TUTORIAL SHEET - 3
1- How much is used/kg of coal burnt in a boiler having chimney of 35 m
height to create a draught of 20 mm of water, when the temperature of flue
gas in the chimney is 370°C and the boiler house temperature is 34°C. Does
this chimney satisfy the condition of maximum discharge?
Answers: 18.683 kg of air/kg of coal, W = 21.172
2- Calculate the mass of flue gases flowing through the chimney when
draught produced is equal to 1.9 cm of water. Temperature of flue gases is
290° C and the ambient temperature is 20° C. The flue gases formed per kg
of fuel burnt are 23 kg. Neglect the losses and take the diameter of chimney
as 1.8 m.
Answers: H= 34.67 m , H1 == 29.05 m of air, mg = 39.8 kg/s
3- A boiler generates 2400 kg of dry steam per hour at a pressure of 11 bar
the grate area is 3 m2, and 90 kg of coal is burnt per m2 of grate area per
hour. The calorific value of coal is 33180 kJ/kg and the temperature of feed
water is 17.5° C. Determine (i) Actual evaporation per kg of coal
(ii) Equivalent evaporation from and at 100° C (iii) efficiency of the boiler.
Answers: 8.889 kg/kg of fuel, 10.659 kg/kg of coal, 86.93%
