A new 1.2-ha suburban residential development is to be drained by a storm sewer that connects to the municipal drainage system. The development is considered mostly of single-family dwellings and is characterized by a Manning roughness coefficient for overland flow of 0.20, an average flow length of 200-ft, and an average slope of 0.7%. Local drainage regulations require the sewer pipe to be sized for the peak runoff resulting from a 10-yr rainfall event and a minimum time of concentration of 5-minutes. The following 10-yr IDF curve describes the site rainfall conditions expressing rainfall intensity, (inch/hour), as a function of storm duration, ( minutes): =315.50.81+ 6.19Estimate (a) the time of concentration for this site using kinematic-wave equation, and (b) the peak runoff rate to be handled by the storm sewe

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)?

An engine, weighing 3000 n, is supported on a pedestal mount. it has been observed that the engine induces vibration into the surrounding area through its pedestal at the maximum operating speed. determine the stiffness of the dynamic vibration absorber spring in (n/m) that will reduce the vibration when mounted on the pedestal. the magnitude of the exciting force is 250 n, and the amplitude of motion of the auxiliary mass is to be limited to 2 mm note: in this question type-in right numbers, no decimals, no fractions, no unit. approximate to right number if needed
