Problem

A Lancashire boiler generators 2400 kg of dry steam per hour at a pressure

of 11 bar. The grate area is 3m² and 90 kg of coal is burnt per m² of grate
area per hour, the calorific value of the coal is 33180 KJ/kg and
temperature of feed water is 17.5 degree Centigrade.
Determine actual evaporation per kg of coal, equivalent of evaporation "
from and at 100 degree centigrade " and efficiency of boiler.
Efficiency of Boiler
 Л = Heat actually used in producing steam / Heat liberated in furnace
= me(h-hf)/c
me= Mass of water actually evaporates in kg/kg of fuel
C= calorific value of fuel in kJ/kg
H= Enthalpy of dry saturated steam
Hf= enthalpy of feed water.
Me= Ms/Mf in kg/kg of fuel
Ms= total mass of water Evaporated in steam in kg
Mf= mass of fuel used in kg.
So = me(h-hf)/c
or
= ms( h-hf1)/mf*c
