A chemical engineer at Western Refining estimated the total cost for a diesel fuel desulfurization system at $2.3 million. If the direct cost factor is 1.55 and the indirect cost factor is 0.43, what is the total equipment cost? Both factors apply to delivered equipment cost.
The delivered equipment cost for a fully equipped CNC machining system is $1.6 million. The direct cost factor is 1.52 and the indirect cost factor is 0.31. Estimate the total plant cost if the indirect cost factor applies to (a) the delivered equipment cost only, and (b) the total direct cost.
The cost for implementing a manufacturing process that has a capacity of 6000 units per day was $550,000. If the cost for a plant with a capacity of 100,000 units per day was $3 million, what is the value of the exponent in the cost-capacity equation?
A mini-wind tunnel for calibrating vane or hotwire anemometers costs $3750 in 2011 when the Marshall and Swift (M&S) equipment cost index value was 1490.2. If True-Tech Instruments estimated the cost of a wind tunnel twice as large to be $10,200 in 2016, what did it expect the equipment cost index value to be, provided the equipment cost increased accordingly? The cost-capacity equation exponent is 0.89.
The cost for construction of a desulfurization system for flue gas from boilers at a 600 MW power plant was estimated to be $250 million. If a similar system for a smaller plant had a cost of $55 million and the exponent in the cost-capacity equation is 0.67, what is the size of the smaller plant that served as the basis for the cost projection?
