A plant of \( 10 \) t/h capacity cost \( 25 \) million. Using the six-tenths rule, a \( 20 \) t/h plant would cost about

  • A.37.9 million
  • B.50.0 million
  • C.30.0 million
  • D.25.0 million

Answer: A

Correct answer: 37.9 million

\[ C_2 = 25 \times \left(\frac{20}{10}\right)^{0.6} = 25 \times 2^{0.6} = 25 \times 1.516 = 37.9\ \text{million} \]

Doubling the capacity costs about 52 per cent more, not twice as much - which is the whole argument for building large.
