A state is planning to construct a new water treatment plant tomeet the increasing demand for clean drinking water.The proposed plant is designed to treat 50 million gallons of water per day (MGD). Ifthe average daily water consumption per person is 100 gallons, and the state'spopulation is expected to grow by 2% annually over the next five years, calculate:1. The current population served by the water treatment plant.2. The projected population to be served by the water treatment plant in fiveyears.3. The total water demand in the state per day currently.4. The total projected water demand in the state per day in five years.

The human population of Earth in July 2014 was 7.295 billion, and was expected to grow by about 80.245 million over the next year (note that this is a growth of 1.1%). (a) Assuming the population increases by the same number each year, predict the population in July 2017. (b) Instead of growing by a fxed number each year, the global population has a growth rate of about 1.1% per annum. Estimate the population in July 2015, July 2016 and July 2017.
Suppose that a healthy population of some species is growing in a limited environment and that the current population P0 is fairly close to the carrying capacity M0. You might imagine a population of fish living in a freshwater lake in a wilderness area. Suddenly a catastrophe such as the Mount St. Helens volcanic eruption contaminates the lake and destroys a significant part of the food and oxygen on which the fish depend. The result is a new environment with a carrying capacity M1 considerably less than M0 and, in fact, less than the current population P0. Starting at some time before the catastrophe, sketch a “before-and-after” curve that shows how the fish population responds to the change in environment.
Two pumps capable of delivering 100 hp to an agricultural application are being evaluated in a present economy study. The selected pump will only be utilized for one year, and it will have no market value at the end of the year. Pertinent data are summarized as given follows. If electric power costs $0.10 per kWh and the pump will be operated 4,000 hours per year, which pump should be chosen? Recall that 1 hp = 0.746 kW.

It is known that in any given year, • 90% of the people in a city move to the suburbs; • 80% of the people in the suburbs do not move to the city. Given an initial city population of 55,000 and an initial suburb population of 77,000, what are the long-term population levels of the city and the suburb?
An asset having a useful life of 3 years is purchased on 1 January 2015. Cost of the asset is RO 2,000 whereas its residual value is RO 500. Using the Straight Line Method of Depreciation, the book value at the end of second year is _______. a. RO 2000 b. RO 500 c. RO 1000 d. RO 1500
A small city had a population of 130,000 in 2010. Concerned about rapid growth, the residents passed a growth control ordinance limiting population growth to 1.6% each year. If the population grows at this 1.6% annual rate, what will the population be in 2020? What is the maximum growth rate cap that will prevent the population from reaching 180,000 in 2025?
A 120. MW coal plant wants to add a SOx emissions control system to reduce its emissions. The emission control system has a capital cost of $815 per kW and reduces SOx emissions by 98% to 0.0918 kg/MWh. Assume the life of the emission control system is 20 years and the power plant produces 650 GWh/y. a) What is the annualized cost of this system in dollars per year if the discount rate (interest rate) is 7.0 percent/year? What if the discount rate is 4.0 percent/year? b) What is the cost per 1.0399 x 10^4 kWh of electricity usage (the average annual U.S. residential electricity consumption in 2017 according to the EIA) at each of the discount rates specified in part (a)? c) What is the cost per metric ton of SOx removed? (1 metric ton = 1,000 kg = 10^6 g)
