Work Output
(Electricity)
Energy input is fuel fed into boiler then combust and release
energy to boil water to from liquid phase to vapor phase
(typically refer to super heated steam)
Example: boiler consume 15 T/H of wood chip to generate
steam. It is equivalent to
Work Output is electricity generated from steam turbine
generator
Example: from 15 T/H of woodchip, steam turbine generator
produces electricity 9900 kW
