This analysis reveals the efficiency of different fuels in a steam generation unit, indicating optimal fuel selection for better energy output.

The highest efficiency of Boiler Plant was achieved with L.S.H.S oil at 88.20%, while Bituminous coal had the lowest at 77.30%.
Efficiency calculations showed varying performance among fuels, including Anthracite and Bagasse blends for steam generation.
Methodology included both Direct and Indirect methods based on the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics to assess boiler performance.
Sankey diagrams illustrated energy flow and losses in the system, highlighting economic fuel for optimal power generation.
