Boiler Performance and Efficiency



Here it is again.. Im back with another problem to solve. Ever since i joined the company, I have been learning so much that sometimes I feel overwhelmed. During my days in University, subjects like thermodynamics, heat transfer and etc are no alien to me more so that I major in thermal engineering.

So i'm handed with this task and I have taken the initiative to blog it down. I think this is a great motivation in allowing me to log in with my progress and not being lost each time I thought of the solution to the problem. This would be my first blog post for this project.



Let's start. 

So the boilers that im working on is a water type boilers. Which means it will have water in the tubes and gets heated up by the flue gas coming from the exhaust of the gas turbines. Thus, this is how far i have come about with the formulas.

The thing is that i have quite lacking in this department. What does constant pressure (Cp) affect to the heat equation? Let's find out shall we.

Week 20

Well well well..looks like time really has fly real quick and it was great.In matters of just weeks, I would be on my way to receive my results as to fully officiate me as a graduate engineer.

This blog was suppose to track my time and my journey as to how I'm progressing through my final year project and looks like it got out of my mind to blog. Ah the lazy 'ol me again

Nevertheless, this blog post is to show that I actually did it. I did not just finish it greatly but I also got chosen to join the final year project competition

Well I do hope that I would be able to finish all of the work to decorate my booth during the presentation. Though I think that my project might not be that significant, at least I have tried. :)
