Chapter 21, Problem 13P

The function f ( x ) = 2 e 1.5 x can be used to generate the following table of unequally spaced data:

x 0 0.05 0.15 0.25 0.35 0.475 0.6
f ( x ) 2 1.8555 1.5970 1.3746 1.1831 0.9808 0.8131

Evaluate the integral from a = 0 to b = 0.6 using

(a) Analytical means

(b) The trapezoidal rule, and

(c) A combination of the trapezoidal and Simpson's rules; employ Simpson's rules where ver possible to obtain the highest accuracy. For (b) and (c), compute the percent relative error ( ε t ) .

4. An operating parameter often used by power plant engineers is the heat rate. The heat rate is defined as, HR Qbioler Wnet where Qbioler is the heat transfer rate (Btu/h) to the water in the boiler due to the combustion of a fuel and Wnet is the net power (kW) delivered by the plant. In comparison, the thermal efficiency of the power plant is defined as, nth Wnet Qbioler where the numerator and denominator have the same units. Consider a power plant that is delivering 1000 MW of power while utilizing a heat transfer rate of 3570 MW at the boiler. Determine the heat rate and thermal efficiency of this power plant.
3. A steam power plant has an average monthly net power delivery of 740 MW over the course of a year. This power delivery is accomplished by burning coal in the boiler. The coal has a heating value of 9150 Btu/lbm. The cost of the coal is $14.20/ton. The overall thermal efficiency of the plant is, nth Wnet Qboiler 0.26 = 26% Determine the annual cost of the coal required to deliver the given average monthly power.
