Showing all of your work and algebra, generate an approximate expression for T as a function ofthe other variables. (b) Explain why your solution is only anapproximation. In particular, do you expect the velocity profilein the gap to remain linear as the gap becomes larger andlarger (i. e., if the outer radius Rowere to increase, all elsestaying the same)?

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)?
