Question
A fire-tube boiler is used to supply process steam to a plant. The boiler uses
50kg/hr of heavy furnace oil (HFO) with a calorific value of 30MJ/kg. The
steam is generated at a pressure of 1500kPa and a temperature of 400°C.
The boiler has an efficiency of 65% and supply water is entering the plant at
20°C. Water leaves the economiser at 80°C and the evaporator with a
dryness fraction of 0,9. Determine:-
3.1.
the rate at which the steam is generated;
3.2.
the percentage of the total heat absorbed, which took place in the economiser;
3.3.
the percentage of the total heat absorbed, which took place in the evaporator3;
3.4.
the percentage of the total heat absorbed, which took place in the superheater.
3.5.
The equivalent evaporation from and at 100°C.
