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.
True enough, such a rewarding option has also helped car makers like Toyota to learn from this new development. One of the top model hybrid cars of this Japan-based car manufacturing, the Prius, has been the optimum target of clients because of their transportation needs today. And mind you, the Prius doesn't come cheap. One unit alone costs $32,000, not a cheap price to pay for hybrid cars offered for the greener outlook nowadays.
Very jerky ride when it changes gears from D1 to D2, there is a delay in the transmission engaging. I took it with a dealer with 1000 miles and they also said they were upgrading the application which would fix it, nothing changed. Just had 5000 mile oil change and another dealer claims this is how Audi's shift and absolutely nothing abnormal to report.
