Two boilers are operating steadily from a bunker fuel source with rating of 30°API. The first boiler produces 1500 kg/hr of steam at 1.25 factor of evaporation with an efficiency of 65% and another boiler is 70% efficient with steam produced at 1600 kg/hr and fuel consumption 1.3 times of the first boiler. If the bunker fuel has a heating value of 10,826 kCal/kg and the amount of time to completely consume the fuel supply is 260 hours, what is the total amount of supply in gallons? What is the factor of evaporation of the second boiler? (50pts)
