Biomass is increasingly used as a fuel to produce power and heat. A sugarcane-­? processing mill is powered by a biomass power plant with 140 MW of electricity and with 60 MW of heat in the form of steam for sugar extraction from the cane. An unknown number of MW of heat is released by the power plant's cooling towers into the atmosphere. If the power plant's thermal efficiency is 45% (a) What heat input in MW does the power plant get from the combustion of biomass; (b) How many MW of heat are released by the power plant into the atmosphere; (c) If each ton of biomass releases 9 million kJ of heat upon combustion, how many tons of biomass annually does the plant consume for its operation; (d) If electricity is worth 11 cents per kW.h, what is the market value of the plant's electricity annually?
