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...

You are assigned to help an aged 30% efficient 800-MW coal-fired power plant in Indonesia. You learnt that a warning has been issued to this power plant demanding that the rate of SO2 emission from this power plan has to be reduced to no more than 0.6 kg s. You find out that every million BTU of heat supplying into this aged plant emits 0.8 lb of SO2. Since this power plant is aged, its power generation can be easily...

Please answer Questions e-f-g-h: (a) The boiler of a power plant operates at a maximum temperature of 750oC. The condenser of the power plant draws in cooling water at 20oC. What is the theoretical maximum efficiency of the plant? (b) Now suppose that a real power plant is built to have an efficiency that is 80% of the theoretical efficiency. The power plant needs to generate 1GW (giga-watt) of power. How much energy (per second) needs to be supplied by...
Case problem 5 : Duke Energy Coal Allocation*
Duke Energy manufactures and distributes electricity to customers in the United States and Latin America. Duke recently purchased Cinergy Corporation, which has generating facilities and energy customers in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio. For these customers Cin- ergy has been spending $725 to $750 million each year for the fuel needed to operate its coal-fired and gas-fired power plants; 92% to 95% of the fuel used is coal. In this region, Duke Energy uses 10 coal-burning generating plants: five located inland...

4. Consumers Energy Inc (CSI) operates a coal fired power plant in Michigan, which has to come in compliance with nitrogen oxide (NOx) standards by reducing its NOx emissions to 50 tons per year from its current level of 150 tons/year. It is considering the following options to come in compliance. A) Install Selective Catalytic Reactor (SCR) on its boiler. SCR reduces NOx emissions by absorbing NOx in exhaust flue gases. SCR requires a capital investment of $600,000 in year...

A nuclear power plant generates 3000 MW of heat energy from nuclear reactions in the reactor's core. This energy is used to boil water and produce high-pressure steam at 320 ∘C. The steam spins a turbine, which produces 1000 MW of electric power, then the steam is condensed and the water is cooled to 25∘C before starting the cycle again. Part A: What is the maximum possible thermal efficiency of the power plant? Part B: Cooling water from a river...
