1. A major coal fired electrical power plant produces 13,000 MW-hr of electrical energy per day.
A. Assuming that 1.0 MW-hr corresponds to 3,400,000 BTU’s, how many BTU’s are produced by the plant each day?
B. Assuming that one pound of coal can produce 5000 BTU’s, how many pounds of coal are used by the plant each day?

2. A major coal fired electrical power plant uses 4500 tons of coal each day.  Each pound of coal can produce 5000 BTU’s of electrical energy.  Given: 3400 BTU’s are equivalent to 1.0 kW-hr of energy.

A. How many kW-hr of electrical energy are produced by the plant each day?
