The diameter of the discharge and suction pipe of a boiler feed pump is 4 inches and 6 inches, respectively. The water delivered is 250 GPM and the temperature is 60 F. The discharge pressure near the pump is 90 psig and the suction is 12 in.hg vacuum. Find the total dynamic head if the discharge gage is located 3 ft above pump centerline and the vacuum gage connection to the suction pipe is 2 feet below the center of the pump. Assume that the head necessary to overcome the frictional resistance through the pump is 2.20 feet.

A solenoid wound with 2020 turns/m is supplied with current that varies in time according to I = (4 A)sin(120πt), where t is in s. A small coaxial circular coil of 40 turns and radius r = 4.1 cm is located inside the solenoid near its center. (a) Derive an expression that describes the manner in which the emf in the small coil varies in time. (Use the following as necessary: t.) (b) At what average rate is energy transformed into internal energy in the small coil if the windings have a total resistance of 8.00 Ω?

You are assessing the viability of operating an amusement park. The nominal revenues from ticket sales at the end of Year 1 will be $554176. They will increase by 4% per year in real terms. The only annual cost will be to lease the whole operation for $118845 per year. The leasing costs are nominal and will start at the end of Year 1. They will stay fixed in nominal terms.
Assume the inflation rate is 5% and the real discount rate is 10%. All cash flows occur at year-end. The company will not pay any taxes. The business will continue into perpetuity.
What is the NPV of the project?
Select one:
a. $6921840

Evans:
Evans Enterprises has bought a prime parcel of beachfront property and plans to build a luxury hotel. After meeting with the architectural team, the Evans family has drawn up some information to make preliminary plans for construction. Excluding the suites, which are not part of this decision, the hotel will have four kinds of rooms: beachfront non-smoking, beachfront smoking, lagoon view non-smoking, and lagoon view smoking. To decide how many of each of the four kinds of rooms to plan for, the Evans family will consider the following information.
After adjusting for expected occupancy, the average nightly revenue for a beachfront non-smoking room is $175. The average nightly revenue for a lagoon view non-smoking room is $130. Smokers will be charged an extra $15.
Construction costs vary. The cost estimate for a lagoon view room is $12,000 and for a beachfront room is $15,000. Air purifying systems and additional smoke detectors and sprinklers ad $3000 to the cost of any smoking room. Evans Enterprises has raised $6.3 million in construction guarantees for this portion of the building.
There will be at least 120 but no more than 180 beachfront rooms.
Design considerations require that the number of lagoon view rooms be at least 1.5 times the number of beachfront rooms, and no more than 2.5 times that number.
Industry trends recommend that the number of smoking rooms be no more than 50% of the number of non-smoking rooms.
There should be at least 45 rooms of each kind.
