A chemical industry produces 200 tons of sulfuric acid per day when running at 24 hours. The acid is cooled in a counter flow double pipe heat exchanger from 60 0C to 40 0C. The cooling medium employed is water, which enters the heat exchanger at 15 0C and leaves at 20 0C. The acid flows through the inner pipe, while water flows through the annulus. The inner and outer diameters of the inner pipe are 70 mm and 80...

Suppose at the price of $8 per ton of flour, quantity demand for flour is 50 thousand tons. However when price changes to $12 per ton, quantity demand for flour decreases to 40 thousand tons and at the same time quantity demand for rice increases from 20 thousand tons to 35 thousand tons. Calculate Price Elasticity of Demand for flour and comment. Calculate Cross Elasticity of Demand between rice and flour and comment.

A particular single-machine workstation has a capacity of 1,000 units per day and variability is moderate, such that V = (SCV of arrivals + SCV of effective process time)/2 = 1. Demand is currently 900 units per day. Suppose management has decided that cycle times should be no longer than 1.5 times the average process time. A) What is the current cycle time in multiples of the process time? (i.e. if the current cycle time was 2 times longer than...
