A power plant burns coal and generates anaverage of 650.0 Megawatts (MW) of electrical power whiledischarging 1001.00 MW as waste heat. Find the total electricalenergy generated by the plant in a 30-day period.
Coals vary a lot in their energy content. Theenergy released by the burning of coal is typically between 23 and33 Mega Joules per kg of coal. The power plant above uses coalrated at 31.6 MJ/kg to heat the boilers. Some of that heat isconverted to electrical energy, but most is waste heat dischargedinto the environment. Assume that it takes about 2.32 kg of oxygento burn 1 kg of coal (The actual amount varies with the type coal).Find the total mass of the reagents used in operating for 30days.
