This is Problem 13 of Chapter 3 in Sustainable Energy by Richard Dunlap, 2nd Edition. I need help solving it: A coal-fired generating station has an efficiency of 38% and produces an average electrical output of 1000 MWe.(a) How much coal does it burn per second (kg/s)? Assume the coal is bituminous.(b) How much heat (in joules) is released to the environment per second?(c) How many liters of water at 20°C could the heat in part (b) boil (at STP) per second? For c, here is my idea: use Q = mc(change in T). Here change in T is (100 C - 20 C) or 80 C and c = 4200 J/(kg C) so I can solve for m. Question: I need the density of water to find liters, but density changes with temperature. So, do I use the regular 1000 kg/m^3 or something else?

Imagine that today is your first day on the job, and that from now on you will be the engineer responsible for a thermal machine. The machine operates according to the cycle below, functioning as a Rankine cycle. Figure 1. T-S diagram of the Rankine cycle. As a good engineer, you already know that, in order to know how a machine works, it is necessary to know its operating conditions. The boiler operates at a constant pressure equal to 8600 kPa and generates water vapor whose temperature is 400 °C. When passing through the turbine, the steam is expanded isetropically and enters the condenser as a two-phase mixture with a title equal to 0.80. The fluid is condensed at a constant pressure of 10 kPa, and then compressed isentropically, so that the fluid enters the boiler as a subcooled liquid. According to the information given above, determine: a) The change in internal energy (ΔU) and the change in entropy (ΔS) of the cycle. b) The net work recognized by the cycle (WNet). c) The thermal…
