Can the fuel consumption of a heating furnace be determined without knowing the heat load?
Thread Content
The known conditions are as follows: the flow rate of the crude bottom oil is 400 T/H, the inlet temperature is 302°C and the outlet temperature is 360°C; for steam, the inlet temperature is 240°C and the outlet temperature is 316°C, with a flow rate of 3 T/H. I’m just starting to learn **calculation; please help me out with some guidance. Thank you.
Yes, if the properties of the base oil are known, the heat load of the heating furnace can be calculated based on the aforementioned known values. The design thermal efficiency of the heating furnace can be determined in accordance with SY/T0538—2004, the Standard for Tubular Heating Furnaces. Knowing the lower heating value of the fuel allows for the calculation of the fuel consumption of the heating furnace
Thanks for the help:handshake
