Atypical coal-fired power plant burns 260 metric tons of coal every hour to generate 2.9×106 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.

suppose the coal is piled up in a 12 m × 8.0 m room. how tall must the pile be to operate the plant for one day?

what is the power plant's thermal efficiency?

Asteam power plant operates on an ideal reheat rankine cycle between the pressure limits of 15 mpa and 10 kpa. the mass flow rate of steam through the cycle is 12 kg/s. steam enters both stages of the turbine at 500°c. if the moisture content of the steam at the exit of the low-pressure turbine is not to exceed 10 percent, determine (a) the pressure at which reheating takes place, (b) the total rate of heat input in the boiler, and (c) the thermal efficiency of the cycle. also, show the cycle on a t-s diagram with respect to the saturation lines. (2.15 mpa; 45.0 mw; 42.6%)
