pressure and temperature of boiler and feed water, mass flow rate of fuel and steam. all these can be altered. but the pressure and temperature are used to calculate the enthalpy which appears in the equation i wrote above
For my B.Eng project, I'm optimizing the thermal efficiency of a boiler using genetic algorithm in MATLAB. I'm finding it very tough to write my fitness function, constraint equations and upload my initial population which is a set of data from my case study plant.
for boiler thermal...
