A biomass furnace is tested to determine its performance in terms of heating and evaporating water. The furnace has a grate diameter of 0.3 m and a combustion chamber volume of 0.12 cubic meter. Wood is used as fuel with heating value of around 4,000 kcal/kg. Seventy-five liters of water, at 29°C, is used in the test using a stainless-steel boiler for 2.5 hours operation. The amount of water evaporated after the test is 7 liters. The total amount of fuel consumed is 12 kg.   Find the following: Fuel Consumption Rate Power Input Heat Used in Boiling Water

Question

A biomass furnace is tested to determine its performance in terms of heating and evaporating water.

The furnace has a grate diameter of 0.3 m and a combustion chamber volume of 0.12 cubic meter.

Wood is used as fuel with heating value of around 4,000 kcal/kg. Seventy-five liters of water, at 29°C,

is used in the test using a stainless-steel boiler for 2.5 hours operation. The amount of water

evaporated after the test is 7 liters. The total amount of fuel consumed is 12 kg.

 

Find the following:

  1. Fuel Consumption Rate
  2. Power Input
  3. Heat Used in Boiling Water
  4. Heat Used in Evaporating Water
  5. Furnace Efficiency
  6. Power Output
  7. Specific Fuel Burning Rate
  8. Specific Grate Area
  9. Specific Combustion Chamber Volume
