Q No 1 Distinguish between mounting and

accessories
Ans: Boiler mountings are related to the safety of
the boiler. Boiler accessories are related to the
performance of the boiler. Examples of boiler
mountings include Water level indicator, safety
valve, feed valve, blow-off cock, fusible plug, steam
pressure gauge, etc.

Q No.2 define economizer in boiler.

Ans: A boiler economizer or flue gas heat recovery
unit is a heat exchanger that is installed on the
stack of a boiler. It is designed to recover heat that
would otherwise be wasted. Economizers can be
installed during a new boiler installation or retrofit on
an existing system.
Q No: 3 Define fossil fuels and write its type
Ans: Fossil fuels consist of deposits of once living
organisms. The organic matter takes centuries to
form. Fossil fuels principally consist of carbon and
hydrogen bonds. There are three types of fossil fuels
which can all be used for energy provision; coal, oil
and natural gas.
Q No:4 define steam boiler
Ans: A steam boiler is a container in which water
is heated to produce steam. The steam boiler has
a longer on-off cycle because steam has to be
produced each time there is a call for heat. ... A
steam boiler is a container in which water is heated
to produce steam.

Q No 5 Define conduction method of heat transfer.

Ans: Conduction heat transfer is the transfer of
heat through matter (i.e., solids, liquids, or gases)
without bulk motion of the matter. In another ward,
conduction is the transfer of energy from the more
energetic to less energetic particles of a substance
due to interaction between the particles.
Q No 6 Define the purpose of safety valve.
Ans: n steam systems, safety valves are typically
used for boiler overpressure protection and other
applications such as downstream of pressure
reducing controls. Although their primary role is for
safety, safety valves are also used in process
operations to prevent product damage due to excess
pressure

Q No:7 difference between boiler and furnace

Ans: n steam systems, safety valves are typically
used for boiler overpressure protection and other
applications such as downstream of pressure
reducing controls. Although their primary role is for
safety, safety valves are also used in process
operations to prevent product damage due to excess
pressure

Q No:8 write any two advantages obtain by using an

air preheater
Ans: Benefits of air preheater
The purpose of the air preheater is to recover
the heat from the boiler flue gas which
increases the thermal efficiency of the boiler by
reducing the useful heat lost in the flue gas. ... It
also allows control over the temperature of
gases leaving the stack (to meet emissions
regulations, for example
Q No;9 enlist any five type of fire tube boiler
Ans: he examples of the fire tube boiler are
the simple vertical, Cochran, Lancashire,
Cornish, Locomotive, Scotch marine, and Velcon
boiler.

Q No 10 define work and heat

Heat and work are two different ways of
transferring energy from one system to another.
The the distinction between Heat and Work is
important in the field of thermodynamics. Heat is the
transfer of thermal energy between systems, while
work is the transfer of mechanical energy between
two systems.

Q No 11. define external and internal energy in boiler

In molecules and solids the internal energy is due to
the vibration of atoms with respect to their average
positions. External energy is the kinetic energy of
the movement of the system as a whole.
