In the process of nuclear fusion,

a. two or more nuclei fuse or stick together to form a heavier nucleus whose combined mass is slightly greater than the original nucleus

b. two or more nuclei fuse or stick together to form a heavier nucleus whose combined mass is slightly less than the original nucleus

c. a heavy nucleus breaks apart into a number of smaller nuclei whose combined mass is less than the original nucleus

d. two or more nuclei fuse or stick together to form a heavier nucleus that has exactly the same mass as the original nucleus

Atmospheric air has a temperature (dry bulb) of 80° f and a wet bulb temperature of 60° f when the barometric pressure is 14.696 psia. determine the specific humidity, grains/lb dry air. a. 11.4 c. 55.8 d. 22.5 b. 44.1

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)?
