1 . A subcritical thermal power plant with a heat rate ( H . R ) of 2 7 0 0 kca l k W

1. A subcritical thermal power plant with a heat rate (H.R) of 2700kcalkWh is converted to supercritical power plant with a H.R of 1900kcalkWh. Please calculate the percentage (%) reduction in CO2 emission for the same quantity of coal for every unit of electricity generated.
2. A combined cycle has a heat rate of 1800KcalkWh. Calculate the NG
consumption in kg and Nm3. What is the efficiency of the cycle in percentage? What is the ideal efficiency possible?
2. Given
1 MMBTU is one million BTU (British Thermal Units)
1BTU=1.055kJ,
1kcal=4.184kJ.
Cal Value: 12,500kcalkg
Find equivalent kilograms of Natural gas for 1 MMBTU.
4. In the above question (Ques.3), if the molecular weight of NG is 17.2kgkgmol. then calculate the equivalent Nm3 of N.G for 1 MMBTU gas. NM3 is a normal cubic meter is the gas volume at 0C and 1 bar pressure. Ideal gas then is used to calculate the mols and mass using the expression that 22.4Nm3 is 1kgmol and 1kgmol is equal to MolW of the gas in kgs.
