Heat Capacity of Fuel Mixtures

The issue of increasing the thermal efficiency of boiler units through the use of fuel mixtures is considered. A calculation method for the heat capacity of such mixtures, considering component ratios, is presented. The study includes the calculation of burner thermal power using different proportions of coal, methane, and hydrogen. A transition to conventional fuel units was made, allowing for standardized calculations. A graphical representation of the relationship between component consumption and required power is provided. Parameter ranges ensuring the rated burner power are established. The results are applicable for optimizing combustion processes in energy installations
