(2) LHV quoted for gas appears to have 2 extra zeros. Natural gas is 1,000 Btu/SCF. Multiply by 379 SCF/lb, you get 379,000 Btu/lb. Multiply by 2.326,
you get 881,550 kJ/kgmole. So 823, 400 kJ/kgmole appears more in order with some inerts like CO2 in gas. Check at your end.
(3) Power = 200 kW. At say 25% turbine efficiency, fuel fired = 200/0.25 = 800 kW
(4) Oil. Assume diesel. Density 830 kg/m3 = 0.83 kg/l. Assume LHV 45,000 kJ/kg. Fuel = 200/0.25*3600/45000/.83 = 77.1 lph. Matches. Based on 83.5
lph (69.3 kh/h), turbine net efficiency is 23%. Not 70% as you say
(5) Gas. Fuel = 200/0.23*3600/823,400 =3.79 kg.mole/h. If you assume a mol wt of 18, flow 68 kg/h gas. Sounds OK
