This book is very helpful for those who want to prepare for the BOE examination because in this book all the topics covered which are asking in Boe examination directly and also solved boe numerical in this book which is repeated again and again into this exam.

TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Properties of steam

Steam uses of steam table - important points to remember- conversation factors - symbols used in steam table - uses of steam table finding saturation temperature , specific volume , specific enthalpy , specific entropy , finding the condition of steam - calculations for finding enthalpy , amount of heat added , increase in volume , external work done , internal energy , specific volume , entropy , change of enthalpy , rise in temperature , dryness fraction of steam , weight and total heat of steam , degree of superheat , increase in volume , amount of steam generated and various problems - Problems for boiler operation engineering examination.

HEAT TRANSFER
PERFORMANCE OF BOILER Important points to remember, calculations for finding actual evaporation , equivalent evaporation , thermal efficiency of Boiler , factor of evaporation , boiler power , percentage of heat loss to flue gases to ashes in unburnt coal , unaccounted heat loss - thermal efficiency of the plant , enthalpy of water entering economiser , % of heat recieved by feed water in economiser , % heat recieved in superheater - superheater heat balance sheet for the boiler . Problems for boiler operation engineering's examination.

4.FUELS AND COMBUSTION

Theoretical air requirement - important points to remember - mass of air required for complete combustion- mass of products of combustion per kg of fuel - percentage composition of dry flue gases by volume - mass of carbon per kg of dry flue gases - Actual air percentage of excess air - Conversion of volume analysis of gas sample to weight analysis - Strength of mixture - volume of air gravimetric - composition of products of combustion - molecular weight - density of gas - lower calorific value - higher calorific value- problems from boiler operation engineering examination
