To supply base load of power plant, which of the following powerplant is very suitable
To supply base load of power plant, which of the following powerplant is very suitable:
- Diesel
- Nuclear
- Gas
- None of these
Correct answer: 2. Nuclear
Explanation: Base load power plants deliver full power at all times. Coal fired power stations and nuclear power stations are particularly suitable for meeting the base load demands.
A diesel power station has fuel consumption of 0.3 per kWh. The calorific value of fuel being 9898 kcal/kg. The overall efficiency of station is
A diesel power station has fuel consumption of 0.3 per kWh. The calorific value of fuel being 9898 kcal/kg. The overall efficiency of station is:
- 28.96%
- 33.96%
- 38.96%
- 43.96%
Correct answer: 1. 28.96%
Solution:
Heat produced by 0.3 kg of oil = 9898 * 0.3 = 2969.4 kcal
—————
Heat equivalent of 1 kWh = 860 kcal
—————
Overall efficiency = Electrical output/Heat of combustion = 860/2969.4 = 0.2896 = 28.96%
When moving from consumers to power station, the diversity factor of a power plant:
When moving from consumers to power station, the diversity factor of a power plant:
- Increases
- Remains the same
- Decreases
- None of these
Correct answer: 3. Decreases
Mechanical energy is supplied to a DC generator at rate of 90 J/s. The generator delivers 40 at 90 V. The efficiency of generator is:
Mechanical energy is supplied to a DC generator at rate of 90 J/s. The generator delivers 40 at 90 V. The efficiency of generator is:
- 33784
- 32784
- 31784
- 30784
Correct answer: 3. 31784
Solution:
Mass of water available = 90 * 1000 = 90000 kg/sec
————
Head = 40 m
Work done/sec = W*H = 90000 * 40 = 35316 * 10³ W = 35316 kW
This is gross plant capacity.
———————
Firm capacity = Plant efficiency * Gross plant capacity
Firm capacity = 0.9 * 35316 = 31784 kW
A diesel power station has fuel consumption of 0.3 per kWh. The calorific value of fuel being 9800 kcal/kg. If alternator efficiency is 96%. The efficiency of engine is
A diesel power station has fuel consumption of 0.3 per kWh. The calorific value of fuel being 9800 kcal/kg. If alternator efficiency is 96%. The efficiency of engine is:
- 23.47%
- 30.47%
- 37.47%
- 44.47%
Correct answer: 2. 30.47%
Solution:
Heat produced by 0.3 kg of oil = 9800 * 0.3 = 2940 kcal
—————
Heat equivalent of 1 kWh = 860 kcal
—————
Overall efficiency = Electrical output/Heat of combustion = 860/2940 = 0.292517006802721 = 29.25%
—————
Engine efficiency = Overall efficiency/Alternator efficiency = 29.25/0.96 = 30.47%
