A certain fossil fueled generating station operates at a power of 1,000 MWe at an overall efficiency of 38% and an average capacity factor of 0.70. If each pound of coal produces 13,000 Btu, how many tons of coal does the plant consume in 1 year? If an average coal carrying railroad car carries 100 tons of coal, how many car loads must be delivered to the plant on an average day? If the coal contains l.5% by weight sulfur and in the combustion process this all goes up the stack as SO2, how much SO2 does the plant produce in 1 year?
