A steam plant burns 6000 kg/hr coal, heat value 34 MJ/kg
18kg of air at 15 C is used/kg coal burned. Flue gas tem is 250 C.
46000 L/min cooling water used for condenser - inlet at 8 C and outlet 20 C
Find max work done kW/h and thermal efficiency.
I tried the following formula : Thermal Eff = heat energy converted to work / heat energy supplied or Themal Eff = heat energy equivalent (MJ/Kwh) / spec fuel cons. x calorific value.
but I must be missing something here ??
Any direction would be appreciated.
