Calculate the annual fuel costs for 10MW power plants based on the following cycles. The fuel is hybrid poplar available at $48/Mg at 20% moisture. Hint: The energy required to evaporate the moisture of the wood is incorporated into the facility efficiency. The percent moisture affects how much biomass to purchase. a. Conventional steam power plant with a heat rate of 14,000 BTU/kWh. b. Integrated gasification/combined cycle (IGCC). The gasification of the biomass is 85% efficient. The Brayton and Rankine cycles operate at 30% and 25% efficiency, respectively, due to the small plant size. Hint: Use the combined cycled efficiency equation for the combined efficiency of the Brayton and Rankine cycles. Hint: For the overall efficiency, multiply the gasification efficiency by the combined efficiency. c. Why is the Brayton cycle the topping cycle and the Rankine cycle the bottoming cycle

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.
