#27-Pipe 5-Pipe6-Pipe7

This document contains solutions to three problems from a PIPE/MD problem set. The first problem calculates the net boiler efficiency of a boiler as 49.46%. The second problem determines the mass of gas entering a chimney from a boiler burning 2400kg of coal per hour to be 38,160 kg/hr. The third problem calculates the indicated thermal efficiency of a gasoline engine generating 250kw while consuming 0.018kg/sec of fuel to be 0.347.
