Pressure & Temperature :) Apex
The atmospheric pressure can affect the temperature at which water boils. Higher atmospheric pressure increases the boiling point of water, while lower atmospheric pressure decreases it. Additionally, impurities in the water can also raise the boiling point.
To calculate the evaporation rate in a closed system like a boiler, you would typically monitor the mass flow rate of the water entering the boiler and the mass flow rate of the steam leaving the boiler. The difference between the two rates represents the evaporation rate. Additionally, factors such as the heat input to the boiler and the steam quality can also affect the evaporation rate.
A boiler works by heating water in an enclosed space. The expansion of water molecules as it transforms from a liquid state into a gaseous one causes the boiler to generate a vast amount of pressure. This is generally the science behind a back boiler.
To raise the pressure in a baseboard heating system, you typically need to bleed the air out of the system. This involves opening the air release valve on the radiator and allowing any air trapped in the system to escape. Once the air is fully released, the pressure should increase. Make sure to monitor the pressure gauge and adjust as necessary.
BOILER EXPLOSION- Caused by a sudden drop in pressure (failure on the steam side) without acorresponding drop in temperature.
Temperature, pressure, and common ion effect
The feed check valve of a boiler is on the line coming out of the boiler it is usually to prevent the water from going back in to the boiler its coming out of so it would build up excessive amounts of pressure which will cause the t&p valve to blow temperature and pressure
the safety valve is mounted on the top of drum because, if the water level in boiler decreases a certain value, the temperature gets increased in water drum because of lack of water. So, increase in temperature result in high pressure in steam drum, as the safety valve is designed to withstand a certain pressure, after a cetain pressure, the safety valve is removed by high pressure of steam. this is why the safety valve is mounted on top of boiler drum. +++ Shall we sort out that lot? That answer is wrong. Its only link with water-level is that the valve has to be above the water anyway. If the boiler runs dry the safety-valve will not protect it. The safety-valve is there to prevent the steam pressure rising to a potentially a dangerous level. It is set to open at the boiler's designed working pressure.
As depth increases, pressure also increases due to the weight of the water column above. Temperature affects pressure by influencing the density of a fluid; warm water is less dense and exerts less pressure than cold water at the same depth.

There is a direct relationship between the temperature at which water boils and the air pressure on it. Higher pressure, higher boiling point. Lower pressure, lower boiling point.
Benson Boiler is a water tube high pressure boiler having forced circulation. It works on the principle that if the boiler pressure is raised to critical pressure (225 kg/cm^2) then there is no formation of steam bubbles Because the steam and water at this pressure will have the same Density. To achieve this water is fed to the boiler at critical pressure . At this pressure water will be directly converted to superheated steam as the latent heat at critical pressure is zero. Overall efficiency of plant is decreased as a lot of energy is consumed by feed water. Operating the boiler at a slightly lower pressure than the critical pressure efficiency can be increased. Thermal efficiency upto 90% can be achieved.

the apparatus ( Marcet Boiler ) consist a cylinder surrounded with isolated substance in it electrically heated boiler which is used to heat up water and to measure the both of the temperature and pressure, & it contains thermometer & barometer & safety valve .
The Marcet Boiler is used to investigate the relationship between the pressure and temperature of saturated steam in equilibrium with water at all pressure levels between the atmospheric pressure and 1100 kPa.
