how to calculate coal consumption per unit generation?
Depends on the calorific value & other parameters as mentioned .
LCV - 5700 Kcal/kg= aaprox. 131.4 kg steam/T coal
HCV - 6200 Kcal/kg= approx. 120.5 kg steam/T coal
Presuming:
Q = 1000 kg/hr heat output
T = 179C
P = 10 bar
Tf= 100C feed water temperature
hs = 663 kcal/kg (total heat)
hf= 65 kcal/kg(heat from water)
Hv= calorific value of fuel kcal/kg
Fuel Consumption = Heat output x (Total heat output - heat in water)
-------------------------------------------------
Efficiency x Fuel Heating value
FC = QC x (hs-hf)/Eff.(80%) x Hv
Trust this helps.
