CHE-101: Energy Engineering

Tutorial Sheet-2
1. A super thermal power plant of 2x1000 MW capacity runs on coal having the following
ultimate analysis:

Moisture : 8.10 %
Ash : 27.72 %
Carbon : 45.30 %
Hydrogen : 3.21 %
Oxygen : 13.32 %
Nitrogen : 1.25 %
Sulphur : 1.10 %

The overall conversion efficiency of coal to electrical energy of the above plant may be taken as
44.56%. Determine the following. The heat of vaporization of water: 2.26 MJ/kg

i. The high and low heating values of the coal in MJ/kg


ii. Coal consumption in million tonnes per year if the plant runs for 312 days in a
year

2. A 1250 MW thermal power plant is consuming coal having the following proximate analysis:

Moisture : 13.13 %
Ash : 07.62 %
Fixed carbon : 45.87 %
Volatile matter : 33.38 %

Determine the following:

(i). Heating value of the coal, if empirical constant, a = 199 – 3 x (Volatile Matter),
(ii). Annual coal consumption in Million Tonnes, if the plant is running for 75% time in a year
with an overall efficiency of 41.87%.

3. A urea manufacturing plant having a capacity of 1.2 MT per annum uses CNG as feed stock
for the production of hydrogen. Determine the following assuming the plant runs for 300 days in
a year. Assuming 100 % conversions at each stage of the process.

a. Daily consumption of Nitrogen and Hydrogen in Tonnes


b. Daily production of ammonia in Tonnes
c. Daily Carbon Dioxide requirement in Tonnes
