What does the steamboat need to work?
A steamboat requires a steam engine, which operates by heating water in a boiler to create steam. This steam then powers pistons or turbines that drive the boat's propellers or wheels. Additionally, a fuel source—such as wood, coal, or oil—is needed to generate the heat for the boiler. Finally, a water source is essential for producing the steam.
What HP boiler do you need to evaporate 4675 pounds of water?
hp Boiler = (4675 pound of water in an hour / 34.5 ) = (4675 pounds in an hour of steam at 212 oF / 34.5)
How do you calculate Specific fuel Consumption boiler?
if a gas boiler is capacity of 20 ton & steam pressure is 13 bar,how much fuel consume it??if other requirments need assume please.
Why isn't there a car with steam engine?
In the early days of Cars, there were several popular steam cars, such as the Stanley Steamer which could go at a fair speed. The problem is-You need a boiler to heat the water to make the steam. You need a fuel (coal, wood, oil) to heat the boiler. So you need a fuel tank a water tank and a furnace. Very inefficient, it would require a lot of space and weight to get everything in. And of course if you needed your car say first thing in the morning, you would have to have the furnace on all night, burning fuel as you simply cannot light the boiler at 9 am and take off. You need to wait a few hours to get steam up. A modern petrol or diesel engine is very efficient these days.. will start instantly.. and is fairly economical. There is also the safety aspect of a steam car, with a boiler under high pressure.. in the early days several boilers exploded scalding everybody around.. so you see why steam cars are not an option. +++ A couple of points there need clarifying. The steam-car such as the Stanley ran on paraffin (kerosene) not solid fuels; in a specially-designed, very efficient boiler; and it did not need hours to raise steam even from cold. I am not sure what the Stanley's typical steam-raising time is, but it is certainly not all night! However, it is true that the "instant" availability of the internal-combustion engine made it displace the steam-car. Boiler explosions for the most part were due to neglect of corrosion, or corrosion not seen; but modern boilers and their inspection routines ensure they are very safe.
What is entrainment in the boiler?
There are basically two types of boilers one is the conventional boilers with a drum or shell in which water (obviously well treated water) is heated and as it is heated it produce stem. The steam occupy the top space and the bottom part is filled with water hot and pressurised. When the process requirements whether it is for steam turbine or for chemical process we need dry steam. If the water level is too high and or if the boiling velocity is too high the water droplets instead of leaving the boiler drum as steam some water droplets leave with the steam. This is no good for the process as we need steam but we are getting water. This water entering the system is called entrainment. If the boiler is highly rated i.e. we are heating too much and heating very hard then the top of the water face on the drum through which the steam leaves takes water drops as well. This is called entrainment. Regards Stephen Pathmarajah
What heating boiler system does empire state building has?
The Empire State building gets it steam from the ConEdison steam company that serves much of New York City. The steam is piped all accross the city to buildings that either don't have room or are much to big for their own boilers. If the Empire State building had its own boiler, there would need to be a huge smokestack at the top!
Is it a better deal to lease or buy a car?
Usually buying a car outright is a better deal if you can pay upfront without a loan. If you do need a loan, then depending on the deal you get for the loan vs. the lease it can be a better deal to lease, but not usually.

How do you get a steam engine in blockheads?
To get a steam engine in Blockheads, you first need to craft a flywheel using a workbench, which requires some wood and metal. Once you have the flywheel, gather the necessary materials for the steam engine, including a boiler, which can be crafted at the electric or steam workbench. After crafting both components, combine them to create your steam engine. Finally, place the steam engine in your world to start using it for powering machines and vehicles.
How often does a pop test on a steam boiler need to be done?
A pop test on a steam boiler should typically be conducted at least once a year, or more frequently if the boiler is in heavy use or has a history of issues. This test ensures that the safety valve operates correctly and prevents overpressure situations. It's essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and local regulations, as requirements may vary. Regular maintenance checks can also help determine the appropriate frequency for testing.
What do you need to go to college?
To go to college, you need money. The better your grades were in highschool,the better deal a college will offer you.
How do you make your own steam engine?
I would recommend against this as steam explosions are very destructive and a steam scald from a pipe leak can easily be fatal.However, if you insist you will first need access to a machine shop to fabricate the parts... the trickiest to make correctly and safely are the boiler and the cylinders.Don't forget properly set and maintained safety valves!
