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)

A2-m rigid tank initially contains saturated water vapor at 100 kpa. the tank is connected to a supply line through a valve. steam is flowing in the supply line at 600 kpa and 300 c. the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to enter the tank until the pressure in the tank reaches the line pressure, at which point the valve is closed. a thermometer placed in the tank indicates that the temperature at the final state is 200Ā°c. determine (a) the mass of steam that has entered the tank (b) the amount of heat transfer.
