BOILERS

PROBLEM 1
The percent rating of water tube boiler is 200%,
factor of evaporation of 1.08 and heating
surface area is 256m2. Find the rate of
evaporation.
PROBLEM 2
Two boilers are operating steadily on 91,000 kg
of coal contained in a bunker. One boiler is
producing 1591 kg of steam per hour at 1.2
factor of evaporation and an efficiency of 65%
and another boiler produces 1364 kg of steam
per hour at 1.15 factor of evaporation and an
efficiency of 60%. How many hours will the coal
in the bunker run the boilers if the heating value
of coal is 7590 Kcal/kg?
PROBLEM 3
A steam generating plant consisting of a boiler, an
economizer and superheater generates
superheated steam at the rate of 50 tons/hr. Feed
water enters the boiler at % Mpa and 120C. Steam
leaves the superheater at 4.5 Mpa and 320C. If the
coal used has a heating value of 30,000 KJ/kg,
calculate the number of tons of coal fired per hour
for a gross efficiency of 85%.
STEAM TURBINE
PROBLEM 1
A steam turbine with 90% stage efficiency
receives steam at 7 Mpa and 550C and exhausts
at 20 Kpa. Determine the turbine work.
PROBLEM 2
A steam turbine with 90% stage efficiency
receives steam at 7 Mpa and 550C and exhausts
as 20 Kpa. Determine the quality at exhaust.
PROBLEM 3
A small steam turbine power plant of 5,000 KW
capacity has a full load steam rate of 6 kg steam
per KW-hr. No load steam consumption may be
taken as 10% of the full load steam
consumption. Write the equations of WILLANS
LINE of this turbine and at 60% of rated load,
calculate the hourly steam consumption of this
unit.
CHIMNEY
PROBLEM 1
A coal fired steam boiler uses 3000 kg of coal
per hour. Air required for combustion is 15.5 kg
per kg of coal at barometric pressure of 98.2
Kpa. The flue gas has temperature of 285C and
an average molecular weight of 30. Assuming an
ash loss of 11% and allowable gas velocity of 7.5
m/sec, find the diameter of the chimney.
