    Oil Fired Boiler Steam exam revision question

    So you're saying that, Steam h = 3018.12 kJ/kg Fw h = 209.3 kJ/kg Therefore 3018.12 - 209.3 = 2808.82 kJ/kg Therefore 2808.82 x 1500 = 4213230 kJ/hr This seems a very odd figure... I then assumed for part d, Boiler efficiency = heat absorbed by steam/heat added by steam So 0.7 =...

    Steam Tables: Oil fired boiler questions

    Ah I see my mistake with the answer now, 1050kpa would be 10.5 bar not 1.5 Bar 1.5 bar is 1.5x10^5 pa or n/m^2 Will correct mistake, input correct figures for h and include a better image...

    Cantilever Framework Practice Exam Confusion

Is there a secret way I've never heard of? Any help would be appreciated, it's foundation degree level but probably...
