A typical coal-fired power plant burns 320 metric tons of coal every hour to generate 2.6×106 MJ of electricity. 1 metric ton = 1000 kg; 1 metric ton of coal has a volume of 1.5 m3. The heat of combustion is 28 MJ/kg. Assume that all heat is transferred from the fuel to the boiler and that all the work done in spinning the turbine is transformed into electrical energy. 1. Suppose the coal is piled up in a 10...

A typical coal-fired power plant burns 290 metric tons of coal every hour to generate 800 MW of electricity. 1 metric ton= 1000 kg. The density of coal is 1500 kg/m3 and its heat of combustion is 28 MJ/kg. Assume that all heat is transferred from the fuel to the boiler and that all the work done in spinning the turbine is transformed into electrical energy. Part A)Suppose the coal is piled up in a 8.0 m × 11 m...

DO PROBLEM 2
Problem 1 Consider a nuclear power plant that produces 1200 MW of power and has a conversion efficiency of 34 percent (that is, for each unit of fuel energy used, the plant produces 0.34 units of electrical energy. Assuming continuous operation, determine the amount of nuclear fuel consumed by the plant per year. Hint: You will have to find out how much energy nuclear fuel produces. Cite your source of information Problem 2 Repeat problem 1 for...

A typical coal-fired power plant burns 270 metric tons of coal every hour to generate 2.9x10^6 MJ of electricity. 1 metric ton= 1000 kg; 1 metric ton of coal has a volume of 1.5m^3. The heat combustion is 28 MJ/kg. Assume that all heat is transferred from the fuel to the boiler and that all the work done in spinning the turbine is transformed into electrical energy. a) Suppose the coal is piled up in a 10m x 11m room....

Search Optimize the operation of a Power Plant to minimize costs. The plant must produce 1000 MWh of electricity while emitting no more than 2500 g of sulfur (to prevent acid rain). Regular coal or low sulfur coal can be used. Regular coal costs $4 coal can be burned with the scrubber oft, in which case regular coal results in the emission of 12 g/MWh of sulfur and low sulfur coal results in 4 g/MWh. NOTE: none of the amounts...
