return false;

       if (word.charAt(0) == x.charAt(0))

           return inXish(word.substring(1), x.substring(1));

       return inXish(word.substring(1), x.substring(0));

   }

}
