I got this for Thermal Efficiency- hp x btu's per hr per hp _______________________ x100 heat input in btu/hr from your figures I got 1620 lbs/coal/hr 25,000,000. btu's per ton in coal Btu's hr/hp=2545 (2545 btu = 1 hp/hr
so, 2000 x 2545= 5,090,000 1620 x 12,500 btu's per pound of coal=20,250,000 5090000 ------- 20250000 =0.251358 x 100 =25.1358 or 25.1% therm eff. I hope this is correct The pride of Purdue is riding on it ,although school was a long time ago!!LOL Good Luck ,Hoosierbuddy
