🔍 Key Concepts

• How steam pressure in a boiler is related to the rate of heat input versus the rate of steam demand • What each condition (superheater temperature change, feedwater temperature, drum level, contamination) usually affects first: pressure, temperature, or capacity • Normal effects of high feedwater temperature and low drum level on boiler operation

💭 Think About

• Which of these conditions would most directly reduce the amount of heat being transferred to generate steam? • Does higher feedwater temperature usually make it easier or harder for the boiler to maintain steam pressure? Why? • Would a low water level in the drum normally cause high pressure, low pressure, or a different type of problem that engineers are very concerned about?

✅ Before You Answer

• For each choice, connect it specifically to heat transfer to the water/steam and ask: does this tend to increase or decrease steam pressure? • Consider which options are more likely to cause damage or safety concerns rather than just a simple reduction in pressure. • Verify which condition would most naturally lead to a gradual drop in steam pressure without immediately triggering an emergency shutdown.
