Determine amount of natural gas fuel burned in kg per day


1) A gas turbine power plant produces a net power output of 100 MW with an overall thermal efficency of 35%

A) If the heating value of the natural gas fuel is 45000 kj/kg, determine the amount of the natural gas fuel burned in kg per day (24 hours).

B) If the air fuel ratio for the nautral gas combustion processis 17 kg air/kg fuel, determine the mass flow rate of air going through the burner in kg/s. If air is at 1 atm (101.3 kPa) and 300 K, what is the air volume flow rate in m^3/s?
