Calculate the motor power required to drive a fan which maintains a draught of 45 mm of water under the following conditions, (a) Induced draught and (b) Forced draught. The temperature of the fuel gases leaving the boiler in each case is 200 degrees *C and the boiler house temperature is 33 degrees * C The air supplied is 18.5 kg per kg of the fuel. The mass of coal burnt per hour is 1820 kg. Assume a fan efficiency of 80% in both the cases. Comment on the result.

Calculate the motor power required to drive a fan
which maintains a draught of 45 mm of water
under the following conditions,
(a) Induced draught and
(b) Forced draught.
The temperature of the fuel gases leaving the
boiler in each case is 200 degrees * C and the
boiler house temperature is 33 degrees * C The
air supplied is 18.5 kg per kg of the fuel. The
mass of coal burnt per hour is 1820 kg. Assume a
fan efficiency of 80% in both the cases. Comment
on the result.
