How many houses could a single natural gas plant serve? Ignore timing of supply and demand overlap, as well as technical details such as ramping. Assume the average house uses 10,000 kwh per year, and the natural gas plant has a rated capacity of 100 MW, an efficiency of 38%, and a capacity factor of 0.74.
A family wants to replace their 25 year old gas-fired combi boiler (24 kW) where the unit cost of natural gas is ₺0.15/kWh. The current combi has 60% efficiency and operated for 2 hours a day for 3 months each year. The family wants to make a decision whether to buy a new combi with 90% efficiency and ₺4000 cost. Give your suggestion to this family whether to buy the new one or keep the current one considering a simple payback period of 5 years.

1-Compare between impulse and reaction turbine with the aid of a neat diagram. 2-Explain briefly the function of steam turbine in a steam power plant with the aid of a simple diagram.
A power plant with a nominal rating of 1kW does not actually produce 1kW continuously because its capacity factor C - the fraction of the time that it is actually running at its rated power - is less than 100%. If the capacity factor C = 35%, how much energy will be generated by this power plant over 1 year in MJ?
