A power plant burns $200$ tonnes$/$day of coal containing $3\%$ sulfur.

a$)$ Calculate emission rate of $S{O}_2$ in $\frac{g}{s}$ from the power plant's stack.

b$)$ If the flow rate of flue gas containing $S{O}_2$ is $250,000\frac{m^3}{h}$ at $150C$

and $\frac{1\mathrm{.}1}{b}ar,$ determine the $S{O}_2$ concentration in the flue gas in ppm$.$

Note $\frac{1}{b}ar=0\mathrm{.}986923$atm$\frac{1\mathrm{.}1}{b}ar=1\mathrm{.}08562$atm.

Answer:

a$)139gS\frac{O_2}{s}$

b$)999\mathrm{.}5pm$
