Applying the First Law to Reacting SystemsThe energy
Chapter 13, Problem 52P(choose chapter or problem)
The energy required to vaporize the working fluid passing through the boiler of a simple vapor power plant is provided by the complete combustion of methane with 110% of theoretical air. The fuel and air enter in separate streams at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), 1 atm. Products of combustion exit the stack at \(150^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), 1 atm. Plot the mass flow rate of fuel required, in kg/h per MW of power developed by the plant versus the plant thermal efficiency, \(\eta\). Consider \(\eta\) in the range 30–40%. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible.
