Boiler Efficiency Direct Method Matlab Code

This document contains code to calculate the efficiency of a pulverized boiler by the direct method. It provides key parameters like the mass of coal burnt being 125 tons/hour, mass of steam generated being 690 tons/hour, and high calorific value of coal being 4097 kcal/kg. The code then prompts the user to input values like enthalpy of feedwater and steam before calculating the equivalent evaporation, total heat given to produce 1kg of steam, and the overall boiler efficiency.
