Example 19.13 _ In an experiment on a small oil-fired boiler, the steam produced is at 6 bar gauge. The quality of steam produced is found out to be 0.96 dry. 75 litres of water is converted into steam in 9.5 minutes. The fuel is a light diesel oil with specific gravity of 0.85 and calo- rific value of 43125 kJ/kg. 10 litres of oil is consumed in 11 minutes and 25 seconds. The feed-water temperature is 35°C. Determine the boiler efficiency, Take atmospher- ic pressure as I bar.
