there is 4.1858 joules in a calorie
1 kg of steam requires 538 kilocalories to be produced plus superheat for use in a steam engine of about another 400 Kc approximately. If the engine has a watering rate of 2.2 KG per Kw using the 938 Kc / Kg that would require 2.0636 Mc / Kw.
This is equivalent to 8.6378 MJ/Kw x 1000 Kw/Mw = 8.6378 GJ/Mw of heat energy in the steam.
With the efficiency of the best boilers of ~25% conversion of heat from combustion to steam output the amount of heat from Natural gas required would be about 34.551 GJ energy input. These numbers are only an estimate, actual boiler and engine/ generator efficiencies will differ as will steam conditions.

Where is the natural gas in Darwin at the channel island power plant come from?
Gas comes from the Joseph Bonaparte gas field off Wadeye (Port Keats).
How long is a coal power plant last?
Because coal is the most abundant fossil fuel in the world, a coal power plant can last for many, many years to come. It is also a cheaper fuel, which makes it more reliable than petroleum or natural gas.
Is a nuclear power plant and power plant the same?
Power plants come in various different types depending on the fuel used, coal, natural gas, oil, wind, solar and so on. Nuclear is one type of power plant in this general category.
Why is the gas turbine called as the power plant?
A gas turbine is one type of power plant. It produces power by burning gas to turn the turbine.
Who is to develop the largest gas-based power plant in the world?
Enron is largest gas power plant in world.
What is a peaker station?
A supplemental power plant that operates only when demand forpower is high. These plants often run on natural gas.
