Thanks a lot Feric for your plots & also for your spreadsheet where I did pug in my numbers and calculated HHV in Btu/lb. However I calculated the fuel flow from my previously mentioned equation and calculated boiler efficiency that gave me a reasonable figure (74%). Thank you 25362 for your...
Thanks so much for all your responses. The air is heated beforehand in a preheater by steam (maximum flow 250,000 lb/hr) and then fed to the burner. Actually I need the max air flow to this heater which I am trying to figure out from the combustion data.
Is it logical to consider the heated...
I need to calculate the air flow (lb/hr) required for burning No#2 oil (Higher calorific value= 20,516 Btu/lb). Here 16.8 lb(allowing 25% excess air) of air is required for burning 1 lb oil. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
