A chemical engineer at Western Refining esti­mated the total cost for a diesel fuel desulfuriza­tion system at $2.3 million. If the direct cost factor is 1.55 and the indirect cost factor is 0.43, what is the total equipment cost? Both factors apply to de­livered equipment cost.

What will be an ideal response?


2,300,000 = (1 + 1.55 + 0.43)CE
CE = $771,812

The greatest advantage of the carburizing process is that:

A) Low carbon steels can be made very hard on the surface only, while the core remains soft and tough B) A case hardened part can remain as hard as Rc60 all the way through without the need for tempering and still be just as hard as a similar tempered part C) Surface hardening can be done on any ferrous metal that contains sufficient carbon. Induction heating and flame hardening are two methods used. Lathe ways and gears are examples D) It makes possible the hardening of thicker sections completely through while using an oil quench to avoid distortion
