Some pollution calculations (all pollution is per tic)
Pollution boiler
- Pollution boiler at full power - 6
- Full power boiler - 390kW
- Pollution per KW Boiler - 0,0154/KW
Pollution coal mining
- Boiler - 390kW
- Boiller eff - 0,5
- Boiler input - 780kW
- Coal energy - 8000kJ
- Speed req coal - 0,0975 coal/sec
- Drill - 90kW
- Poll per tic - 9
- Speed - 0,5 coal/sec
- % output mine for boiler -19.5%
- % output mine for kw power - 0,05%
So the pollution from mining - Pollution mining per KW- 0,0045/KW
- Pollution mining electricity per KW- 0,000693/KW
- Pollution mining total per KW - 0,0052/KW
- Pollution Electric furnace - 0,9
- Pollution Electric furnace per KW - 0,005/KW
- Pollution Total Electric furnace per KW- 0,0256/KW
- Pollution Total Electric furnace- 4,61
- Pollution steel furnace per KW- 0,02/KW Pollution coal mining is half of electric furnace since the steel furnace is 100% efficient
- Pollution mining per KW - 0,0026/KW
- Pollution total steel furnace per KW - 0,0226/KW
- Pollution full power - 4,068
One level 1 efficiency module for the electric furnace will reduce all the pollution with 30% giving 4,61*0.7=3,27, so 1 efficiency module is enough for the electric furnace to be less polluting than the steel furnace.
