Mechanical Engineering :: Steam Boilers and Engines
-
In order to compare the capacity of boilers, the feed water temperature and working pressure are taken as

Clearance ratio is the ratio of
-
A condenser maintains a low pressure (below atmospheric) so as to obtain the maximum possible energy from steam and thus to secure a high efficiency.
-
The amount of water evaporated from and at 100° C into dry and saturated steam is called evaporative capacity of a boiler.
-
The difference between the atmospheric pressure and the absolute pressure is known as vacuum in a condenser.
