A. for a least-cost combination of power plants, how many mw of each kind of power plant should the utility have? b. what would the cost of electricity be ($/kwh) for the gas turbines size in a?

Steel is coated with a thin layer of ceramic to protect against corrosion. what do you expect to happen to the coating when the temperature of the steel is increased significantly? explain.

Water in a partially filled large tank is to be supplied to the roof top, which is 8 m above the water level in the tank, through a 2.2-cm-internal-diameter pipe by maintaining a constant air pressure of 300 kpa (gage) in the tank. if the head loss in the piping is 2 m of water, determine the discharge rate of the supply of water to the roof top in liters per second.

Ahot wire operates at a temperature of 200°c while the air temperature is 20°c. the hot wire element is a tungsten wire of 5 um diameter and 2 mm in length. plot using excel current, heat transfer and heat generated by the wire for air velocity varying from 1-10 m/s in steps of lm/s? matlab the sensor voltage output, resistance, or assume nu 0.989 re033pr13 take air properties at tr (200°c20°c)/2 = 110°c properties of tungsten: c 0.13 kj/kg.k 3 p 19250 kg/m k (thermal conductivity) = 174 w/m.k
