A power plant burns 7.3 tonnes (i.e., 7.3*1000 =7300 Kg) coal per hour and discharges the combustion products through a stack of effective stack height of 75m. The coal has a sulfur content of 4.2% and the wind velocity at the top of the stack is 6 m/sec. The atmospheric conditions are moderately stable. Answer Determine SO2 concentrations for following locations: (0,0,0); (850m, 0,0); (850m, 0,75m); (850m, 0,-75m); (-850m, 0,75m); (0, 0,75m); (850m, ?y, ?z). (ii) Determine distance from stack at which the maximum occurs.

A country imports 5 billion tonnes of coal per year and domestically produces another 4.5 billion tonnes of coal per year.
Exercise 1: Tariffs and ElasticityA country imports 5 billion tonnes of coal per year and domestically produces another 4.5 billion tonnes of coal per year. The world price of coal is $50 per tonne. Assuming linear schedules, economists estimate the price elasticity of domestic supply to be 0.3 and the price elasticity of domestic demand to be 0.2 at the current equilibrium. Consider the changes in social surplus that would result from imposition of a $20 per tonne import fee...

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...

A typical coal-fired electric generating plant will burn about 3 metric tons of coal per hour. Most of the coal burned in the United States contains 1 to 4 % by weight sulfur in the form of pyrite, which is oxidized as the coal burns: 4FeS2(s) + 11 O2(g) = 2 Fe2O3(s) + 8 SO2(g) Once in the atmosphere, the SO2 is oxidized to SO3, which then reacts with water in the atmosphere to form sulfuric acid: SO3(g) + H2O(l)...
