Hello,
can you recommend me useful links about informations on how to
calculate heat of coal fired boiler. Boiler is with natural
circulation with drum. It has 6 coal mills. I wonder if possible to
calculate input heat to a boiler, and what variables I need?
Thank you

In the absence of a better reply...
The energy density of coal is between 13 and 30 MJ per kg...

So multiply by the number of kg per second burnt to get the input power in
watts.
This calculation is very crude because it doesn't tak into account how
efficiently the coal is burnt.
