1. Calculate the primary NAAQS concentration limit for 502 in units of ug/m' at standard temperature...
Assuming compliance with NAAQs, predict the daily rates of emissions of particulates, NO_s, SO_s, and Hg from a coal-fired power plant producing 1000 MW of electrical power at an overall thermal efficiency of 40%. Assume coal contains 1.6% sulphur and has a heating value of 10, 500 Btu/lb. Estimate the daily emissions of particulates from a solid-waste incinerator emitting oat 0.18 g/dsem. The incinerator burns 50 tons per day and exhausts gases in a ratio of 20 kg of gases...
You are in charge of a combustion furnace. The furnace is fed an air stream and a methane stream which is combusted to produce heat that is used to boil water and produce steam for your plant. The combustion of fuels using an air stream which contains nitrogen generally produces significant amounts of NO, compounds which are an air pollutant, so the exhaust gases must generally be removed through various processes. In this case, your furnace exhaust is passed through...
A combined gas-steam power plant uses a simple gas turbine for the topping cycle and a simple Rankine cycle for the bottoming cycle. Atmospheric air enters the compressor at 101 kPa and 20 °C, and the maximum gas cycle temperature is 1100 °C. The compressor pressure ratio is 8. The gas stream leaves the heat exchanger at the saturation temperature of the steam flowing through the heat exchanger. Steam enters the heat exchanger at a pressure of 6 MPa and...
1. Exhaust gas at 400 C and 1 bar from i engines flows at the rate of 125 mol s into a waste-heat boiler where saturated steam in generated at a pressure of 1200 kPa. Water enters the boiler at 20 C (Ta) and the exhaust gases are cooled to within 10°C of the steam temperature. The heat capacity of the exhaust gases is C/R-3.341.12x10 T/K. The steam flows into an adiabatic turbine and exhausts at a pressure of 25...
9) An insulated container contains V liters of hot water at temperature T. If M kg of ice at 0 °C is added to the water, what is the temperature of the system when it reaches equilibrium? Reminder, for water: 1L = 1 kg Cwater = 4190 Cice = 2100 ROK Lboll = 2.26 x 106 steam kg = 2000 .,Lmelt = 3.33 x 105 kg kg kg 10) In an engine, after the fuel is ignited, there is a...
