The temp of steam entering the condenser is 66" and temp at the air pump section Is 46°C. The barometer reads 76cm of Hg. Find 4, Vacuum in condenser. 2. If discharge of dry alr pump is 90m3/min, find the air leakage in the condenser in kgfhe. [Marks-5] Solution : Considering no ingress of air at the inlet, the pressure in the condenser will be the same as the pressure of the steam entering at that temperature. From the steam table at 56°C, the corresponding pressure = 0,1653 bar absolute = 0.1653 x 750 = 123.88 mm of Hg, Vacuum in the condenser = 760 - 123.98 = 636,02 mm of Hg Now at the outlet the partial pressure of the steam = 0,10101 bar abs. (Irom steam table at 46°C) Therefore the partial pressure of air = 0.1653 ~ 0.10101 = 0.0643 bar The discharge of air pump = 90 m3/ min = §400m3/ hr. Here T = 48°C + 273 = 319 *K,P = 0.0643 bar = 0.0643 x 102 kPa, V = 5400 m3, R of air .294 kl kg" K PV=mRT Therefore mass of air leakage in the condenser per hour m= (0.0843 x 102 x 5400)/ (0.294 x 319)=35416,44/93.786 = 377.63 kg/hr Q.7 : Attempt any two from following.

The outlet gas stream from ESP is 301100m3/hr and the dust loading is 140mg/Nm3. How much fly ash is. collected in the system? Solution : Based on Mass balance, Inlet gas stream dust = Outlet Gas stream dust + Fly ash a) Inlet gas stream flow = 289920 NM3/hr Dust Concentration = 5500 mg/NM3 Inlet dust quantity = 289920 x 5500 /1000000 = 194.50 kg/hr b) Outlet dust quantity = 301 100 (NM/hr) x 110 (mg/NM3) x 1/1000000= 33.12 kg/hr c) Fly Ash = Inlet gas stream dust - Outlet gas stream dust = 1504.56 ~ 33.12 =1561.44 kg/hr website link: httpy/imithileshkhudawal wix.com/boeindia 'YBCS is the Premier BOE Coaching Services in India, where dream convert into reality in very short duration”es indian BOE Coaching Services Gujarat BOE-2018 Paper-1 (Bolier Engg-1) Sciution Q.7(b) : Steam leaving the boiler at a pressure of 12bar enters the super heater where it receives heat at constant pressure.
