In a company there are the following consumptions for energy and energetics. The company works 8 hours a day and consumes an average of 10 kWh/day of electrical energy, its thermal energy production system (heating) works through the combustion of a gas that provides 111.76 kcal/h for each gram that is gas flaring, using an average of 0.25 lbm/h of gas. Fuel is also used in another thermal system that on average consumes 1 lbm/h, whose density is 1.1 g/mL with calorific value of 1193.45 BTU/lbm. If the average costs for energy and energy are of $0.20/kcal. Determine the total cost of energy and energy for each work week (6 days per week). week)
