An old diesel power plant provides power for NCR in 23 hours operation per
day. The plant efficiency is 10%. If the mass flowrate of the fuel consumed is
4.5 kg per sec at 35 °C. diameter of day tank used is 10 meters (spherical tank).
Determine
a. °API
b. Output of the power plant in kw – hr.
c. What is the diameter of spherical tank (supply tank) to supply the power plant for 1 year.
d. At question (C), If the supply tank is a cylindrical tank (H = 40m), what is the diameter of
the tank
2. A fuel used in a boiler contains 86.1% carbon, 12.5% hydrogen, 0.4% oxygen
and 1% sulfur with 40% excess air and fuel rate of 400 kg per hr. Determine the
change in temperature of air entering if the air enters an air heater before
combustion chamber with heat energy of 247 Kw.

3. Diesel power plant consumed fuel at 26 °C. The mass of the fuel consumed in 1
day is 200 kg of fuel. Industrial fuel used is 28 °API. Determine
a. The volume of the fuel consumed in liters per hour.
b. Find the diameter of spherical supply tank used to supply the power plant for a week.
c. If the cost of the fuel is P 60 per gallon of fuel. What is the total cost f the fuel in 15 days.
