Chapter 2.8, Problem 2.130ACI
Spreading rate of spilled liquid A contract engineer at DuPont Corp. studied the rate at which a spilled volatile liquid will spread across a surface (Chemical Engineering Progress. January 2005). Assume 50 gallons of methanol spills onto a level surface outdoors. The engineer used derived empirical formulas (assuming a state of turbulent-free convection) to calculate the mass (in pounds) of the spill after a period of time

Total monthly fuel and wind-power costs are now averaging $6,800,000. An engineer with the utility has calculated the average revenue for the past 24 months using three fuel-mix and wind-power situations: all gas, < 30% other or wind, and ≥ 30% other or wind. The table below shows the number of months for each situation and the associated revenue. If the same situation persists for the next 2 years, determine whether the utility’s revenue will be greater or less than the costs and by how much. Fuel/Wind Situation Months in Past 24 Average Revenue, $/Month All gas 12 $5,270,000 < 30% other/wind 9 $7,850,000 ≥ 30% other/wind 3 $12,130,000arrow_forward
