Design, Fabrication and Evaluation of Fire Tube Boiler

Abstract:

The aim of this project is to design and fabricate the fire

tube boiler and evaluate their performance by utilizing
coal as a heat source to generate steam. By keeping 1. Suitable design to achieve higher

made of carbon steels. Carbon steels are also preferred
for manufacturing of boiler heat exchangers as well as
tube sheet. The flue gases are required to have one pass
flow. It can be used for domestic and industrial purposes.
