Question 6 Compare the carbon emissions per MJ to heat household water using the following two energy systems: a) A 25% efficient coal-fired power plant delivering electricity to a 99% efficient electric water heater. Assume LHV carbon intensity of coal is 25.8 gC/MJ. b) A new 50% efficient natural gas-fired combined cycle power plant to a 99% efficient electric water heater. You must calculate the LHV carbon intensity of natural gas. Assume 100% methane and ideal conditions. Assume 5% losses in electrical transmission lines and 90 MJ of fuel input to each system.

Estimate the greenhouse gas emissions from power production for the following threescenarios. Focus on the greenhouse gas emissions associated with theoperational energy, not the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the manufacture of theproduct or end of life processes.The hourly load demand for a home is given.1) All power during an hour of up to 5 kW is drawn from a baseload coal powerplant. Any power in excess of that amount is drawn from a peaker plant running as anatural gas combined cycle power plant.2) Localized solar energy production is provided in the table on the next page.Energy demand by the house is first met by this solar generation. If the total hourlyenergy demand is below 5 kW, then any extra energy required beyond that provided bythe solar panels is drawn from a coal power plant. If the total hourly demand is above 5kW, then any extra hour demand beyond 5 kW is met by a natural gas combined cyclepower plant. No credit is given if the solar energy production…

a) Write a comprehensive note on a Combined Heat Power Plant and briefly introduce its components .
A geothermal resource/aquifer has been tested and confirmed to continuously produce saturated liquid water at 230°C. It is desired to construct a 60 MW geothermal power plant, which will utilize this resource. Two designs are proposed: a) a single flash unit and b) a dual-flash unit. A nearby cooling pond may supply sufficient cooling water to keep the condenser of the plant at 40°C. For the two types of units under consideration calculate: a) The total amount of steam that needs to be produced. b) The total amount of water the wells must provide. c) If each well produces 60 kg/s of water, what is the number of wells that must be drilled?
