Chapter 2. Fuels

1. 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 (T). 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).

Given: 100 MW electrical average annual output

η = 0.33

Fuel cost = $5/MBtu (natural gas)

Fuel cost = $3/gal (No. 2 fuel oil)

Fuel cost = $60/ton (bituminous coal)

Find: Annual fuel costs

Solution:

Bituminous Coal $2.14/MBtu $19.4 million/yr

2. In the United States energy for household heating is generally sold using English units, e.g., therm, gal,
and cord. A house in Wisconsin requires 1200 therms of thermal energy during the heating season.
Calculate the cost of fuel if the furnace uses (a) natural gas with an efficiency of 70%; (b) No. 2 fuel
oil, efficiency 65%; (c) kerosene, efficiency 99.9% (unvented); and (d) wood with l5% moisture with
an efficiency of 50%. Use the data in Tables 2.2, 2.7, and 2.13. The efficiencies are based on the HHV.
Assume the cost of natural gas is $8/MBtu, the cost of No. 2 fuel oil is $3/gal, the cost of kerosene is
$3.50/gal, and the cost of wood is $100/cord. Assume the bulk density of cord wood is 30 lbm/ft3.

Given: Qheat = 1200 therm/yr

Fuel Fuel cost Thermal efficiency

Natural Gas $8.00/MBtu 70%

No. 2 Fuel Oil $3.00/gal 65%

Kerosene $3.50/gal 99.9%

Wood (15% MC as-recd) $100/cord 50%

Find: Annual fuel costs

Solution:
