A regenerative Rankine cycle operates with inlet conditions of 800°C and 5MPa and exhausts to a pressure of 10kPa. A single open-feedwater heater is used with an extraction pressure of 0.8 MPa. Assume the exit states of the condenser and the feedwater heater are both saturated liquids. The turbine and pump isentropic efficiencies are 100%.

. Complete the following:
a. If the tax multiplier is -1, then the marginal propensity to save is _________ the marginal propensity to consume.
b. If the government spending multiplier is 8, then the marginal propensity to save equals______.
c. If the marginal propensity to consume is two times the marginal propensity to save, then the government spending multiplier equals _______.
d. If the marginal propensity to save is 0.5, then the tax multiplier equals _______.
e. If the marginal propensity to save increases by 10 percent, then the government spending multiplier ________.
f. If the marginal propensity to consume goes from 0.8 to 0.85, then the tax multiplier _________.
g. If the tax multiplier increases (in absolute value) from -1 to -2, this means that the marginal propensity to consume has ______ relative to the marginal propensity to save.
h. If the government spending multiplier decreases from 5 to 4, this means that the marginal propensity to save has _______.

Consider two economies. In economy A: autonomous consumption equals 700, the marginal propensity to consume equals 0.80, taxes are fixed at 50, investment is 100, government spending is 100, and net exports are 40.
In economy B: autonomous consumption equals 1000, the marginal propensity to consume equals 0.8, taxes are proportional to income such that consumers pay 25% of their income as taxes, investment is 250, government purchases are 150, and net exports are 400.
(i) What is the planned aggregate expenditure (PAE) in each economy?
(ii) What is the short-run equilibrium output in each economy?
(iii) In which economy is the spending multiplier higher?
(iv) Suppose autonomous consumption fall by 500 in each economy. Which economy will see a higher drop in GDP? Compute the equilibrium output in each economy.

You proposed a portfolio for your client with 60% in stock A and 40% in stock B. Stock A has an average weekly return of 0.88% and stock B has an average weekly return of 1.32%. Beta for stock A and B are 0.8 and 1.3 respectively. Now you want to deliver a performance report to the client regarding portfolio performance on a weekly basis. (a). What’s the portfolio average weekly return?
(b). What’s the portfolio beta?
(c). You have calculated the portfolio weekly standard deviation: 3.9%. What’s the Sharpe ratio of the portfolio? Assuming weekly market return is 0.9% and weekly riskfree rate is 0.04%.
(d). Still assume the portfolio weekly standard deviation is 3.9%, weekly market return is 0.9% and weekly risk-free rate is 0.04%, what’s Jensen’s Alpha of the portfolio?

A star-connected induction motor has the following rated parameters: Voltage UN = 400 V, current IN = 8 A, frequency fN = 50 Hz, speed nN = 1480 rpm, power factor cos ijN = 0.8, efficiency ȘN = 0.9, magnetizing inductance Lm = 280 mH, stator leakage inductance LVı = 9 mH and rotor leakage inductance LUı = 14 mH.
For the rated operating point of the motor, calculate the per-unit values for electric active power Pel, mechanical power Pmech, magnetizing inductance Lm, stator leakage inductance LVı, rotor leakage inductance LUı, slip s, and the mechanical torque Tmech. Calculate the motor rated power and rated torque (the actual kW and Nm values) using the per-unit values.

2-) Methane gas enters an uninsulated horizontal pipe with a thin wall of 25 cm in diameter at a temperature of (300+ ??) C with 4.5 tons of mass flow per hour and exits at (280+ ??) C. The pipe is smooth and its length is 10 m and the ambient and environmental temperature is 25 C. Since the smear coefficient of the pipe surface is given as 0.8; (?? = school no. last two digits, for example 0611002072; ?? = 72, ie 300 + 72 = 372 C and 280 + 72 = 352 C) a-) Indoor and outdoor convection coefficients (W / m K), b -) Calculate heat loss from the pipe to the environment (W), c-) Surface temperature of the pipe (C), d-) Calculate the required fan power (W) and interpret the results.
