A steam power plant operates on the cycle shown in the following figure. If the isentropic efficiency of the turbine is 87% and the isentropic efficiency of the pump is 85%. Determine (a) the thermal efficiency of the cycle [answer = 36.1%] and (b) the net power output of the plant for a mass flow rate of 15 kg/s. [answer = 18.9 MW]

The director of surgery at a local hospital is interested in understanding his unit’s costs. An assistant collected data for the past 36 months on unit cost (labor, supplies, and so on) along with the number of procedures performed in the unit. The assistant analyzed the data using a spreadsheet program, and the following output was generated. Equation Intercept $ 1,013,000 Coefficient on procedures $ 210 Statistical data Correlation coefficient 0.553 R2 0.303 The unit is planning to perform an average 13,500 procedures per month for the coming year. Required: a. Use the regression output to write the surgical unit cost equation. b. Based on the cost equation, compute the estimated costs for the surgical unit per month for the coming year. c. The director of surgery has asked you for advice on whether he should rely on the estimate.

Pendryl Office Supplies is evaluating the profitability of leasing a photocopier for its customers to use on a self serve basis at 10 cents/copy. The copier may be leased for $300 per month plus 1.5 cents per copy on a full service contract. Pendryl can purchase paper at $5 per 500 sheet ream. Toner costs $100 per bottle, which in normal use will last for 5000 pages. Pendryl thinks that there are additional other costs of 0.5 cents per copy. A. How many copies per month must be sold in order to break even? (6000 copies/month) B. What will be the increase in monthly profit for each 1000 copies sold above the break-even point? ($50 per month)
