What is water wall in boiler?

A waterwall in a boiler is any furnace wall that is comprised of refractory and tubes in a water-tube boiler. The tubes are evenly spaced and generally connect to headers which in turn are connected back to the main generating bank of the boiler. They serve a two fold purpose here in that they capture heat that would otherwise escape to the atmosphere and help heat the water in the boiler. And they also help keep the refractory cool (relatively speaking) This prevents spalling of the refractory.


What type of combustion engine would you classify steam turbines used in power plants?

Steam turbines are external combustion engines.


How is a boiling water reactor's superheater 'heated'?

They don't. BWR's run wet saturated steam. There is no superheating in a BWR, because there is no way steam would come in contact with a heat source. The plant must be built to be compatible with wet steam that could condense.


Why the steam inlet at the top and coolant circulation from bottom of the reactor why we can't use the glass lined reactors for alkali reactions?

In the PWR the top houses the steam outlet, not inlet, and coolant flow is applied to the pressure vessel inlet connections. A glass lined vessel would simply not be durable enough for a 40 or hopefully 60 year life. If it started cracking or peeling off, how would it be repaired?


What is the inlet pressure of a condensate tank?

It can be at any pressure less than the main steam pressure. I've operated steam systems with condensate tanks at widely varying pressures. The pressure a condensate tank, (which condenses some steam, but typically takes returns from steam traps) is wholly dependent on the system is installed in. Some heating system condensate tanks are designed to handle no more than 30 psig (minimum design requirement) yet take condensate at 1 or 2 psi from the steam traps. Other high pressure production lines operating at 50 - 100 psig could discharge to a tank at 50 - 100 psi, though the actual pressure would be reduced by the length of pipe transferring it to the tank. And the highest pressure I've operated a condensate system at was 600 psig, the steam system drew the steam for process from an extraction stage on the turbine at nominally 600 psi, though at low loads it was typically a much lower pressure.

What would you do if you discovered a bag in a steam boiler?

I would open it.


What the inside of steam boiler?

"What the inside of steam boiler?" Would you like to know: with no water and steam, construction, under steam conditions, high loads, high TDS, Low pressure.


How much energy is used per kilogram of steam?

That would depend on if the steam is superheated dry steam or not and if superheated dry steam its temperature. It should be possible to google "boiler equations" or "boiler design" to get details.


Boiler steam pressure?

Boiler steam pressure refers to the force exerted by steam within a boiler, measured in units like PSI or bar. This pressure level is essential for efficient energy transfer and controls the temperature and flow of steam in heating systems, turbines, and other applications.


Which is the main thing in steam engine?

If by 'main' you mean largest then that would be the boiler.


Why steem do not send to the boiler insuded of condenser?

In a typical steam system, steam is directed to the condenser instead of the boiler to remove heat and condense it back into water for reuse. Sending steam to the boiler would be inefficient, as it would require additional energy to convert the water back into steam again. The condenser allows for heat recovery and improves the overall efficiency of the system by recycling the condensate. This process also helps maintain optimal operating conditions and reduces water consumption.


What actions would be required if the safety valve was popping and the steam pressure indicated 30 psi on the boiler?

If the pressure in a steam boiler 3.6 bar what is the temperature of the steam?

At 3.6 Bar (52.2 psi) Saturated Steam Temperature would be 148.8 Deg. C (299.9 Deg. F)


Radiators are cold on second floor source of heat is a oil fired boiler?

The fuel does not matter, it would be more relevant to post if you are hot water or steam, that is where your problem lies. If steam try raising the boiler cutout pressure a little bit and if hot water look at the boiler pressure, does the pump work, is the coupling broken and do you have air in the system that needs to be bled?


Why would you not heat the steam coming out of turbine and feedback to turbine?

Steam is redirected back into the boiler from the high-pressure turbine for reheating, but the steam from the low-pressure turbine enters into a condenser to become water again.


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!


How do you calculate the evaporation rate in a closed system - especially in a boiler?

There are many factors. First of all, there is the temperature of the water. Next, the is the volume of water. Next there is the amount of pressure gradually built up in the boiler. Next you have the amount and speed at which heat is transferred to the water.
