Wrangler Western has some of its jeans stone-washed under a contract with an independent contractor, Almos Garment Corp. If Almos’ operating cost is $22,000 per year for years 1 and 2 and then it increases by 8% per year through year 10, what is the year-zero present worth of the machine operating cost at an interest rate of 10% per year?

Find P in year 1 for geometric gradient and add to amount in year 1; move total back to year 0.
P1 = 22,000 + 22,000[1 – (1.08/1.10)9]/(0.10 – 0.08)
= $189,450
P0 = 189,450(P/F,10%,1)
= 189,450(0.9091)
= $172,229

Air occupies a balloon that has an initial volume of 0.05 m3. Initially, the air has a temperature of 20oC and a pressure of 125 kPa. The air is heated, and the balloon expands until the volume of 0.25 m3. The pressure and volume are related through pVn = constant. Develop a computer program model for analyzing such a process/device. Plot the final temperature of the air, the work done, and the heat transfer for values of n = 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5.
Given: Air; T1 = 20oC = 293 K; P1 = 1000 kPa; V1 = 0.05 m3; V2 = 0.25 m3; PVn = constant Assume: ?KE = ?PE = 0. The air is an ideal gas with constant specific heats (cv = 0.718 kJ/kg-K; R = 0.287 kJ/kg-K) What will be an ideal response?
