1. A distributing transformer supplies a group of general power customers having a

connected load of 186 kW. Demand factor is 75%. If load factor for the group will
average 45% and energy sells PhP6.78 per kW-hr, what will be the gross monthly
(30-day) income from energy delivered through this transformer? Assume a diversity
factor of 1.5 and the sum of individual maximum demand of customers is equal to the
maximum demand.

2. The daily load curve of a power plant are given by these coordinates:

Time, Hours 12 2 4 6 8 10 12 2 4 6 8 10 12
Load, kW x 1000 2 2.5 3 4 6 6.5 6.5 5 6 8 9 5 3

a) Find the daily load factor

b) All loads in excess of 4000 kW are carried by unit number 2, rated at 6000 kW. Find
its use factor.

3. A rectangular block foundation of an engine installation has the following data:

Weight of engine - - - 1,818.00 kg
SABP - - - - - 86.00 Mtons/sq. mtr.
Bedplate dimension - - - 8.50 mtr. x 5.50 mtr.
Assume that the distance between edges of bedplate and foundation to be 300 mm,
determine the minimum depth of the foundation so that it will be safe against direct
settlement. Also determine the number of bags of Portland cement, and the volume of
aggregates to be used. Make a sketch of the installation.

1. The boiler of a tobacco processing plant burns 4,555 kg per hour of hard black coal with
27% excess air and a heating value of 24,887 j/g. The net stack effect is 25.615 cm of
water. Ambient temperature is 32OC and average gas temperature is 280OC. Atmosphere is
1 Bar. Forced draft fan mechanical efficiency is 60%. Determine the minimum stack height
and the forced draft fan motor capacity of the boiler installation shown below if the
following draft losses in cm of water are considered:
Boiler = 0.508
Superheater = 6.35
Economizer = 4.32
Precipitator = 1.9
Breeching = 1.65
Stack Diameter = 200 cm
