Efficiency = M /
[(1+B) M + A Mmax]
where
M = mass flow of
steam
Mmax = maximum
mass flow of steam
When you select this the Boiler efficiency will be
Variable efficiency A & B = Efficiency
ignored and the efficiency calculated by the

Default values (A =
0.0126, B = 0.2156)
are supplied using
boiler data obtained
from Patternson and
& Sharma (1980)
This will show how the Variable

operating range of the boiler.
Steam Flows User specified steam flowrates
these values are used to target the
steam production. Given the inlet

Apart from mechanical strength, it is
the control logic and
