Some algae species are 50% or maybe more lipid oil by weight. This oil can be pressed in the algae and refined into diesel. The process for extracting algal oil, at its most elementary level, is similar to pressing an olive. Up to 75% with the oil could be squeezed from algae which has a simple mechanical press. Hexane may be used as a solvent to increase extraction as much as 95%. Once extracted, the oil is refined through transesterification. A catalyst including sodium hydroxide is when combined alcohol to create biodiesel and glycerol.
Coal based power makes up about almost 41 % with the world's electricity generation. Coal fired power plants operate on the modified Rankine thermodynamic cycle.The efficiency is dictated by the parameters with this thermodynamic cycle. The overall coal plant efficiency ranges from 32 % to 42 %. This is mainly dictated through the Superheat and Reheat steam temperatures and Superheat pressures. Most in the large power plants operate at steam pressures of 170 bar and 570 ??C Superheat, and 570 ?? C reheat temperatures. The efficiencies of such plants range between 35 % to 38 %. Super critical power plants operating at 220 bar and 600/600 ??C is capable of efficiencies of 42 %. Ultra super critical pressure power plants at 300 bar and 600/600 ??C is capable of doing efficiencies inside the selection of 45% to 48 % efficiency.
