Abstract
Calculation of boiler efficiency is essential if its parameters need to be controlled for either maintaining or
enhancing its efficiency. But determination of boiler efficiency using conventional method is time
consuming and very expensive. Hence, it is not recommended to find boiler efficiency frequently. The work
presented in this paper deals with establishing the statistical model for boiler efficiency using major boiler
losses. Collected data from an eminent industry shows that the loss due to dry flue gas, loss due to
hydrogen content in fuel and loss due to moisture content in fuel are the major losses. The boiler efficiency
depends mainly on these losses. Multiple regression analysis is used for building the model.
