6. a rural iowa community is considering a corn stover-fired 55.0 mw electric power generation plant. assume that the power plant will have a capacity factor 92.0% and an overall efficiency of 27.0% based on the higher heating value of the stover. the land near the proposed plant yields on average 3.60 dry tons of stover per acre annually and 60.0% of the stover can be sustainably harvested. the remaining stover is left on the land to prevent soil erosion and nutrient depletion. the as-received stover contains 23.0% moisture and 6.0% ash. the stover is dried before being used to fuel the power plant. the dry basis higher heating value of the stover is 17.9 mj/kg. a. how much electricity will be delivered annually (mwh/y)?
b. how much fuel will be required to deliver 1 mwh of electricity (kg/mwh)?
c. how much corn stover (dry basis) will be required each year to fuel the power plant (mg/y)?
d. what is the total area of farmland required (ac)?

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
