A liquid food product is processed in a continuous flow sterilizer. The liquid enters the sterilizer at a temperature and flow rate of Tm, i,h=20C, mdot = 1kg/s, respectively. A time-at-temperature constraint requires that the product be held at a mean temperature of Tm=90C for 10s to kill bacteria, while a second constraint is that the local product temperature cannot exceed Tmax = 230C in order to preserve a pleasing taste. The sterilizer consists of an upstream, Lh=5m heating section characterized by uniform heat flux, an intermediate insulated sterilizing section, and a downstream cooling setion of length Lc=10m. The cooling section is composed of uninsulated tube exposed to a quiescent environment at Tinfinity=20C. The thin-walled tubing is of diameter D = 40mm. Food properites are similar to those of liquid water at T=330K. Find: (a) Healt flux required in heating section to ensure a maximum mean product temperature of Tm=90C (b) Location and value of the maximum local product temperature (c) Minimum length of the sterilizing section needed to satisfy the time-at-temperature constraint.

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)?
