Waterloo North Hydro has two options for upgrading a geothermal
power station to meet new government standards. Assume all interest
is 4.19% compounded annually. Option 1 Waterloo North Hydro will
make the upgrades themselves. This is expected to cost $46,700 per
year from year 1 until the end in 21 years. At the end of the
operation (in 21 years) Waterloo North Hydro expects to sell all
equipment needed for the upgrade for $96,000. Option 2 Pay
experienced contractors. This...

A closed loop overhead conveyor must be designed to deliver
parts from a load station to an unload station. The specified flow
rate of parts between the two stations is 320 parts/hr. The
conveyor has carriers spaced at a center-to-center distance that is
to be determined. Each carrier holds one part. Forward and return
loops are each 75 m. Conveyor speed is 0.6 m/s. Minimum feasible
times to load and unload parts at the respective stations is 0.16
min for...

The Province of Quebec is facing power shortfalls. Quebec Hydro
plans to address this problem by investing in developing coal fired
energy and hydropower facilities in the coming seven years, and
have $1.5 billion with which to do so. Every $ million
spent on coal fired plants will result in 15 megawatts of power
capacity when the plant construction is completed, and every $
million spent on hydropower dams will result in 20 megawatts of
power capacity when the dam...
