Boilers have the capacity to swell and shrink in order to control water loss. This process also prevents the boiler from overloading.

What is the shrinking of a cell due to loss of water?
Osmosis, or diffusion of water across a membrane, is the process that's happening when a cell's cytoplasm shrinks due to water loss. The process by which a plant cell's cytoplasm shrinks due to water loss is called plasmolysis
What is drying shrinkage in concrete?
Loss of water held in gel spores that causes the change in volume.It is a function of the fineness and gel.Cement paste shrinks more than cement mortar and cement mortar shrinks more than concrete.

What are the effects of the uptake and loss of water in animal cells?
In pure water, or a weak salt solution; water moves into the cell. The cell wall then swells and bursts. This is due to the cell taking in too much water, so much so that it bursts. This is known as Lysis. In a medium salt or sugar solution there is no net movement of water. This is because the amount of water going into and out of the cell is equal. In a strong salt or sugar solution the water moves out of the cell. This mean the cell shrinks and shrivels and it has lost too much water so has shrivelled. This is known as crenation.
Why amoeba in a hypotonic solution shrinks?
A hypertonic environment for a cell is created when the solution outside of the cell is hypertonic in comparison to the cytoplasm of the cell. The amoeba has more dissolved solute than the cytoplasm of the cell. In this situation, water is in higher concentration inside the cell and will move, by osmosis, to the outside in an attempt to equalize the concentrations. Water leaving the cell will cause shrinkage of the cell and a loss of mass. Thus, it shrinks not bursts.
