- we will cover engineering economics. For now, using the Excel Helpmenu, familiarize yourself with the following functions. Create a simpleexample and demonstrate the proper use of the function.a. FV(rate, nper, pmt, pv, type)b. IPMT(rate, per, nper, pv, fv, type)c. NPER(rate, pmt, pv, fv, type)d.

The technologies used to meet secondary treatment standards have a relatively large footprint, it uses a relatively large amount of energy, none of the resources present in the wastewater is being recovered and the operations of the old processes are labor intensive. There is still a large plot of land available next to the existing wastewater treatment plant and the city is currently planning for the construction of a brand new facility at this location. The city management has the vision to build a wastewater resource recovery facility instead of a conventional wastewater treatment plant. The plant will be designed to recover resources from wastewater and to minimize the use of external resources for treatment. It will be designed to reduce the overall greenhouse gas emission by reducing energy consumption and minimizing truck traffic in and out of the plant. The plant will also be…arrow_forwardFor a certain civil engineering system, it is sought to maximize the benefits, which is given by the expression: Z=3x+5y. The decision variables are x (the amount of resource type 1 to be used) and y (the amount of resource type 2 to be used). • The amount of resource type 1 should be at least 3 units. • The amount of resource type 2 should be at least 3 units. The difference between the amount of ● resource type 2 and the amount resource type 1 should not exceed 6. • The total amount of resource types 1 and 2 should not exceed 12 units. a. Identify the obiective function for this problem. b. Identify and write the constraints. c. Provide a sketch graph for the constraint set. d. Clearly show the feasible region. e. Label all extreme points (or vertices) of the feasible region and indicate their coordinates. f. Solve the optimization problem.arrow_forward
