Eh im so dang bored anybody trying to talk 16+

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?

A75mm diameter shaft is supported in a journal bearing 75mm long with a diametral clearance of 0. 1mm. it supports a radial load of 1000 n and is lubricated with sae 50 oil at 70°c. find the friction torque and the power loss when the crankshaft rotates at 2900 rev/min.

Acountershaft is supported by two tapered roller bearings using indirect mounting. the radial bearing loads are 1120 lb for the left-hand bearing and 2190 lb for the right-hand bearing. the shaft rotates at 400 rpm and is to have an l10 life of 40,000 hours and an application factor of 1.4. assume ka2k 15, and find the required radial rating of each bearing
