1. Prepare an 8-item heat balance in kJkg of fuel and in % of HHV bases. Tabulate
results in kJkg,kJhr and % bases.
2. What is the overall steam generator efficiency? Analyze this item. Can This be
improved? How? Support your answer with computations if possible.
3. Analyze the losses too, can these be reduced? How? Support your answer with
computations if possible.
