What are the advantages and disadvantages of a diesel power plant?

The diesel engine is also known as a compression ignition engine to distinguish it from gasoline or spark ignition. Thermodynamically the diesel engine cycle is more efficient than gasoline (Otto cycle) because efficiency increases with compression ratio. Gasoline would ignite at compression ratios over 10 because of the heat generated during compression of the air and gasoline vapor. Diesel fuel is injected into the cylinder at much higher pressures than allowable in gasoline engines.

Diesel power plants are efficient but the fuel is to expensive. Coal and natural gas are much cheaper fuels.

Diesel fuel is more stable than gasoline (does not form a sludge easily like gasoline does) and therefore the engine and fuel can be left on standby for long periods. This makes diesel a good choice for emergency back up such as in fire protection systems and standby generators.

Small scale diesel generators have lower capital cost than a boiler and steam turbine, which would be orders of magnitude larger in size. Also, steam power plants need a staff of operators.

What are effects of load shedding on industries?

Loss of production: where most industries use electricity for machinery, technology and light to complete the day’s work, loss of electrical power means that the day’s target cannot be completed.

Loss of profit: with the loss of production, there is a loss of profit, and in some cases, a large loss. Industries cannot keep pay their employees to be present during a power outage as essentially they will be paying a ‘non-worker’.

What is the heat content of coal in mmbtu per ton?

Anthracite is coal with the highest carbon content, between 86 and 98 percent, and a heat value of nearly 15,000 BTUs-per-pound. Most frequently associated with home heating, anthracite is a very small segment of the U.S. coal market. There are 7.3 billion tons of anthracite reserves in the United States, found mostly in 11 northeastern counties in Pennsylvania. The most plentiful form of coal in the United States, bituminous coal is used primarily to generate electricity and make coke for the steel industry. The fastest growing market for coal, though still a small one, is supplying heat for industrial processes. Bituminous coal has a carbon content ranging from 45 to 86 percent carbon and a heat value of 10,500 to 15,500 BTUs-per-pound. Ranking below bituminous is subbituminous coal with 35-45 percent carbon content and a heat value between 8,300 and 13,000 BTUs-per-pound. Reserves are located mainly in a half-dozen Western states and Alaska. Although its heat value is lower, this coal generally has a lower sulfur content than other types, which makes it attractive for use because it is cleaner burning. Lignite is a geologically young coal which has the lowest carbon content, 25-35 percent, and a heat value ranging between 4,000 and 8,300 BTUs-per-pound. Sometimes called brown coal, it is mainly used for electric power generation.

Information about load shedding?

Load shedding is also known as a rolling blackout. It is an intentionally engineered electrical power shutdown, electricity delivery is stopped for non-overlapping periods of time over different parts of the distribution region. This is a last-resort that electric companies use to avoid a total blackout of the power system.

What is the damage that load shedding causes?

Load shedding causes significant economic damage by disrupting businesses and industries, leading to lost productivity and revenue. It also affects households, compromising access to essential services like heating, cooling, and refrigeration. Additionally, frequent power outages can damage electrical appliances and infrastructure, resulting in costly repairs. Overall, load shedding has far-reaching social and economic consequences, particularly in regions heavily reliant on consistent electricity supply.

What are the effects of load shedding on rural life?

The effects load shedding, or temporarily denying electric power to an area, are bad everywhere. People in the rural areas need electricity just as much as people in the urban areas do.

Load shedding is prevalent mainly in developing countries, where there is a shortage of electric power generating capacity.

In developed economies people are so used to using electricity in their homes (for lights, fans, A/C's, televisions, computers, etc) and their offices, and in their industries, they can hardly understand how devastating load shedding can be to being able to enjoy living a happy life.

What uses more electricity - keeping a fridge door open for a while or constantly opening and closing it during this time?

Every time you open your fridge door - or indeed your freezer's door - it allows cold air to fall out onto the floor of the room. If this is allowed to happen for more than a few moments the thermostat inside the fridge or freezer, sensing that too much cold air has gone, will turn on the fridge's motor and compressor pump to cool down the new air. The more the compressor pump and its motor are forced to run unnecessarily, the more electricity would be used, with the consequence that the money to pay for that electricity would simply be wasted.

Knowing those "facts of life" it should be easy to understand why it is better to keep the door closed as much as possible instead of leaving it to hang open for more than the short time it takes to load or unload food from the fridge.

How much energy is wasted by keeping the refrigerator door open while placing food on counter and then returning to the fridge for more ingredients?

Well if you divide the number of items by the distance traveled you will get x. Now x is equivelant to the distance of y which is found through the speed of the door opening and closing due to the turbulence. Now the tricky part. This is where pithagerus' theorem comes into play. If x is equal to y then the number of steps taken will be z. z and x are totally different numbers but as I said before x is equal to y. y is also equal to z. but remember z is not equal to x. So if you take fifteen steps and the distance is 7 meters, you will have the amount of f*cks given by anyone on this entire website. Hope that helped
