An electric plant that produces 10 x 109 kwh/year has an annual investment expenditure of $43.5 x 10/year for an expected lifetime of 25 years, with no remaining salvage value. the capital cost of the plant is repaid at 5% discount or interest rate. total annual operating cost at the plant is $20 x 106/year, and annual return to investors at 5% of the operating cost plus capital repayment cost.

(a) what is the levelized cost of electricity in $/wh?
(b) if they charge at this cost and assuming no other cost, estimate when will they reach breakeven point?
(c) if they charge at this cost and assuming no other cost, estimate the return on investment, if any?

Refrigerant 134a enters an insulated compressor operating at steady state as saturated vapor at -26°c with a volumetric flow rate of 0.18 m3/s. refrigerant exits at 9 bar, 70°c. changes in kinetic and potential energy from inlet to exit can be ignored. determine the volumetric flow rate at the exit, in m3/s, and the compressor power, in kw.
