Determine the height of the chimney to get net draught of 12mm if the total losses are 4mm. the temperature of air is 25^oC and the temperature of chimney gases is 300^oC. The mass of air used per kg of fuel used is 18kg. One kg of air occupies a volume of 0.7734m^3 at normal temperature?(a) 26.84(b) 20.22(c) 29.93(d) 18.09I have been asked this question in an online quiz.I want to ask this question from Draught System topic in chapter Steam Generators & Accessories of Energy Engineering

Answer»

The correct answer is (c) 29.93

Explanation: Density of AIR at NORMAL temperature = 1/0.7734

= 1.293Kg/m^3

Density of air at 298K, ρa = 1.293 × 273/298

= 1.1845 Kg/m^3

Density of gases at 573K, ρg = 1.293 × ((18+1)/18) × 273/573

= 0.65 Kg/m^3

But, P = 12 + 4

= 16 mm of water

P = H (ρa – ρg)

16 = H (1.1845 – 0.65)

H = 29.93m
