Paper EM2 – Energy Manager – Set B Solutions

Neglecting furnaces pressure could mean problems of cold metal and non-
uniform metal temperatures, which could affect subsequent operations like
forging and rolling and result in increased fuel consumption.

For optimum fuel consumption, slight positive pressure should be maintained


in the furnace because this will prevent cold air infiltration into the furnace.

S-2. The evaporation ratio of a coal fired boiler is 4. Estimate boiler efficiency if
steam enthalpy is 640 kcal/kg; feed water temperature is 55 0C and Calorific
Value of coal is 4000 kcal/kg.

Boiler efficiency = output/input * 100

Boiler efficiency = 100 x Q (H-h) / (q x GCV)

= 4x (640-55) x 100
----------------------- = 58.5 %.
1 x 4000

S-3. Explain how cogeneration is advantageous over separate production of


electricity and heat.
Conventional power plant efficiency is about 35% and remaining 65% energy
is lost. Cogeneration is the simultaneous generation of heat and power, both
of which are utilized. In cogeneration system, efficiency can go up to 90%.
Apart from maximizing efficiency of energy use in cogeneration, there would
be price advantages by way of procuring locally available fuel.

S-4. Explain the constructional and usage differences between fire tube and
water tube boiler.
Fire tube boilers contain steel tubes through which the hot gasses from a
furnace pass and around which the water to be converted to steam circulates.
Water tube boilers in which the conditions are reversed with the water passing
through the tubes and the hot gasses passing outside the tubes. Fire tube
boilers are used for low and medium pressure requirement and sluggish,
while water tube boilers are used for medium and high pressure steam
requirements.

S-5. Briefly explain the principle of a ‘thermocompressor’.


It is possible to compress low pressure steam by very high pressure steam
and reuse it as a medium pressure steam. The major energy in steam is in its
latent heat value and thus thermo compressing would give a large
improvement in waste heat recovery.

The thermo compressor is simple equipment with a nozzle where HP steam is


injected in a convergent divergent nozzle, this creates a large velocity. The
