Steel Framing

A steel frame consists of a skeleton frame structure comprising of horizontal I-beams and vertical steel columns fitted in a rectangular grid building construction to brace the floors, walls, and the roof of the building held onto the frame. Due to the implementation of this methodology, the construction of the skyscrapers was feasible.

Which emits more SOx per unit amount of electricity produced; a coal-fired plant with a 90% efficient SO2 scrubber or an oil-fired plant with m scrubber? Assume the coal has a heat content of 13,000 Btu/lb and contains 3.5% sulfur, and that the oil has a heat content of 6.0(10)* Biu/barrel (42 gallons) and contains 0.9% sulfur, Assume the oil has a specific gravity of 0,92.
A 1000 MW coal fired power plant (30% efficiency). The coal is 75% carbon and has a heat content of 10, 000 BTU/lb. What is the carbon emission (ton carbon per year)?A 1000 MW natural gas plant (45% efficiency). The gas is CH4 with a heat content 800 BTU/mol. What is the carbon emission (ton carbon per year)?Calculate carbon emission reduction if the above natural gas plant is used to replace the coal fired plant.(Here ton is metric ton, 1 ton=2,200 lb)
A furnace uses a coal with the following composition (C = 75.9 wt%, H = 5 wt %, O = 8.6 wt%, N = 0.5 wt%, and ash = 10 wt%). Combustion happens with 35% excess air to form CO2, H2O, and NO2 gases. Assume conversion of all fuel nitrogen to NO2, and that no thermal NO2 (wet basis) forms. Calculate the NO2 gases concentration (ppm) in the dry exhaust.
As a plant maintenance engineer, you are required to purchase a 3,000 L tank of liquid butane to heat a maintenance building during the winter. You are concerned about the tank rupture and the possibility of a vapour cloud explosion of all the butane. How far (in metres) must the tank be from the maintenance building to ensure that it will receive only partial demolition in the event of an explosion? The specific gravity of liquid butane is 0.6, and the energy of explosion for butane is 510 kcal/gm-mol. Assume the explosion efficiency is 10 % in this case.
You place a 20 g sample of solid waste in a drying oven overnight and find the mass in the morning (after the moisture has been evaporated) to be 16.2 g. A 1 g (wet) sample is also placed in a 1L water jacket bomb calorimeter and 0.18 g of ash remains in the sample cup after combustion. The temperature in the calorimeter is raised by 2.17 ˚C. Calculate the heat value on a wet weight basis, dry weight basis, and on a moisture and ash-free basis. Convert your values to BTU/lb
A 100-MW coal-burning electricity generating station operates at 33% efficiency burning coal containing 5% ash and 2% sulfur. Assume a coal heat content of 30 kJ/g. If 95% of the ash and 50% of the sulfur are trapped before emission from the stack by a filter, calculate (a) the emission rate to the atmosphere of ash and sulfur, in g/s and (b) the removal rate to the filter of ash and sulfur, in g/s .
A 600 MW coal-fired power plant has an overall thermal efficiency of 38%.

Calculate the heat emitted to the environment (Btu/sec), the coal feed rate (tons/day), the degree (%) of sulfur dioxide control needed to meet an emission standard of 0,15 lh SO2/inillion Bin of heat input, and the CO2 emission rate (metric tons/day).

It is found in a water sample that it has insufficient alkalinity and therefore soda ash (Na,CO3) is added in water. Calculate the amount of CO2 produced per day in kg if 10 MLD of water needs 333 mg/1 dose of alum. (Assume no reaction takes place before soda-ash addition).
A toxic pollutant with an initial concentration 598.08 is being treated in a batch reactor. Unfortunately, we were unable to as certain whether the substance degrades via first order or second order reaction. If the goal is to reduce the concentration by 95%, determine the number of days............... for 1 order deacy and the number of days ...............for 2nd order decay to reach the target effluent concentration: The reaction rate constant for the first and second order reaction are 0.5 d(-1) and 0.5x10(-3) mg(-1)d(-1) respectively.
