A water-tube boiler is a type of boiler in which water circulates in tubes heated externally by the fire. Water-tube boilers are used for high-pressure boilers. Fuel is burned inside the furnace, creating hot gas which heats up water in the steam-generating tubes. The water-tube boiler was co-invented and co-patented by George Herman Babcock
Read MoreFor a coal fired utility boiler, the temperature of high pressure steam would be about 540 degrees C and T cold, the cooling tower water temperature, would be about 20 degrees C. Calculate the Carnot efficiency of the power plant. Step 1 Convert the high and low temperatures from Celsius to Kelvin: T h o t = 540 o C + 273 = 813 K. T c o l d
