Northern Construction and Engineering plans on opening an office in Duluth. Over the next 25 years, the office is expected to have a positive cash flow of $250,000 per year. In year 25; the office can be sold for $1M. At an interest rate of 12%, what is the equivalent present worth?

Steel is coated with a thin layer of ceramic to protect against corrosion. what do you expect to happen to the coating when the temperature of the steel is increased significantly? explain.

The temperature of air decreases as it is compressed by an adiabatic compressor. a)- true b)- false

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.
