Announcements (previous ones)

  • Some hints for the current assignment:
    • Updated: The due date is Tuesday 23 October, at class.
    • Costing should be done for 2011.
    • Cost of steam: a publication from the DOE.
    • Another good article on pricing steam
    • From the above 2 articles you will gather that steam generation is a complex "mini-plant" in its own right, usually generating it using natural gas as an energy source. So if you find an outdated steam price, ratio it against the price of natural gas to get current pricing.
    • ACO pricing is hard to come by, but ACO has similar physical properties to palmitic acid, or hexadecanoic acid. In the absence of better information, you may use this for pricing instead.


  • The slides used in class (the ones with answers filled in) are available for download from the economics and safety sections respectively.


  • Regarding the safety tutorial/workshop on Monday:
    • an hour-long video will be shown, followed by writing a short group report
    • the submission is due in the tutorial time slot and will be graded as pass/fail
    • please be at the tutorial on-time so we can start the video
    • black/white copies of the tutorial PDF will be available, but you might prefer to print the handout in colour and bring it with you.
