Why water tube boiler must use pure water to avoid severe damage to the equipment?
Water tube boilers suffer from impurities in the water quickly building up on the tube walls. These solids create hot spots on the tube walls, causing uneven heating along the surface of the tubes. Left unchecked, this kind of fatigue can lead to pin hole leaks in the tubes, tube ruptures (not major unless its industrial application), and general build up of solids in the tubes impede water flow in the boiler. This is not good as it could potentialy stop the thermicsyphoning effect, thus lowering the effeciency of the boiler. This can be avoided when using distilled water as all solid impurities are removed. If the application for your steam engine isn't to big then its feasible to have a home still to purify and/or desalinate water.

How does the celery absorbs the food coloring?
The xylem tubes, tubes that suck up water and minerals in a plant, in the celery plant suck up the food coloring which to the tubes, is water. The tubes then just spread the water/food coloring to other parts of the celery.
What are the negative consequences of hard water in industry and home?
hard water contains calcium carbonate which deposits in the boiler tubes as hard stone like layer and is a bad conductor of heat ,so a lot of fuel is wasted during the steam generation,which may even lead to bursting of the boiler.
What are the most common boiler problems?
The most common boiler problems often arise because the boiler is not maintained. One is that in hard water areas the element is furred up and so it is not able to heat up the water as it should. Another is that the insulation is shifted and so no longer covers the boiler and keeps the heat in.
Why silica increase in boiler drum inspite of 02ppm silca im boiler make up water?
This is due to steam seperation the silica remains in the drum water.
How do Xylem tubes work?
Xylem tubes are basically dead cells. Transpiration of water out of the stomata of leaves is really how water is drawn up the tubes. The " pull " is exerted from the roots on up by the polar nature of water and its ability to have adhesive effects.
Where are the two networks of tubes in vascular plants located?
Sieve tubes are found in the phloem of Angiospermic plants.
Any plant that soaks up water from the ground directly into its cells?
Any plant that soaks up water from the ground directly into it's cells ?
What happens when you boil heavy water?
the water goes up in vapor leaving behind the solids in the boiler.
Who invented the corner tube boiler?
November 12, 1944, the first basic patent for Corner Tube Boilers (= Eckrohrkessel, Berlin, Germany) was applied for. During this time oil as fuel ran short. All efforts, to save energy and use domestic and alternate resources, were to be made. One came up with an idea, to operate cars and trucks, not on gasoline or diesel fuel, but with steam.Dr. Vorkauf, a specialist for water circulation in boilers, especially in La Mont boilers (forced circulation boilers), got the order to design a small boiler for a steam engine fired with coal or wood. The result was not as expected a forced circulation boiler, but a natural circulation boiler. A forced circulation boiler of this size would have been too costly.Due to his experience with the La Mont boiler Dr. Vorkauf had the idea to obtain a pre-separation of the steam - water mixture in front of the drum. An extremely lively water circulation resulted from unheated downcomers and a suitable arrangement of the mixture tubes. The unheated downcomers were installed in the 4 corners of the boiler, where they not only served the purpose of water circulation, but also as a support frame for the boiler. The boiler with such an arrangement of the downcomers in the corners was called Corner Tube Boiler (Eckrohrkessel, Eckrohr-Boiler).
Which feature of the xylem cell helps it to do its job?
Xylem are just made up from cell walls left from cells, making hollow tubes. The walls of these tubes are hydrophilic, so water attaches readily to them, helping it to climb on its way up the plant.
