P5. Coal power plants operate at high temperature of about 600C, whereas a jet engine operates at high temperature of about 1200C. Would you recommend replacing the coal power plant with the jet engine for power production? Justify your answer.

Expert Solution

ANSWER:

  • Existing coal and gaseous petrol control plants experience considerable difficulties rapidly scaling generation up or down to suit the fluctuations in accessibility of daylight and wind, which prompts a great deal of wasted energy.
  • In any case, jet engines which working at high temperatures are more proficient. jet engines have been worked with nickel based super compounds, which are intended to withstand high temperatures and rapidly cycle on and off.
  • Be that as it may, jet engines can not be utilized everywhere. this time jet is intended for nations working at 50 Hz control frequency. just like Europe, china, India and so forth.
  • Yes, we can replace the coal power plant with the jet engine for power production

Consider the environmental damage that results from the emissions of coal-fired power plants. These plants produce pollutants such as sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOx), which combine with hydrogen to make acid rain. They release mercury into the environment and emit other particulate matter such as soot, as well. Which of these externalities are highly localized, and which are borne by society at large? Explain

There are two coal-fired power plants located in the vicinity of a major metropolitan area. These power plants emit sulphur dioxide, which causes respiratory issues for the metro population as well as resulting in acidic rainfall.  The EPA has determined that the amount of sulphur dioxide emitted needs to be reduced by 180 tons. The marginal abatement cost function for the first power plant is given by MC(x) = 5x and the marginal abatement cost function for the second power plant...

There are two coal-fired power plants located in the vicinity of a major metropolitan area. These power plants emit sulphur dioxide, which causes respiratory issues for the metro population as well as resulting in acidic rainfall. The EPA has determined that the amount of sulphur dioxide emitted needs to be reduced by 169 tons. The marginal abatement cost function for the first power plant is given by MC(x) = 4x and the marginal abatement cost function for the second power...

Two western coal power plants (Astoria and Boardman) in Oregon emit SO2 as a result of combustion. SO2 abatement costs increase with the amount of abatement for all power plants, but because of their different sizes and technology, they have different abatement costs. The Marginal Abatement Cost (MAC) equations for each firm are MC=4*QA & MC=8*QB, where QA is the amount of abatement at each the Astoria plant and QB is the amount of abatement at Boardman. Currently, they each...
