Indirect Method of Boiler Efficiency calculation formulas

Boiler Efficiency [1] = 100 – [sum of seven losses]

Percentage Heat Loss due to,

mC pf (T f −T a )
1. Dry flue gas ¿ 100 where GCV=8280*(1-M)-2160*S)
GCV

[584 +C ¿ ¿ p (T f −T a )]
2. Evaporation of water formed due to H2 in fuel ¿ 9 H 2 100 ¿
GCV

[584 +C ¿ ¿ p(T f −T a )]
3. Moisture in fuel ¿ M 100 ¿
GCV

¿
4. Moisture present in air ¿ AAS X humidity Factor X C p (T f −T a )¿ GCV 100

Total ash collected per kg of Fuel Burnt X GCV of Fly Ash


5. Unburnt in fly ash ¿ 100
GCV of fuel

Total ash collected per kg of Fuel Burnt X GCV of bottom Ash


6. Unburnt in bottom ash ¿ 100
GCV of fuel

7. Radiation & other unaccounted loss 1-2% or 0.1-1% for large boilers

Where,
1. m = mass of dry flue gas in kg/kg of fuel
Cpf = Specific heat of flue gas (0.23 kcal/kg °C)
Tf= Flue gas temp Deg C
Ta = Ambient air Temp Deg C
GCV = GCV of fuel in kcal/kg
2. H2 – kg of H2 in 1 kg of fuel
Cp – Specific heat of superheated steam (0.45 kcal/kg °C)
3. M – kg of moisture in 1kg of fuel & 584 is the latent heat corresponding to the
partial pressure of water vapour.
4. AAS = Actual air supplied
Mass of Flue gas for wet bagasse (50% Moisture)
The flue gases liberate during wet bagasse combustion included all the elements defined in dry bagasse
combustion, addition to the oxygen that contained in the excess air, The total amount of flue gases that
liberated during wet bagasse combustion is 4.22 kg/kg of bagasse (2).
