Question

The average emission rates in the United States from burning coal are 13 lb/MWh (pounds per megawatt hour) of SO2 and 6 lb/MWh of NOx. (A pound is a unit of mass, and a megawatt hour is a unit of energy. ) Imagine that a scientist developed a new emission control device that can cut each of these emissions to 35% of the current output. If the device were installed, what would the average emission rates change to?

Answer 1

With a NOx release speed of 2.1 lb/MWh, the run-of-the-mill SO2 spilling over rate would be 4.55 lb/MWh.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is Plato answer but slightly paraphrased.

Answer 2

The average emission of SO2 would be 4.55 lb/MWh, and the average emission of NOx would be 2.1 lb/MWh.
