A manufacturing company is intending to use its
water cooled condenser for its
proposed cold storage room. The name plate of the
condenser gives the following
specifications:
refrigerant ammonia
condenser water inlet 30 OC
condenser water outlet 40 ỌC
condensing temperature 35 OC

In the United States, electricity is sold using the SI units of kilowatt (kW) or megawatt (MW), and fuel for power
generation stations is generally purchased using English units, e.g., British thermal unit (Btu), gallon (gal), and ton. An industrial power plant has an average annual load of 100 MW (electrical). If the overall thermal efficiency is 33% (based on HHV), what is the annual cost of fuel if the plant is fired with (a) natural gas, (b) No. 2 fuel oil, and (c) bituminous coal? Use the data from Tables 2.2, 2.7, and 2.13. Assume the cost of natural gas is $5/million Btu, the cost of No. 2 fuel oil is $3/gal, and the cost of bituminous coal is $60/ton (1 ton = 2000 lbm)
