An industry is proposing to construct a new coal-fired power plant that produces 2300 MW electricity with efficiency of 39%. Coal has a heating value of 10,750 Btu/lb, and contains a sulfur content of 2.4%. It is expected that 95% of sulfur will be converted to SO2. The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) limits the SO2 emission rate from any coal-fired power plants to 1.2 lb/ 106 Btu heat input. a) Determine coal consumption in lb/ hr b) Determine SO2...

Need help with these, thank you! True Story: A certain farmer was protesting eminent domain being used to put an electric power line in his field. The farmer placed a coil containing several hundred turnings of copper wire near, but not touching the power line. He was able to steal some electrical power from the line even though his coil was not touching the power line. Which of the following statements is true regarding this situation? A. This method of...

The world electricity consumption is roughly 20,300 TWh per year. We want to cover the total electricity demand of the world by installing solar thermal power in the Sahara desert, where the average daily solar insolation is 6.3 kWh/m^2 . The Sahara has an area of 9,400,000 km^2 . A.) Assuming that the overall efficiency of a solar thermal power plant is 20%, how much area will be needed to cover the world electricity demand? B.) What percentage of the...

In this problem, we're going get a rough estimate the amount of uranium fuel it would take if the US recieved all its electrical power from nuclear power plants. The size of a power plant in normally given as the about of electrical power it can produce when running a full capacity. This electrical power produced can be very different than the mechanical or thermal power that was required to produce this electricity. For example, power plant might have a...

7.26. The conversion of the kinetic energy of wind to electricity may be an attractive altemative to the use of fossil fuels. Typically, wind causes the rotor of a turbine to turn, and a generator converts the rotational kinetic energy ofthe rotor into electricity. Power generated by a wind turbine (Ws) can be estimated from the density of the air (p), wind speed (u), and turbine rotor diameter (D) using the following formula лD? 1 W. ти* х п, where...

Suppose you have a friend who invented a time machine. It consumes 1.21 GW of electricity (though, for some reason, he pronounced it as jiga-watts). However, running low on nuclear fuel, a lightning bolt can supply more than enough (on average 10.0 GW). Having just taken a physics course in college, you point out that that extra energy has to go somewhere. If the duration of power transfer is 2.00s, and the rest of the energy was redirected into a...
