2. consider a proposal to fuel the gas turbine at the kettle falls generating station discussed in problem 1 with syngas generated by gasifying corn stover. the corn stover and the resulting gasification products are carbon neutral. the process has a gasification efficiency of 60% based on the lower heating value of the corn stover on a mass basis. the gasification process converts 1.00 kg of dry, ash-free corn stover to 0.830 kg syngas and 0.110 kg dry biochar (i. e., these are the yield ratios for syngas and biochar). the resultant biochar is composed of 92.0% carbon and 8.0% ash on a dry basis. the as-received corn stover is purchased for $60.00 per ton (as-received) and the natural gas is purchased for $4.00/mbtu. the dry, ash-free higher heating value of the corn stover is 18.1 mj/kg. the hydrogen content of the corn stover is 4% on an as-received basis. the moisture and ash content of the corn stover are 20.0% and 10.0%, respectively on an as-received basis. assume the heat rate for the syngas-fired gas turbine is 8000 btu/kwh. a. what is the lhv of the syngas produced (mj/kgayngas)? b. how much syngas is needed annually to fuel the gas turbine (mgsyngas/y)? c. how much corn stover (as-received basis) must be gasified annually to provide syngas for the gas turbine (tas-reco/y)? d. how much biochar (dry basis) is produced annually from the gasification of the corn stover (mgoiochar(ory/y)? e. what mass of co2 is sequestered by the biochar per mwh of electricity produced by the gas turbine (mgoo/mwhturbine)? assume that 90% of the biochar remains in the soil on a long term basis. f. how much co2 is avoided per mwh of electricity produced by the use of syngas with biochar carbon capture (mgoo2/mwhturbine)? g. what is the increased fuel cost of using corn stover instead of natural gas ($/y)? h. if carbon emissions are taxed at $70.00/mg0o2, what are the annual carbon cost savings of using corn stover with biochar for carbon capture ($/y)?

Along 8-cm diameter steam pipe whose external surface temperature is 900c connects two buildings. the pipe is exposed to ambient air at 70c with a wind speed of 50 km/hr blowing across the pipe. determine the heat loss from the pipe per unit length. (b) air at 500c enters a section of a rectangular duct (15 cm x 20 cm) at an average velocity of 7 m/s. if the walls of the duct are maintained at 100c. a) the length of the tube for an exit temperature of the air to be 40 0c. b)the rate of heat transfer from the air. c) the fan power needed to overcome the pressure drop in this section of the duct.
