A coal-fired power plant is planned to be set up , aiming to produce a net power output of 60 MW. The power plant will operate on a reheat Rankine cycle. The steam enters the high-pressure turbine at a pressure of 7 MPa and a temperature of 400°C, while it enters the low-pressure turbine at a pressure of 2 MPa and the same temperature of 400°C. After going through the turbine, the steam is condensed in the condenser and exits as a saturated liquid at a pressure of 15 kPa. The electric generator has an efficiency of 96% and the pump has an isentropic efficiency of 90%. The heating value of the coal is 29.30 MJ/kg, analyze the given scenario to find the required amount of coal in tons to run the power plant for a month.
