INTRODUCTION Now a current scenario world energy crisis, which is bound to become more critical, makes it imperative to look for new sources of energy and strive for a more efficient use of existing fuels. Energy demand is more and more now increases and at the same fuel which is use day by day is reduces. Energy sector is one of the important areas in the economic development of any country. Vigorous efforts are being made in almost all the developing and developed countries of the world to find alternative sources of energy. India is second largest country to produce bagasse in the world approximately 14%. In India presently there are more than 571 sugar mills in operation and they produce 2.2 million tons of sugar. Bagasse is the fibrous residue of the sugar cane stalk coming from the mill after crushing and extraction of juice. So there is largest raw material like a fuel is used for Boiler to economical compare to other fuel and produce low pollution. The main problem is to present moisture contents in Bagasse is reduce the performance. So Fuels like ignite coal and Bagasse is mixing with different percentage and analysis of Boiler Direct and Indirect Method and analysis is done on basis of 1 st and 2 nd law, after completing the result which is economic fuel and best suitable for power generation. The objective of this paper is to study the process plant components using the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The concepts of energy and exergy destruction enable us to evaluate the efficiency with which the available energy is consumed. Exergetic analysis provides the tool for a clear distinction between energy losses to the enviornment and internal ireeversibilites in the process. Exergy analysis is a methodology for the evaluation of the performance of devices and processes, and involves examining the exergy at different points in a series of energy conversion steps. The analysis shows that the first law efficiency of Boiler Plant with different fuels like Bagasse and ignite coal and also to use different percentage of them mixing respectively % for (4% B+6% ) is best & as well as exergetic rational efficiency of Boiler Plant is 35.3 %. A. FUES, IT S COMBUSTION & BOIER PANT: - A.1 FUE: - Fuel is, technically speaking, a substance which can chemically react with oxygen and produce heat energy [1]. It can be found in large quantities in nature, it can be transported and stored, it has an acceptable price, and the products of its chemical processes pollute the environment within DOI: /IJMTER FVHB2 17

2 reasonable limits. Its natural substances are of organic origin with more or less combustible parts. The knowledge of the fuel properties helps in selecting the right fuel for the right purpose and efficient use of the fuel. A.2 COMBUSTION: - Combustion involves a chemical reaction during which the interatomic bonds of the molecules of fuel and oxygen are broken and there is rearrangement of atoms in new molecular combination. The new compounds have less energy, and the energy released during combustion equals the difference in the energy of reactants of that of products formed: Fuel + Oxygen CO 2 + H 2 O + N = Heat Products Reactants Fig. 1 Simplified view of solid fuel Combustion is obviously an exothermic reaction; during combustion energy is released to the surroundings in the form of heat which can be used economically for industrial and domestic purposes. Combustion refers to the rapid oxidation of fuel accompanied by the production of heat, or heat and light. Complete combustion of a fuel is possible only in the presence of an adequate supply of oxygen[2]. Nitrogen reduces combustion efficiency by absorbing heat from the combustion of fuels and diluting the flue gases. This reduces the heat available for transfer through the heat exchange surfaces. The objective of good combustion is to release all of the heat in the fuel. This is accomplished by controlling the 3T s of combustion which are: Temp. High enough to ignite & maintain ignition of fuel, Turbulence or intimate mixing of the fuel and oxygen, and Time sufficient for complete combustion. A.3 OVERVIEW OF BOIER PANT: - A boiler is an enclosed vessel that provides a means for combustion heat to be transferred into water until it becomes heated water or steam. Water is a useful and cheap medium for transferring heat to a process. When water is boiled into steam its volume increases about 1,6 times, producing a force that is almost as explosive as gunpowder. This causes the boiler to be extremely dangerous equipment that must be treated with utmost care [3]. The Indian Boilers Act was enacted to consolidate and amend the law relating to steam boilers. Indian Boilers Regulation (IBR) was created in exercise of the powers conferred by section 28 & 29 of the Indian Boilers Act. IBR Steam Boilers means any closed vessel exceeding liters in capacity and which is used expressively for generating steam under pressure and includes any mounting or other fitting attached to such vessel, which is wholly, or partly under pressure when the steam is shut off. II. ITERATUE REVIEW The present reviews the work carried out by various investigators on energy and exergy analysis. Steam and Gas Turbine Plant, Co Generation Plants and chemical and process Industries. More emphasis is given on the power generation industries as it is the aim of the present study. There seems to have less number of studies or reports on the energy and Exergy analyses of bagasse based systems because of using bagasse for producing power and process heat is relatively new technology compared to the conventional coal fired power All rights Reserved 18

