A steam boiler may be thought of as a heat exchanger. The combustion gases may be modeled
Question:
A steam boiler may be thought of as a heat exchanger. The combustion gases may be modeled as a stream of air because their thermodynamic properties are close to those of air. Using this model, consider a boiler that is to convert saturated liquid water at 500 psia to a saturated vapor while keeping the water pressure constant. Determine the temperature at which the air (i.e., combustion gases) must enter this unit so that the transfer of energy from the air to the boiling water is done at the minimum loss.
Step by Step Answer:
To determine the temperature at which the air must enter the unit to minimize the loss of energy during the transfer we need to consider the first law of thermodynamics ...View the full answer

In this video, the concept of pressure has been explained. The bottle is filled up with water, remove the pipe, and now you can see the clear flow of water from the holes due to liquid pressure.You can see that the second layer is holding the weight of the first layer and the third layer holding the weight of both upper layers, that’s why liquid flows out wider from the third as compared to the first two.At the first hole, water doesn’t roll along the walls; it flows out at an angle.At the second hole, you’ll see that the water flows out at a wider angle as compared to the first hole.At the third hole, we can see that the flow of water is much wider/greater than the other holes.This proves that the pressure at the bottom of the bottle is much more than the pressure at the top layers.
