Two construction materials industries J&J cement and B&B Bitumen are situated side by side. Each year, B&B bitumen purchases
about 501 tonnes of lime kiln dusts produced by J&J cement to use as filler in bitumen at $10/tonne. This avoids B&B Bitumen to
purchase 455 tonnes hydrated lime per year for filler materials. The market price of hydrated lime is 40/tonne. What is the
annual economic benefit of B&B Bitumen from this industrial symbiotic relationship?(Dont write $ sign. Just write the whole
number what you get, dont covert to kilo or million. For example, write 500,000, dont write 500k or 0.5 million. Calcualte answer

The air temperature is measured with a thermometer that is not affected by the wind. However, the rate of heat loss from the skier increases with wind velocity, and the wind-chill temperature is the temperature that would result in the same rate of heat loss in still air as occurs at the measured air temperature with the existing wind. Suppose that the inner temperature of a 3-mm-thick layer of skin with a thermal conductivity of 0.35 W/m K is and the air temperature is . Under calm ambient conditions the heat transfer coefficient at the outer skin surface is about (see Table 1.4), but in a 40-mph wind it increases to .
