📐 Chemical Absorption & Thermal Regeneration Relations

• Stripper Reboiler Heat Duty: Q_reb (MWth) = (CO2_tons/day * Specific_Duty_GJ/t) / 86.4

• Steam Heat Cost ($/ton CO2) = Specific_Duty_GJ/t * 0.9478 MMBtu/GJ * Steam_Price_$/MMBtu

• Compressor Power: P_comp (MWe) = (CO2_tons/day * Compression_kWh/ton) / 24,000

• Electrical Cost ($/ton CO2) = Compression_kWh/ton * Power_Price_$/kWh

• Net Cashflow = Annual_CO2_tons * [Section_45Q_Credit - (Steam_Cost + Elec_Cost + O&M)]
