Analyze heat lost from a 6-inch OD steam line. The line carries high-pressure steam throughout the factory at 400 psi, 400 oF. Specify type and thickness for insulating the steam line. Compare the cost of energy lost with and without pipe insulation. You can assume steam is generated 8000 hours/year. Compare energy cost reductions based upon a gas fired boiler and a fuel oil fired boiler. Assume boiler energy input at 6.5(106) Btu/hr.

Weekly tasks or assignments (Individual or Group Projects) will be due by Monday and late submissions will be assigned a late penalty in accordance with the late penalty policy found in the syllabus. NOTE: All submission posting times are based on midnight Central Time.Key Assignment Draft You are starting your own Internet business. You decide to form a company that will sell cookbooks online. Justcookbooks.com is scheduled to launch 6 months from today. You estimate that the annual cost of this business will be as follows:Technology (Web design and maintenance)$5,000Postage and handling$1,000Miscellaneous$3,000Inventory of cookbooks$2,000Equipment$4,000Overhead$1,000Part IDeliverable Length: 1 graph plus calculationsYou must give up your full-time job, which paid $50,000 per year, and you worked part-time for half of the year.The average retail price of the cookbooks will be $30, and their average cost will be $20.Assume that the equation for demand is Q = 40,000 – 500P, whereQ = the number of cookbooks sold per monthP = the retail price of books.Show what the demand curve would look like if you sold the books between $25 and $35.Address the following questions:What is the elasticity of the demand for cookbooks bought this way?Is the business worth pursuing so far?Suppose that you expect to sell about 22,000 cookbooks per month online, and assume your overhead, technology, and equipment costs are fixed. What are your total costs?What are your marginal costs?What market structure have you entered, and why?What can you do to guarantee success in this market?What pricing strategy might you use?