Direct is old method which is simple and easy but losses are not identified at various stages of boiler system and it is not use now a days. Indirect method is also called as heat loss method. We can idenfified losses of various system and prevent them and increses the efficiency by decresses the losses. The efficiency can be arrived at, by subtracting the heat loss fractions from All rights Reserved 19

4 B.2 EXERGY ANAYSIS The exergy analysis of boiler plant is carried out in order to find out the lost work. i.e. the difference in exergy supplied and exergy output is the lost work of the system or component. The basic Exergy equation for one kg substance in flowing open systems, disregarding kinetic and potential exergy terms is as follows: Ex = (H H ) T (S S ).(1) Hence from T. J. Kotas [4] for dry organic substance contained in solid fuels consisting of C, H, O, and N, with a mass ratio of oxygen to carbon less than.667, the following expression was obtained in terms of mass ratios. Φ dry = x (h/c) +.61 x (o/c)+.44 x (n/c).(2) For the fossil fuels with the mass ratio 2.67 > o/c >.667, which in particular, includes wood x (h/c) [ x (h/c) x (n/c)] Φ dry = x (o/c).(3) Now Chemical Exergy is given as, ε = [C.V x (Moisture)] x Φ x S.(4) Here different sub regions are as follows, Sub Region I Combustion Chamber Sub Region II Heat Transfer to Water Sub Region III Flue gas mixing with atmosphere Exergy balance in the sub region I gives, I 1 = Ex 1 - Ex 2 Ex 2 = n p2 x ε h p2 + Σ n ε p Σ n ε h p = (θ 2 - θ ) Σ n Cp ε And, Ex 1 = m Fuel x ε Fuel.(5).(6).(7).(8) Fig.2 Simplified view of Boiler All rights Reserved 11

5 So, the 2 nd law efficiency of region I is nd η 2 law = (Ex 2 / Ex 1 ) x 1% I 2 = (Ex 2 - Ex 3 ) (Ex S - Ex FW ) nd η 2 law = [(Ex S - Ex FW ) / Ex 2 ] x 1% So, Irreversibility I 3 = Ex 3 Hence the rational efficiency of the boiler is ψ = [(Ex S - Ex FW ) / Ex 1 ] x 1%.(9).(1).(11).(12) A short calculation of flue gas exergy will be provided based upon certain assumptions. Fuel used in calculation is Bagsse with standard composition which is given in Data. Combustion is complete with 5% of air excess and outgoing flue gas temperature is 151 C.

CONCUSION Fig. 4 Exergetic Efficiency of Region I, II & III vs Fuel Here mixing fuel of Bagasse and ignite coal with different percentage (4% B + 6% ) is the best for economical and environment aspect performance of the boiler for the generation of steam. Here huge difference between first and second law efficiency of the boiler such as 7.55% and 35.3% respectively. Maximum saving the annually fuel and financial for using this composition of fuel in the industries process plant. After completion of combustion process of bagasse, ash is mostly use for the raw material of the Brick and Cement manufacturing so pollution is also reduce and complete the cycle of environment. This is due to large amount of energy degradation. This degradation of energy increases the entropy and hence a decrease in the exergy or second law efficiency.
