Standby power for pumps at water distribution booster stations can be provided by either gasoline-or diesel-powered engines. The estimates for the gasoline engines are as follows:


If the incremental PW-based ROR equation asso­ciated with (Diesel – Gasoline) is
0 = – 40,000 + 11,000(P?A,?i*,15) + 16,000(P?F,?i*,15),
the first cost of the diesel engine is closest to: (choose one)

(a) –190,000
(b) –110,000
(c) –60,000
(d) – 40,000

A 200-ft-long section of a steam pipe whose outer diameter is 4 in passes through an open space at 50°F. The average temperature of the outer surface of the pipe is measured to be 280°F, and the average heat transfer coefficient on that surface is determined to be 6?Btu/h•ft2•°F. Determine (a) the rate of heat loss from the steam pipe and (b) the annual cost of this energy loss if steam is generated in a natural gas furnace having an efficiency of 86 percent and the price of natural gas is $1.10/therm (1 therm = 100,000 Btu).
