Agree @Adjumani.

Boiler efficiency=ms(hs-hw)/mfxcv.
205(145)/23 x 2050,
= 0.63x100,
= 63%.

mf- mass of fuel.
cv- calorific value.
ms-mass of steam.
hs-enthalpy of steam > net enthalpy.
hw-enthalpy of feedwater.

Boiler efficiency = ms (h - hfi )/mf X C,
= 205 (145)/23 X 2050,
= 0.63,
= 63%.

Output/Input in terms of heat.

Eff: Net heat produced/ heat provided by coal.

: 205 X 145 / 2050 X 23.

: 63.00%
