How much mmbtu is required to produce one ton of steam?
The amount of MMbtu required to produce one ton of steam can vary depending on the efficiency of the boiler and the pressure of the steam. On average, it takes about 10-12 MMbtu to produce one ton of steam at standard conditions.
How do you calculate coal usage to produce 1 MW power?
First in order to calculate the heat content of a particular type of coal, an ultimate analysis must be done. Then the combustion efficiency of the coal must be calculated, the boiler efficiency is then determined by a boiler "acceptance test", or heat balance. The steam is then run through an engine driving a generator to determine the total plant efficiency thus determining how much coal is burned to produce a set amount of electricity. Several publications on Steam power plant operation explain these efficiency tests in more detail.
What power was first used to generate electricity in 1890?
Simple answer, coal. We, as humans, have used coal since the bronze age for heat. In the 1800's when the industrial revolution started, coal was used to boil water. this water could drive a turbine, which is basically how we get our power today, things haven't changed too much in that respect.
How much heat is needed to produce electricity?
The amount of heat needed to produce electricity depends on the type of power plant being used. In general, fossil fuel power plants such as coal or natural gas plants require high temperatures to generate steam that drives turbines to produce electricity. Renewable energy sources like solar or geothermal also rely on heat to generate electricity through different processes.
How much power do you get from a steam turbine?
The power output of a steam turbine depends on various factors such as turbine size, steam pressure and temperature, and efficiency. Large steam turbines in power plants can generate hundreds of megawatts of electricity, while smaller turbines in industrial settings may produce tens to hundreds of kilowatts.

How much water required to generate 1000kwh of electricity from coal?
it takes 800 gallons of water to make 1 megawatt-hour of electricity (1000 kWh).
How much coal did the titanic burn?
The Titanic had 159 coal-burning furnaces fueling the boilers.
How many other coal plants would it take to replace nuclear plants?
Depends on the amount of electrical energy they (need to) generate. How much does the average nuclear plant generate ? How much does the average coal plant generate ?
Why did the number of coalfields increase during Victorian times?
In the Victorian Era, the majority of power was generated by steam, which was done by burning coal. The increased urbanization and Industrial Revolution created the need for much more power, and therefore more coal to generate it.
How much coal does it require to generate 1000 KWH of electricity?
It takes one ton of coal to generate an average of 2500 KWH of electricity.
How much coal is required for 1 mw power plant?
3.5 tonns of coal is required for producing 1 mw
How much diesel fuel needed to generate 1 ton of steam?
80 Kgs
Can burning fossil fuels generate electricity?
Yes, well sort of. Burning fossil fuels is the first step. These fuels heat water and turn it into steam. The steam will drive the turbines. In some cases, turbines are driven by the products of combustion of natural gas instead of steam. The rotating turbines create electricity. See related link.Fossil fuels are things like coal, natural gas, and oil. In most countries, they are used to generate much of the electricity.
