You have been tasked with the evaluation of alternate technologies for baseload power generation for a large urban center. The technologies to be considered are (1) coal fired power, (2) gas fired power, (3) nuclear power, (4) solar thermal power with storage, and (5) hydroelectric power. The criteria for assessment and relative weightings are presented below. Criterion Weighting (%) Capital Cost Generation Capacity Environmental Requirements and Impacts Social Acceptance Reliability 25 20 15 10 30 Review the literature for information relevant to each of the selection criteria for the technologies to be considered. Use a Kepner-Tregoe scorecard to determine the weighted scores for each technology option. Your scorecard should include a brief technical justification for the technology options against each criterion, together with references to the cited sources.
A refrigeration machine rejects QH = 620 Btu per cycle to a hot reservoir at TH = 540°R, while receiving Qc = 447.0 Btu per cycle from a cold reservoir at temperature Tc.

A wind generator rotates at 17 rpm on the rotor (the part with the blades). It is a direct drive (meaning the rotor connects directly to the generator). The generator is 86% efficient and produces 3.1 MW. What is the torque on the rotor?
Evaluate the following two resources for energy generation via a heat engine (Rankine cycle steam turbine). From a thermal efficiency and a practical standpoint (all else equal) which would you recommend. a. An ocean location where Tcold is 0 degC and Thot from a thermal flow is 150degC. b. A land location where the geothermal steam resource is 450K and the system is exhausting to ambient temperature at 293K.
This is Problem 13 of Chapter 3 in Sustainable Energy by Richard Dunlap, 2nd Edition. I need help solving it: A coal-fired generating station has an efficiency of 38% and produces an average electrical output of 1000 MWe.(a) How much coal does it burn per second (kg/s)? Assume the coal is bituminous.(b) How much heat (in joules) is released to the environment per second?(c) How many liters of water at 20°C could the heat in part (b) boil (at STP) per second? For c, here is my idea: use Q = mc(change in T). Here change in T is (100 C - 20 C) or 80 C and c = 4200 J/(kg C) so I can solve for m. Question: I need the density of water to find liters, but density changes with temperature. So, do I use the regular 1000 kg/m^3 or something else?
