(A) Total heat available

= 47725*2272
=108431200 kcal
(B) Heat utilized in production of steam
=664*88800
=58963200 kcal
(C) Heat in blowdown
=242*88800*1/100
=21489600 kcal
(D) Heat in feed water
=(88800+888)*105
=9506928 kcal
Heat transmitted

=(B+C-D)
=70945892 kcal

Heat available

=108431200 kcal

Efficiency

= (70945892/108431200)*100
=65.42%

Heat Losses
Sensible heat losses in flue gases
Q = [(1-w)(1.4m-0.13)+0.5] * t
= 201.135 kcal/kg of fuel
= 47725*201.135
= 9599168 kcal
Loss due to unburnt, radiation, incomplete combustion
=108431200-58963200-9599168
=39868832 kcal
Loss = 39868832*0.922
= 36759063 kcal
