Hi my name is Alejandro and I would like to discuss and uncover the roles of an engineer and acquire some knowledge in the engineering profession no matter, the degree, as long as it falls in the engineering principles since college enrollment is nearing and would like to make the final decision on what engineering path I would like to take in the future. Thanks, respond if you have the time for a 10 minute interview/ questionaire. A reason at the soonest would be dearly appreciated.​

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)?
