Question
  1. In a boiler installation the height of chimney is 38 m and the hot gas temperature is 570 K and
    ambient air temperature is 300 K. Considering the diameter of chimney to be 2m, air/fuel ratio
    being 19 determine the mass flow rate of flue gases flowing out.
  2. Determine the power required for a forced draught and induced draught fan in a boiler having coal
    consumption of 25 kg/min and air/fuel ratio of 19 by mass. The ambient air temperature and hot
    gas temperature at exit are 30C and 140C respectively. Draught required is equivalent to 32.2 mm
    of water and mechanical efficiency of motor/fan is merely 70%.
