Types of Boilers: Fire and Water Tube

The document discusses different types of boilers. There are two main types: fire tube boilers and water tube boilers. In a fire tube boiler, hot gases from a fire pass through tubes that are submerged in water, heating the water. In a water tube boiler, water circulates through tubes that are externally heated by fire. Boilers are used in applications like steam engines, heating, power plants, and marine vessels. The document also provides instructions for an experiment to study boiler functioning by measuring pressure and temperature values.

“Boiler”

Subject: To study the functioning of Boiler.


Boiler:
Boiler is a closed vessel in which a fluid (usually water) is
heated and converted to steam.
There are two types of boilers.
1. Fire tube boiler.
2. Water tube boiler.

Fire Tube Boiler:


A fire-tube boiler is a type of boiler in
which hot gases from a fire pass through
one or more tubes running through a sealed
container of water.
The heat energy from the gases passes through the sides of
the tubes by thermal conduction, heating the water and
ultimately creating steam.

Water Tube Boiler:


A water tube boiler is a type of boiler in
which water circulates in tubes heated
externally by the fire.
Water tube boilers are used for high-
pressure boilers. Fuel is burned inside
the furnace, creating hot gas which heats water
in the steam-generating tubes. In smaller
boilers, additional generating tubes are
separate in the furnace, while larger utility
boilers rely on the water-filled tubes that make up the walls of the
furnace to generate steam.
Applications:
➢ Steam engine.
➢ Heating industry.
➢ Power plants.

➢ Marines.

Procedure:
➢ First start the experiment and find the atm pressure.
➢ Find the gauge pressure by the help of instrument and enter
in Pg colum.
➢ Add gauge pressure in atm pressure which is equall to
absolute pressure Pobs.
➢ Find the temperature in Kelvin scale.
➢ Find the ratio between temperature and absolute pressure.
➢ And draw the graph between temperature and Pobs.
