A 600 MW coal-fired power plant has an overall thermal efficiency of 38%. It is burning coal that has a heating value of 12,000

Btu/lb, an ash content of 5%, a sulfur content of 3.0%, and a CO2 emission factor of 220lb/million Btu. Calculate the heat emitted to the environment (Btu/sec), the coal feed rate (tons/day), the degree (%) of sulfur dioxide control needed to meet an emission standard of 0.15 lb SO2/million Btu of heat input, and the CO2 emission rate (metric tons/day).
I know that the heat emitted in Btu/seconds = 927,865 Btu/second and that the feed rate is 5805 tons/day however I am having trouble with the SO2 content and the COs emission rate.

Answer:

See step by step explanations for answer.

Explanation:

600 megawatts =

568 690.272 btu / second

thermal eficiency=work done/Heat supllied

0.38=568690.272/Heat supplied

Heat supplied=1496553.35btu /s

heat emmitted to the atmosphere=heat supplied -work done=(1496553.35-568690.272)=927863.1 btu/s

feed rate=(1496553.35)/12000=124.71 lb/s =10775184.1056 lb/day=5 387.472 ton / day

sulphur content released=(0.03*124.71)/(1.496553)=2.5 lb SO2/million Btu of heat input

so

the degree (%) of sulfur dioxide control needed to meet an emission standard=(2.5/0.15)*100=1666.67 %

the CO2 emission rate=220*(1.496553) =329.241 lb/s =12 903.0802 metric ton / day

A heat engine is coupled with a dynamometer. The length of the load arm is 900 mm. The spring balance reading is 16. Applied wei
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

P = 80.922 KW

Explanation:

Given data;

Length of load arm is 900 mm = 0.9 m

Spring balanced  read 16 N

Applied weight is 500 N

Rotational speed is 1774 rpm

we know that power is given as

P = T\times \omega

T Torque = (w -s) L = (500 - 16)0.9 = 435.6 Nm

\omega angular speed =\frac{2 \pi N}{60}

Therefore Power is

P =\frac{435.6 \time 2 \pi \times 1774}{60} = 80922.65  watt

P = 80.922 KW

What is an advantage of a nuclear-fission reactor?.
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Nuclear fission is almost 8,000 times more efficient than traditional fossil fuels at producing energy. That's a lot of energy packed into a small space. Nuclear energy is more efficient, which means it uses less fuel to power the plant and produces less waste.


advantages:
-produces no polluting gases
-does not contribute to global warming
-very low fuel costs
-Low fuel quantity reduces mining and transportation effects on environment
-High technology research required benefits other industries
-Power station has very long lifetime

Disadvantages:
-Waste is radioactive and safe disposal is very difficult and expensive
-Local thermal pollution from wastewater affects marine life
-Large-scale accidents can be catastrophic
-Public perception of nuclear power is negative
-Costs of building and safely decommissioning are very high
-Cannot react quickly to changes in electricity demand

A three-point bending test was performed on an aluminum oxide specimen having a circular cross section of radius 5.0 mm (0.20 in
Sonja [21]

The load is 17156 N.

<u>Explanation:</u>

First compute the flexural strength from:  

σ = FL / πR^{3}

   = 3000 \times (40 \times 10^-3) / π (5 \times 10^-3)^3

σ = 305 \times 10^6 N / m^2.

We can now determine the load using:

F = 2σd^3 / 3L

  = 2(305 \times 10^6) (15 \times 10^-3)^3 / 3(40 \times 10^-3)

F = 17156 N.
