(i) PW, Plan A (RM Billion) = - [0.577 x P/A(8%, 4) + 0.577 x P/A(8%, 4) x P/F(8%, 6)]
= - [0.577 x 3.3121** + 0.577 x 3.3121** x 0.6302**] = - (1.9110 + 1.2043)
= -3.1153
(ii) PW, Plan B (RM Billion) = - 0.52 x P/A(8%, 10) = - 0.52 x 6.7101**
= -3.489
(iii) Select Plan A [since it has lower PW of costs].

American Electric Power agreed to spend $4.6 billion to clean up 46 coal-fired power plants that are believed to be contributing to acid rain. The plan is to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by 69% by 2016 and sulfur dioxide emissions by 79% by 2018. Assume Plan A is to spend $0.575 billion per year in years 1 through 4 and an additional $0.575 billion per year in years 7 through 10. Plan B is to spend $0.46 billion in each...
Consider two separate, hypothetical 1.05 GWe coal-fired electric power plants. Both have overall efficiencies of 35% (C>E) and operate continuously through one year. One uses air in combustion and the other uses pure oxygen (O2) - both in stoichiometric combustion with coal, simulated as elemental carbon (C). Estimate the mass flow rate of CO2 out the flue stack (in metric tons/year) and the volumetric fractions of CO2 in the flue gas in both plants. Which is easier to equip with...
4. Consumers Energy Inc (CSI) operates a coal fired power plant in Michigan, which has to come in compliance with nitrogen oxide (NOx) standards by reducing its NOx emissions to 50 tons per year from its current level of 150 tons/year. It is considering the following options to come in compliance. A) Install Selective Catalytic Reactor (SCR) on its boiler. SCR reduces NOx emissions by absorbing NOx in exhaust flue gases. SCR requires a capital investment of $600,000 in year...
