Question:

10 tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) is burned directly in a boiler to generate saturated steam at 200oC. Water enters the boiler at 20oC. The heating value of MSW is 18,000kJ/kg and the boiler efficiency is 75 percent. Determine the amount of steam generated. The generated steam is run through a turbine-generator unit to generate electricity. The steam pressure at the turbine exit is 100 kPa. If the turbine isentropic efficiency is 85 percent and the generator efficiency is 95 percent, determine the amount of electricity produced. How much revenue can be generated if the electricity is sold at a price of $0.11/kWh?
