Question
A coal-fired boiler is used to supply 18 000 kg/hr of steam at 12.5 bar with a dryness
fraction of 0.97 to a dyehouse.
Feedwater temperature is 105 °C with coal supplied at
2 040 kg per hour to the combustion chamber. Assuming the calorific value of coal to be
27.4 MJ / kg and the specific heat capacity of feedwater to be 4.18 kJ/kg K , determine:
the heat rate in kJ/hr
the thermal efficiency of the boiler
Complaints are received from the neighbourhood about the deposit of fly-ash and
particulate matter on houses and buildings.
Discuss briefly ONE POSSIBLE cause of this problem referring to the boiler
operation and maintenance.
Suggest TWO ways of addressing the above problem.
