A boiler produces steam at the rate of 1500 kg per hour at 12.5 bar. The water fed to the economizer is at a temperature of 35 C and it is raised to a temperature of 110 C before feeding it to the boiler. Coal is fired at a rate of 200 kg per hour. The dryness fraction of the steam generated is 0.87. If 15% of the coal remains unburnt and the calorific value of the coal being fired is 36200 kJ/kg, determine the overall efficiency.
