Afuel oil is burned with air in a boiler furnace. the combustion produces x kw of thermal energy, of which 65% is transferred as heat to boiler tubes that pass through the furnace. the combustion products pass from the furnace to a stack at 550°c. water enters the boiler tubes as a liquid at 30°c and leaves the tubes as saturated steam at 20 bar absolute. (a) calculate the rate (kg/sec) at which steam is produced. (b) estimate the volumetric flow rate of steam produced (m^3/sec) using the steam tables. (c) repeat part (b) using the ideal gas law. which result would you trust more, and why? (d) what happened to the 35% of the combustion energy that did not get transferred to the boiler tubes?

Adouble-strand no. 60 roller chain is used to transmit power between a 13-tooth driving sprocket rotating at 300 rev/min and a 52-tooth driven sprocket. a) what is the allowable horsepower of this drive? b) estimate the center-to-center distance if the chain length is 82 pitches. c) estimate the torque and bending force on the driving shaft by the chain if the actual horsepower transmitted is 30 percent less than the corrected (allowable) power.
