16. A coal burnt in a power plant has the following analysis. The power plant engineer would like to know the coal rank and feed rate (short tons/h) of as fired (based on as determined analysis – with ash and moisture) for a 300 MW (thermal) boiler. The moisture is reported to be 6.5%. (60 Points) Proximate Analysis, wt.% Volatile matter 1.7 Fixed Carbon 88.1 Ash 10.2 Ultimate Analysis (wt.%) Carbon 96.08 Hydrogen 1.32 Nitrogen 0.62 Sulfur 0.8 Oxygen 1.18 Higher Heating Value 13,675 Btu/lb (dry ash-free basis) 16.
