A. an energy conservation option has a first cost of $50,000. it requires $4000 per year maintenance and saves $10,000 per year in utilities. what is the simple payback period for the option?
b. the system in part a will last 15 years with no salvage value. what is the 15-year life-cycle cost assuming energy cost escalation of 4% annually, maintenance cost escalation of 2% annually, and a 15% discount rate?
tip: using excel will significantly save your time and minimize chance of error
c. assume the option in part a is installed in a building with 200 occupants, with average personnel cost of $60,000 per year. if the device interferes with temperature control, resulting in a 2% decrease in productivity, what would the simple payback be?
put "0" if you answer is "never" (that is less than or equals to 0).
d. assume the option in part b is installed in a building with 200 occupants, with average personnel cost of $60,000 per year. if the device interferes with temperature control, resulting in a 2% decrease in productivity, what would the life-cycle cost?
you can also assume 2% escalation for productivity, meaning that loss will increase by 2% each year.

Apiston-cylinder with a volume of 0.25 m3 holds 1 kg of air (r 0.287 k/kgk) at a temperature of 100 c. heat transfer to the cylinder causes an isothermal expansion of the piston until the volume triples. how much heat is added to the piston-cylinder?

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
