Chemical Engineering Plant Economics If an amount R is paid at the end of every year for 'n' years, then the net present value of the annuity at an interest rate of i is R/(1 + i)n R[((1 + i)n - 1)/i] [((1 + i)n - 1)/i(1 + i)n] R(1 + i)n R/(1 + i)n R[((1 + i)n - 1)/i] [((1 + i)n - 1)/i(1 + i)n] R(1 + i)n ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Chemical Engineering Plant Economics Chemical engineering plant cost index is used for finding the present cost of a particular chemical plant, if the cost of similar plant at some time in the past is known. The present cost of the plant = original cost x (index value/(index value at original cost was obtained)The most major component of this cost index is Electrical equipments and material Pumps and compressor Process instruments and control Fabricated equipment and machinery Electrical equipments and material Pumps and compressor Process instruments and control Fabricated equipment and machinery ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
