F. Calculations

Power supplied

The power supplied to the boiler can be calculated using the fuel mass flow rate and the thermal power of the
combustion gas Hu.

Boiler steam power the steam volume is calculated from the amount of condensation VC, density, and the
measuring time

CHE 3313 Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics

Boiler efficiency

The boiler efficiency is calculated from the relationship of steam power and fuel power.
