7. A fire tube boiler develops 75,000 kilograms of steam at a pressure of 12,500 kpa and a temperature of 660°C for a period of 8 hours. The feedwater temperature is maintained at 95°C. If the boiler efficiency is 87.5%, find the average amount of coal burned in lb/min if its heating value is 52,337.5 KJ/kg.
