An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?

Aspherical thermocouple measurement errors a spherical thermocouple made of constantin transfer coefficient between the gas and the thermocouple is h used to measure the temperature of a gas. the heat 400 w/m2 k. calculate the maximum diameter d of the thermocouple if the thermocouple's measurement error should be w 23 within 5% of the initial temperature difference in 5 seconds. for constantin, k 8920 kg/m3, and c 410 j/kg. k.
