A boiler burns 500 kg/h of oil of net calorific value 42 MJ/kg. The heat input is

  • A.5.83 MW
  • B.21 MW
  • C.58.3 MW
  • D.0.58 MW

Answer: A

Five hundred kilograms an hour is 0.139 kilograms a second, and multiplying by 42 megajoules a kilogram gives 5.83 megawatts. Converting the hourly figure to a per-second one before multiplying is the step most often fumbled.
