Machine A was purchased three years ago for $23,000 and had an estimated MV of $2,300 at the end of its 10-year life. Annual operating costs are $2,300. The machine will perform satisfactorily for the next seven years. A salesperson for another company is offering Machine B for $57,000 with an MV of $5,500 after 10 years. Annual operating costs will be $1,500. Machine A could be sold now for $17,000, and MARR is 15% per year. Compare the before-tax equivalent uniform annual cost, EUAC, of the defender (keeping Machine A) to the challenger (buying Machine B). To answer this problem, calculate the value of the difference in annual costs; EUAC(challenger) – EUAC(defender) = EUAC(Machine B) – EUAC(Machine A). (Enter your answer as a number without the dollar $ sign.)

Think about a turboprop engine (explained in the lecture). The turbine-compressor assembly drives a propeller for the propulsion and it delivers net power of 1.1 MW to the prop. This aircraft was designed to fly at 8km altitude with 550 km/h speed. The atmospheric condition up there is 236K and 0.36 bar. Air enters the diffuser and decelerates to 0 km/h for maximizing the ram effect. The compression ratio is 6.3 and the isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 83%. The turbine has 1360K inlet temperature, and the efficiency is also 83%. The pressure at the turbine exit is 10 kPa higher than the ambient pressure, and assume that the diffuser and nozzle show isentropic behaviors. Kinetic energy except for at the diffuser and the nozzle exit can be neglected. Determine:
a) The mass flow rate in kg/s.
b) The volumetric flow rate in m3/s.
c) The heat rate produced in the combustion in W.
d) The gas velocity leaves the nozzle in m/s.

4) A refrigerator in the kitchen at 30 ° C keeps the food section at -12 ° C. Refrigerant R-134a enters the evaporator located at the back of the freezer section of a home refrigerator with a degree of dryness of 100 kPa and 20 percent and exits at 100 kPa and -20 ° C. Since the compressor consumes 600 W and the COP of the refrigerator is 2.5, a) calculate the minimum flow (kW) required to keep the mass flow of the refrigerant, b) the heat released into the kitchen air (kW), c) the food section at -12 ° C.

A house that is losing heat to the 100C outdoors at an average
rate of 50,000 kJ/h is maintained at 220C at all
times during a winter night for 10 h. The house is to be heated by
50 glass containers each containing 20 L
(1L=10-3 m3
) of water that is heated to 80oC during the day by a solar heater.

back-up electric resistance heater turns on whenever necessary to
keep the house at 220C. Analyse and
determine the following:
