The thermal (0.0253 e V) cross-section for the production of a 54-minute isomer of 1 16 In via the (n, y) reaction with 1 15 In is 1 57 b. A thin indium foil weighing 0. 15 g is placed in the beam tube described in Problem 5.16. (a) At what rate are thermal

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)?
