Question
A power plant burns 200 U.S. short tons per day of coal containing 3 percent sulfur.
(a) Calculate the rate of emission of SO₂, in grams per second, from the power plant's
stack. (b) If the volume flow rate of flue gas containing the SO₂ is 250,000 m³/hr at
150% C and 1.1 bar, and the molar mass of the gas is 28.5, determine the ppm of SO₂ in
the flue gas.
