  1. A coal fired plant burns 1000 metric tons of coal per day at 2% sulfur. ( 1 metric ton = 1000 kg).  
    1. What is the SO2 emission rate?
    2. What is the SO2 concentration 1.0 km downwind(x = 1000m)?
    3. 0.1 km off centerline in y direction (y = 100m)? and
    4. At ground level (z = 0) wind speed is 4 m/s and it’s a cloudy day?

At ground level (z = 0) wind speed is 4 m/s and it’s a cloudy day?

A power plant burns 100 metric tons of coal per day with a sulfur content of 5%. The coal contains 3% ash (noncombustible portion). Samples of the ash show that it has a sulfur content of 10% sulfur by weight. Sulfur that is not in the ash is in the flue gases. How many metric tons of SO2 are emitted from the smoke stack each day? (Hint: Apply mass balance to find the amount of sulfur leaving the power plant...

A power plant burns 150 U.S. short tons of coal per day, and there are 18.2 lb. of flue gas produced per pound of coal. The sulfur content of the coal is 2.0 percent and the molar mass (molecular weight) of the flue gas is 30.5. If all the sulfur in the coal appears as SO2 in the flue gas, what is the concentration of SO2 in the flue gas in parts per million?

A coal-fired power plant (PP) has a rated power of 1000 MWe. It works at 100% capacity (base-loaded) at a thermal efficiency of 35%. It burns coal having a heating value of 30 MJ/kg and a sulfur content of 2% by weight, a nitrogen content of 1% by weight, and a mineral (ash) content of 10% by weight. b) How much coal does the PP consume per year (ton/yr) ? 3*106 tons/yr c) How much SO2 does the PP emit...

On a clear winter night, a wind speed of 2.5 m/s was measured on a 10-m pole. The centerline ground-level concentration of SO2 was found to be 198 μg/m3 at a point 2.8 km downwind from a coal-fired power plant. The effective stack of the power plant is 85 m. a.Determine the atmospheric stability category of the day. b. Estimate the windspeed at 85 m (in m/s). c. Determine the SO2 emission rate (kg/s) of the power plant in kg/s...

A typical coal-fired power plant generates 1000 MW of usable power at an overall thermal efficiency of 40%. PART A: What is the rate of heat input to the plant? Answer in MW PART B: The plant burns anthracite coal, which has a heat of combustion of 2.65×107J/kg. How much coal does the plant use per day, if it operates continuously? Answer in kg PART C: At what rate is heat ejected into the cool reservoir, which is the nearby...

In this exercise we will consider two coal-fired power plants and a solar thermal plant, in order to compare their power densities, i.e., their power output vs. the amount of land they occupy. This method of comparison of diverse forms of renewable and non-renewable energy systems was pioneered by Vaclav Smil of the University of Manitoba in Canada. The first coal plant is highly efficient and is optimally located, next to a mine that supplies high-quality coal from a thick...
