How to Calculate and Solve for %Heat Loss through Body | Fuel and Furnaces
Last Updated on July 31, 2021
The image above represents %heat loss through body.
To compute for %heat loss through body, four essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Heat Loss i (Hi), Heat Loss ∂i (H∂i), Gross Calorific Value of Oil (GCVoil) and Quantity of Oil per Hour (QH).
The formula for calculating %heat loss through body:
%QL = 100(Hi + H∂i/GCVoil + QH)
Where:
%QL = %Heat Loss through Body
Hi = Heat Loss i
H∂i = Heat Loss ∂i
GCVoil = Gross Calorific Value of Oil
QH = Quantity of Oil per Hour
Let’s solve an example;
Find the %heat loss through body when the heat loss is 21, the heat loss is 14, the gross calorific value of oil is 10 and the quantity of oil per hour is 11.
This implies that;
Hi = Heat Loss i = 21
H∂i = Heat Loss ∂i = 14
GCVoil = Gross Calorific Value of Oil = 10
QH = Quantity of Oil per Hour = 11
%QL = 100(Hi + H∂i/GCVoil + QH)
%QL = 100(21 + 14/10 + 11)
%QL = 100(35/21)
%QL = 100(1.66)
%QL = 166.66
Therefore, the %heat loss through body is 166.66%
