Abstract – Energy means ability to exert effort in sector is one of the major demands now days for the development country. A steam generation unit like a Boiler is a important device or main component of the various industries as well as power generation plant company because the hot gas produce by the water like a steam is the main fluid for the working device power plant company or other processes. For that steam generation device like a Boiler is most costly and main useful equipment. Various types of fuels used in steam generation device to increases its capacity and found them which is more economical for produced energy and we can find out maximum heat to convert in suitable work. Here finding the efficiency of Boiler with different fuels by Direct and Indirect Method and analysis is done on basis of 1st and 2nd law. After completing the whole 1st law and 2nd law analysis of Boiler plant then compare which is best and economic fuel for use power generation. The Sankey diagrams are presented to depict the pictorial representation of Energy flow in the system and the losses in the various components during normal operating condition have been identified.
The performance analysis shows that the 1st law efficiency of Boiler Plant with different fuels like Bituminous (Indian coal), Anthracite (imported coal), (60% Ant + 40% Bit) coal, (20% Bagasse + 80 % Ant), and L.S.H.S oil are 77.30.54%, 83.03%, 80.60%, 76.44 % and 88.20% respectively.
