The first supplier offers coal whose ultimate analysis is: C = 71.5%, H = 5%, 0 = 7%, S = 3.6%, N = 1.3%, A = 8.2%, and M 3.4%. The other supplier offers natural gas whose HHV is 52.2MJ/kg and whose volumetric analysis is: 60% CH4, 30%C2H6, and 10%CO. Excess air for both cases is 20%.

As a patent attorney you are asked to verify if a certain patent application should be approved, which means whatever is being patented must be possible/practical to build and work. The patent presents a new power plant designed to use a fuel capable of achieving a maximum temperature of 550 degrees F. The fluid flowing in the power plant system is to be cooled by a lake with temperature equal to 85 degrees F. The patent application indicates the power plant to be capable of achieving 0.78 thermal efficiency. Should this patent application be approved based on the information available? Why?
