options! Only select answers that you are sure are correct.
Advanced Al-Li alloys offer improved specific fracture toughness and fatigue properties, offering customers potential savings in fuel and
maintainance costs.
5000 series Al-alloys are expected to see wide use in future airframes due to improved corrosion resistance.
Aircraft manufacturers are considering applications of advanced Al-Li alloys because they offer increased specific stiffness compared to
conventional aluminium alloys.
Airframe manufacturers are seeking alloys that offer improved corrosion resistance mainly because this allows significant weight savings and
therefore a reduction in fuel costs.
Advanced Al-Li alloys offer an order magnitude increase in strength compared to current alloys, so are a competitive material for wing skins in
future civil aircraft.
Airframe manufacturers are seeking alloys that offer improved corrosion resistance because this offers airlines the benefit of reduced
maintainance costs.

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)?
