CRITIQUE PROPER:

The title of the article First and Second Law to analyze the performance of Bagasse Boilers is simple and
with substance, though it can be further be improved to entice more readers to have an easy grasp of
interests. On the abstract part of the article. It is very brief that you cab easily grasp the idea behind
every line in the article. But in the sequencing idea of the abstract, maybe it should also discuss
preliminary procedures involve along with the article for easy scan where to find essential theories for
you as a researcher. The introduction of the article almost wrapped up the whole content of the article.
It is very great and essential in order to understand first on the overview of what are to be discussed
during the length of the article. Perhaps, it should also be included the operation of the two different
boilers, coal and bagasse, not just its fuel, but also the effect of its varying fuel on its operation and
maintenance since it perhaps affects the performance efficiency of each boilers.

Discussion are great, the authors presented reliable facts and theories on the essentialities of each used
formulas and calculations. Citations from other authors can be used more evidently by exactly quoting
on their works and presenting it on the paper especially on the part wherein complexity of ideas from
other authors are bombarding. Also, other authors work should be then be properly quoted and
emphasize that it was from them that the idea is being arrived.

The author can have a more illustrative example especially on the actual sugar plant that uses the set up
from case 1,2,3 and 4 in which the authors indicated that the 3 and 4 are not used nowadays. Also, it can
have an actual computation based on the sugar plant being shown in every case numbers.
