Please answer the following questions and show solutions completely. Thanks!
1.) A steam boiler produces 31 English ton of steam from 1 a.m to 7 p.m
continuous operation per day. The steam enters the turbine at 31 bar and 310
degrees Celsius. The pump feeds the boiler with water that has a temperature of
91 degrees Celsius. If the burner in the boiler uses bunker diesel fuel with 37.1
degrees API, calculate the volume of diesel that must be burned in gallons/minute
if the efficiency of the boiler is 91.7% The temperature of the Diesel is supplied to
the boiler at 31.7 degrees Celsius.
2.) Four boilers operating steadily on 400 metric tons of high-grade bituminous
coal contained in a bunker. Boiler 1 produces 2.4 metric tons/hr of steam at 42
mpa and 420 degrees Celsius and feedwater temperature of 94 degrees Celsius
with an efficiency of 842%. Boiler 2 produces 34 of the Boiler 1 steaming
capacity at saturated steam at 2.4mpa and the feedwater temperature of 92
degrees Celsius with 82% efficiency. The third boiler produces 23 steaming
capacity of Boiler 2 at 250 degrees Celsius saturated with 82.5% efficiency. Boiler
4 produces 54 of Boiler 3 steaming capacity with factor of evaporation of 1.3 and
boiler efficiency of 95.4%. Compute the number of days the coal in the bunker
runs the four boilers if the coal has a heating value of 44,250 KJ/kg. Assume
20-bour operation per day.
3.) The following coal has the following ultimate dry analysis by weight. C=75%,
H=15%,O=0.5%,N=0.5%,S=8% and Ash =1.5%. The steaming capacity of
the boiler using this coal is 75 short ton covering a period of 1 a.m to 7 p.m.
Calculate the volume of air needed in ft???3sec at 100.2kpa and 32C with a excess
air of 32% The boiler efficiency is 92% The stream leaves the boiler at 82 bar and
530 degrees Celsius while the feedwater enters the boiler at 92 degrees Celsius.
