An electrical power plant has an overall efficiency of 15%. The plant is delivered 150MW of power to a city, and turbines use coal as fuel. The burning coal produces steam at 190 0C, which drives the turbines. The steam is then condensed at 25 0C by passing it through cooling coils in contact with river water.a) How many metric tons of coal does the plant consume each day?b) What is the total cost of the fuel per year if the delivered price 10 USD per metric ton?c) If the river water is delivered at 20 0C, at what minimum rate must it flow over the cooling coils in order to that its temperature not exceeds 25 0C? Heat of combustion of coal is 33 kJ/g
I need help on this assignment: Exhaust gases from the turbine of a simple Brayton cycle are quite hot and may be used for other thermal purposes. One proposed use is generating saturated steam at 110℃ from water at 30℃ in a boiler. This steam will be distributed to several buildings on a university campus for space heating. A Brayton cycle with a pressure ration of 6 is to be used for this purpose. Plot the following:(a) The mechanical power produced,(b) the flow rate of the produced steam,(c) the maximum cycle temperature, all as functions of the rate at which heat is added to the cycle.

List energy transfer and conversion processes that will occur during the testing of the steam turbine. Include processes that contribute to the operation of the turbine (e.g. heat transfer from the combustion gases to the steam generator etc.) and ‘parasitic’ energy transfer or conversion processes that will reduce the thermodynamic efficiency of the turbine (e.g. conversion of mechanical energy to heat by friction in the turbine shaft bearings). Identify the sources of irreversibility in these processes.
