Willians line follows the law (where b = A constant representing the shape of the Willians line, a = Another constant i.e. no load consumption per hour, I.P. = Indicated power, and m = Steam consumption per hour)
I.P. = a × m + b
m = a + b × I.P.
I.P. = b × m + a
m = (b/I.P.) - a
Correct Answer :
B. m = a + b × I.P.
