Utilisation Factor of Plant Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Utilisation Factor of Plant?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

UF = \frac{Max Demand}{Plant Capacity}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

UF = \frac{1700kW}{2875kW}

Next Step Convert Units

∴

UF = \frac{1.7E+6W}{2.9E+6W}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

UF = \frac{1.7E+6}{2.9E+6}

Next Step Evaluate

∴

UF = 0.591304347826087

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

UF = 0.5913
