Calculate the entropy for a power plant

AI Thread Summary
Calculating the entropy for a power plant requires specific data, including net power output, fuel type and amount, energy consumed by auxiliary equipment, stack gas losses, temperature readings at various locations, and heat rejection rates. Attempts to obtain this data from several power plants were unsuccessful, and the suggested NRC website did not yield useful information. A recommendation was made to inquire about coal-fired plants for potentially better responses. Additionally, a resource titled "Chemical Thermodynamics at a Glance" by H. Donald Brooke Jenkins was mentioned as a helpful reference. Access to accurate data is crucial for the entropy calculation process.

i have to calculate the entropy for a power plant. to calculate entropy i have to get some data for the power plant
1.) net power output
2.)the type and amount of fuel
3.)the power consumed by the pumps, fans and other auxiliary equipment
4.)stack gas losses
5.) temperatures at serveral locations
6.) the rate of heat rejection at thecondenser


i call few power plant but they told me that they can give this information and they told me that i can visit the www.nrc.gov[/URL] and try to find information from this site but i didnt find anythings there. if anybody now the site where i can find data or the power plant or if anyone has this data please let me know as soon as possible
thank you

Maybe if you asked about one of the coal fired plants you would get some answers. :smile:
 
I found the book "Chemical Thermodnynamics at a Glance" by H. Donald Brooke Jenkins particularly useful.
 
Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'
My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
