Maintain 850 OC for 1 hour (soaking time).  Cool the material to 60 OC in 4 hours. a) Calculate the efficiency of the furnace, if the specific heat of steel is 0.12 kcal/kgOC and fuel oil consumption per batch is 1400 litres.  GCV of fuel oil - 10200 kcal/kg,  Cost of fuel oil - Rs. 46,000/kL,  Sp. gr. of fuel oil - 0.92. b) Due to high cost of oil, the plant management decides to convert to a lower operating cost LPG fired furnace lined on the inside with ceramic fibre insulation and with an operating efficiency of 80%, for same requirement. The investment towards installation of the new furnace is Rs. 50 lakhs. Calculate the Return on Investment, if the plant operates two batches per day and 250 days in a year.  Cost of LPG - Rs. 75/kg,  GCV of LPG - 12500 kcal/kg.

Description : In a heat treatment shop, steel components are heat-treated in batches of 80 Tons. The  heat treatment cycle is as follows;  Increase temperature from 30 OC to 850 OC in 3 hours.  ... efficiency of 80%, for same requirement. The investment towards installation of  the new furnace is Rs. 50

Last Answer : Quantity of steel treated per batch - 80 Tons a. Efficiency of Furnace: Useful heat supplied to steel - 80000 x 0.12 x (850 - 30)   = 7872000 kcal/batch .1 mark Total heat ... = Rs. 64400/batch Efficiency of new LPG furnace - 80% Heat supplied in new LPG furnace - 7872000/0.8
