Afirm is considering which of two mechanical devices to install to reduce cost devices a and b have service lives of 5 and 10 years. respectively device a costs $1,200 and can be expected to result in $400 savings annually. device b costs $1,500 and will provide cost savings of $325 the fist year but will increase $40 annually making second year savings $365 , the third year savings $405 and so forth. salvage values for devices a and b are $100 and $150 respectively. with interest at 5% which device should the firm purchase

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.
