    A typical large coal fired electric power plant produces 1,200MW of electricity by burning fuel with energy content of 3,000 MW. Three hundred and forty (340) MW are lost as heat up the smokestack leaving the rest to drive a generator to produce electricity. However, the thermal efficiency of the turbine is only 45%. That is 45% of the remaining power goes to drive the generator, and 55% is waste heat that must be removed by cooling water. Assume that...

    Here is the energy analysis of the hydronic heating system depicted in the diagram. The boiler plant consists of two identical boilers, each having the following characteristics: • Fuel: natural gas • Burner Type: on/off • Rated Output = 85 kW • Rated Efficiency, nFL = 80% The boilers operate in a “Lead/Lag” arrangement, i.e., Boiler 1 operates first to meet the load (up to its capacity), and Boiler 2 operates as necessary to meet any remaining load. The pump...
