Solve the given problem M.E. BOARD FEBRUARY, 1951
Solve the given problem M.E. BOARD FEBRUARY, 1951 a certain diesel- glactric power plant, diesel generator sot has the following data Diesel fuel consumption . . .. . .- . -109,495 kg Electric power generated at switch board - -- -518,000 kw Direct excitation . . . . . . . . .. . .-3946 kw-hr Number of generating hours - - - - 595 hrs Assume 90% generator efficiency and 80% excita- tion efficiency Determine: 1. Total BHP load of the engine 2. Pounds of fuol per kw-hr 3. Pounds of fuel per BHP-hr 4. With nominal output rating of 1520 HP, at what load percent engine has run its rated capacity. 5. Circulating water enter's the diesel engine at 80 F and leaves at 110 F. Assuming that this operation, 0.15 gal per min. of cooling water per BHP is circulated, what percent of heat energy is taken by the circulating water if fuel with HV of 19,000 Btu/lb is used. 6. The brake thermal efficiency
