If Indiana County, Pennsylvania, coal with M = 3% and A = 8.5% is burned with 10% excess air, calculate the actual air fuel ratio and the ideal Orsat analysis (no CO and no unburned carbon). Also, determine the theoretical Orsat analysis if the HHV of the refuse is 5500 kJ/kg and the % CO in the dry flue gas is 0.2% of the dry flue gas.

At a coal-fired power plant, assume that lignite coal is being burned as shown in the following stoichiometric combustion reaction equation, which assumes that the nitrogen in the lignite and in the air is all converted to NO and that combustion is complete: CH0.96O0.18N0.016S0.012 + x (O2 + 3.78 N2) → CO2 + 0.48 H2O + 0.016 NO + 0.012 SO2 + 3.78x N2 (a) What is the value of the coefficient, x? (b) To ensure complete combustion, air must...

You are shoveling bituminous Pennsylvania coal (with an energy content of 13,870 Btu/lb) from a coal box into a furnace. On average, with each lift and throw, you raise a 1.8 kg shovel containing 4.7 kg of coal by a height of 0.85 m. Assume your body is working with an efficiency of 15.9%. How many thousands of times more chemical energy is in the coal you move than is in the sugars and fats your body is burning to...

When coal is burned, the sulfur present in coal is converted to sulfur dioxide (SO2), which is responsible for the acid rain phenomenon. S(s) + O2(g) → SO2(g) If 4.82 kg of S are reacted with oxygen, calculate the volume of SO2 gas (in mL) formed at 29°C and 1.16 atm. . Calculate the mass in grams of hydrogen chloride produced when 5.65 L of molecular hydrogen measured at STP reacts with an excess of molecular chlorine gas. H2(g) +...

Coal is burned at an electric power generation plant at a rate of 150 kg/minute with 8% excess air (dry). The coal has a composition (mass based) of xC (kg C/coal), xH (kg H/coal), xS (kg Sulfur/coal) and xash (kg ash/coal). The coal produces 20 kg/minute of ash. The outlet gases, on a dry basis (i.e. we exclude any water from the calculation), have the composition (volume basis): yCO2=0.1418, yCO=0.024, ySO2=0.003, yO2=0.027, yN2=0.8042. Calculate the coal composition, air demand and...

1. During the Industrial Revolution, a series of accidents in Pennsylvania and Virginia coal mines, related to long hours, poor safety policies and low pay, caused workers to form one of America's first successful workers unions. Over a series of months, striking workers did not mine coal and mine-owners refused to negotiate. The stakes for Americans, who relied on coal for heat and as fuel for transportation grew as the strike went on. What was the eventual result of this...

The average number of acres burned by fires in New Mexico County is assumed to be normally distributed with a mean of 9000 and a standard deviation of 695 acres. You are told that the probability of the number of acres burned between 9350-R and 9350+R is .7802. Find R. (Hint: Draw a picture to see the area along with the given probability. Can Goal-Seek or trial and error help you find the value of R?) How would I solve...

Bethesda Mining is a midsized coal mining company with 20 mines located in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Kentucky. The company operates deep mines as well as strip mines. Most of the coal mined is sold under contract, with excess production sold on the spot market. The coal mining industry, especially high-sulfur coal operations such as Bethesda, has been hard-hit by environmental regulations. Recently, however, a combination of increased demand for coal and new pollution reduction technologies has led to...
