Question

A boiler produces 1000 kg/hr steam with rise in­ enthalpy of steam of 2500 kJ/kg. The calorific value of coal used is 30000 kJ/kg and its consumption is 100 kg/hr. What would be the boiler efficiency?

एक बॉयलर 1000 kg/hr भाप पैदा करता है, जिसकी भाप की एन्थैल्पी में 2500 kJ/kg की वृद्धि होती है। उपयोग किए गए कोयले का कैलोरी मान 30000 kJ/kg है और इसकी खपत 100 kg/hr है। बॉयलर की दक्षता क्या होगी?

A.

73.33%

B.

18.33%

C.

8.33%

D.

83.33% 

Answer ( Option D)

83.33% 

Solution

The thermal efficiency of boiler is calculated as:

           

Where, Q is steam generated kg/hr

            H is steam enthalpy kJ/kg

            h is feed water enthalpy kJ/hr

            q is fuel quantity used per hour kg/hr

Putting the above values from the given data we have 

Hence, the correct option is (D).
