Millard Manufacturing must replace one of its pumps. The net present cost of Alternative A is $8,956, Alternative B is $5,531, and Alternative C is $4,078. Alternative A is expected to last for 12 years; Alternative B has a life expectancy of 7 years; and Alternative C is expected to last for 5 years. If Millard's MARR is 5%, which alternative (if any) should be chosen using EUAC (Equivalent Uniform Annual Cost)?

A small community had a population of 65000 and 85000 in the census year of 1991 and 2001 respectively. Assuming a geometric growth rate and an average water consumption of 300lpcd, Calculate the design flow for the treatment plant and the transmission mains. Select an appropriate value of design period. I will report and downvote wrong answers
A public utility is trying to decide between two different sizes of pipe for a new water main. A 250-mm line will have an initial cost of P1,600,000, whereas a 300-mm line will cost P1,840,000. Since there is more head loss through the 250-mm pipe, the pumping cost for the smaller line is expected to be P100,000 per year more than for the 300-mm line. If the pipes are expected to last for 15 years, which size should be selected if the interest rate is 12% semi-annually? Use AW, PW, and FW methods in your solution analysis.

Consider that water is pumped a distance equal to the last three digits of 917551848 in kilometer from a reservoir (Reservoir A) at mean sea level elevation to a second reservoir (Reservoir B) at elevation 50 ft. above mean sea level. The pipeline connecting the reservoirs has a diameter of 60 in and is constructed of concrete with an absolute roughness of 0.003. If the flow is equal to 917551848 in liter per week and the efficiency of the pumping station is 75%, what will be the monthly power bill if electricity costs is the same as the highest rate of the electricity provider of your community in cents/kwh?

l. The diversion requirement of a 5-ha farm was estimated to be 10mm/day during peak periods. If the pumping plant has a 60% efficiency, how many kilowatt-hour energy is required to lift water 5 meters?
A company needs to decide which option is the most advantageous, in terms of emptying time and head loss, to flow a load of 3 m of water from one reservoir. The first option would be through a small circular hole 0.3 m in diameter, and the second option would be to attach a long external nozzle of equal dimension to this orifice.Determine which of the options sought is the shortest emptying time and the least head loss, justify the results found and indicate which option should be chosen. Data Provided:Discharge coefficiente (orifice) = 0.61; Contraction Coefficient (orifice) = 0.62; Discharge coefficent (nozzle) = 0.82; Contraction Coefficient (nozzle) = 1; Reservoir area = 5m²
