How much coal is required to generate 1 ton of steam?

On average, it takes about 0.4 to 0.5 tons of coal to generate 1 ton of steam in a coal-fired power plant. However, this can vary depending on the efficiency of the plant and the quality of the coal being used.


What is a ton of steam?

A ton of steam is a unit of measurement used in industrial processes to quantify the amount of steam produced or used. It is equivalent to 2,000 pounds or approximately 907 kilograms of steam.


How much mmbtu is required to produce one ton of steam?

The amount of MMbtu required to produce one ton of steam can vary depending on the efficiency of the boiler and the pressure of the steam. On average, it takes about 10-12 MMbtu to produce one ton of steam at standard conditions.


What does a nuclear reactor produce?

In a nuclear power plant, the nuclear reactors are (generally) fission reactors that split atoms (of nuclear fuel) through a continuous, controlled neutron chain reaction. The primary useful product of a nuclear reactor is heat. The heat is used to generate steam that will drive steam turbines to generate electric power. Reactors are also used to produce nuclear material that is then applied to medicine or to make sources for radiography (x-ray pictures of welds and stuff) and other applications. There are other applications, like the generation of plutonium which is used for weapons or fuel for other reactors. Most reactors are designed, constructed and used to generate electric power. These reactors are set up to deliver large quantities of heat that is used to produce steam. This steam is used to drive steam-driven turbines, which generate electricity. There is a ton of information about the types of reactors and the applications to which they are put available from our friends at Wikipedia. A link is provided.
