Please provide equations that you are using so I can follow along and learn how to do this and include conversions and units. In Jamestown, NY, a coal power plan consumes coal at a rate of 80 tons/hr. When coal burns, it generates approximately 30,000 kJ for every kg of coal burned. The cooling course for the plant is the nearby Chadakoin River nearby and, by code, the power plant cannot reject more than 13.19 x 109 MJ into the river annually. Determine the maximum average power output of this plant and it's maximum thermal efficiency. To check your work, enter the efficiency, as a decimal, in the box provided.
