The total construction of a sewage treatment plant with a capacity of 50 million gallons per day completed 2013 in Wichita, Kansas was $6.5 million. It was proposed that a similar treatment plant with a capacity of 80 million gallons per day be built in Los Angeles, California, for completion in 2020. For the additional information given below, perform an prder of magnitude estimate of the cost of the proposed plant using the following steps in order:

a) In the total construction cost for the Wichita, Kansas plant, there was an item of $0.5 million for site preparation which is not typical for similar plants
b) The variation of sizes of the refineries can be approximated by the cost capacity factor with m=0.6
c) The inflation rate is expected to be 5% per year from 2011 to 2021
d) The location index is 0.84 for Wichita, Kansas and 1.04 for Los Angeles. These indices are deemed to be appropriate for adjusting thee costs between these two cities
e) New air pollution equipment for the Los Angeles plant costs $0.7 million in 2020 (not required in the Wichita plant)
f) The contingency cost due to inclement weather delay will be reduced by the amount of 1% of total construction cost because of the favorable climate in Los Angeles (compared to Wichita)

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)?

1in2 processor chip can be modelled as an isothermal plane wall of silicon, isothermal on both sides. the power input to the bottom of the plane wall, or the processing power of the chip, often called the thermal design power (tdp), is 100w. assume the periphery is adiabatic. the silicon is 400 microns thick. the temperature at the junction, or in this case on the bottom of the isothermal plane wall, is 85°c. what is the top surface temperature, assuming that the only mode of heat transfer is conduction
