10 tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) is burned directly in a boiler to generate saturated steam at 200°C. Water enters the boiler at 20°C. The heating value of MSW is 18,000 kJ/kg and the boiler efficiency is 75 percent. Determine the amount of steam generated. The generated steam is run through a turbine-generator unit to generate electricity. The steam pressure at the turbine exit is 100 kPa. If the turbine isentropic efficiency is 85 percent and the generator efficiency is 95 percent, determine the amount of electricity produced. How much revenue can be generated if the electricity is sold at a price of $0.11/kWh

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.
