- 5. Estimate the daily amount of magnesium hydroxide needed for FGD for a 350 MW power plant (0.305 efficiency) that uses a 14,380 BTU/lb bituminous coal with 0.85 wt% S. Assume a 95 % utilization of magnesium hydroxide and that the plant meets 90% removal of sulfur.arrow_forwardIt is observed that the density of an ideal gas increases by 10 percent when compressed isothermally from 10 atm to 11 atm. Determine the percent increase in the density of the gas if it is compressed isothermally from 994 atm to 1008 atm. The increase in the density of the gas is 1.4084 %.arrow_forwardCalculate the recovery factor of a reservoir given the following information: stock tank oil initially in place 76 million STB, during the last 10 years 4 million STB was produced in total.
