A steam generator evaporates (17,000 mathrm{~kg} / mathrm{h}) of steam at 14 bar and quality of 0.95

Question:

A steam generator evaporates \(17,000 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{h}\) of steam at 14 bar and quality of 0.95 from feed water at \(102^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). When coal is fired at the rate of \(2,050 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{h}\) having a calorific value of \(27,400 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kg}\). Assume the specific heat of water as \(4.187 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kgK}\). Calculate: (i) Heat supplied per hour, (ii) Thermal efficiency, and (iii) Equivalent evaporation.
