Document Summary

Due friday, march 20, 2020 (total: 100 points) Fuel selection for electricity generation and air pollution (20 points: uncontrolled emission factors and heating value data for bituminous coal, residual fuel oil and natural gas burned in utility boilers are given in table 1. Consider a thermal electric power plant that generates an average of 400 mw of electricity with an overall efficiency of 38%. Determine for each fuel the annual uncontrolled mass of each of the pollutants (in units of metric tons per year) that would be emitted from such a power plant. What else needs to be taken into consideration to assess which fuel is the cleanest? (20 points) Energy (mj) = power (mw) * time (s) The overall efficiency of the power plant is: (cid:1831)(cid:1858)(cid:1858)(cid:1861)(cid:1855)(cid:1861)(cid:1857)(cid:1866)(cid:1855)(cid:1877)(cid:3404) (cid:1831)(cid:1864)(cid:1857)(cid:1855)(cid:1872)(cid:1870)(cid:1861)(cid:1855)(cid:1861)(cid:1872)(cid:1877) (cid:1868)(cid:1870)(cid:1867)(cid:1856)(cid:1873)(cid:1855)(cid:1857)(cid:1856) (cid:1834)(cid:1857)(cid:1853)(cid:1872)(cid:1861)(cid:1866)(cid:1859) (cid:1874)(cid:1853)(cid:1864)(cid:1873)(cid:1857) (cid:3400)(cid:1843)(cid:1873)(cid:1853)(cid:1866)(cid:1872)(cid:1861)(cid:1872)(cid:1877) (cid:1867)(cid:1858) (cid:1858)(cid:1873)(cid:1857)(cid:1864) Table 1: uncontrolled emission factors and heating value data.
