Natural Gas
How is natural gas converted to electricity? How effective is the process in real life?
I need to find the conversion factor gallons of gas in kWh of electricity for a natural gas plant in Louisiana. When I calculate it using heat from the combustion of natural gas, it gives me a very important value for kwh of electricity, however, using data from DOE me gives a value much lower. I do not understand what is the conversion factor and how effective the process. Please be as specific as possible.
As with any method of combustion energy creation, it has a very low yield, yeah the first law of thermodynamics Does your performance and theoretical energy beats the hell out of him. based on this process of plant uses, you will get the values of efficiency ranging from less than 15% in mid-range of 30%.
