A 731 KW diesel-engine power plant has the following data: fuel rate, 245 liters per hour at 22 C with a specific gravity of 0.922; coolant flow rate, 1135 liters/min, with inlet and outlet temperature of 25 C and 35 C, respectively; air temperature of 18 C at a volume flow rate of 5031 m°/hr; exhaust gas temperature of 400 C. If the engine is an 8-cylinder, 375 mm x 457 mm x 267 rpm and the generator efficiency is 93 %, conduct an engine heat balance based on the above data.
Please provide equations that you are using so I can follow along and learn how to do this. In Jamestown, NY, a coal power plan consumes coal at a rate of 80 tons/hr. When coal burns, it generates approximately 30,000 kJ for every kg of coal burned. The cooling course for the plant is the nearby Chadakoin River nearby and, by code, the power plant cannot reject more than 13.19 x 109 MJ into the river annually. Determine the maximum average power output of this plant and it's maximum thermal efficiency. To check your work, enter the efficiency, as a decimal, in the box provided.
Pls. Answer thank you! An auditorium seating 1600 people is to be maintained at 80°F dry bulb and 65°F wet bulb temperature when outdoor air is at 91oF dry bulb and 75oF wet bulb. Solar heat load is 120,000 Btu/hr and supply air is at 60°F, determine the amount of supply air. (Use sensible heat load of 225 Btu/hr per person)
