Capital Cost Calculations
Capital cost is the sum of the unit reactor cost and lamp cost:
\[C_{cap,tot} = C_{cap,reactor}+C_{cap,lamp}\]\[C_{cap,reactor} = C_F * F_{in} C_{cap,lamp} = C_l * E\]
Operating Cost Calculations
Fixed operating cost depends on the electricity demand of lamps, \(E\), as shown in the equation below:
\[C_{op,tot} = f * C_l * E\]
