Building Spec - Methane Power Generator

Description

This 30 kW Methane Power generator uses methane gas for generating electricity. Note : every mole of methane (16 g) releases 810 KJ of energy if burning with 2 moles of oxygen (64 g) : CH4(g) + 2O2(g) -> CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g), deltaH = -890 kJ Thus, 890kW requires 16 g/s. Assume electric efficiency at 100%, 1 kW_e requires 1.5960 g/millisol or 1.596 kg/sol
