Update on the midterm : the midterm has been rescheduled to 29 October 2012, starting at 19:00 (please be at the venue from 18:45 onwards). It will be written in T29, room 101.

As requested in the course evaluation, some practice questions have been posted.

Some hints for the current assignment:
- Costing should be done for 2011.
- Cost of steam
- Steam systems are complex "mini-plants" on their own, generating steam usually from natural gas. If you find an outdated steam price, ratio it against the price of natural gas to get current pricing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,
