🔍 Key Concepts

• Water-tube boiler circulation and heat transfer in generating tubes • Effect of insulating layers (on gas side or water/steam side) on metal tube temperature • Difference between water level indication and actual cooling of tube metal

💭 Think About

• Which option would cause the metal of the tube to overheat even though water is present and the level in the gage glass appears correct? • Which conditions actually REDUCE corrosion versus which conditions REDUCE cooling of the tube? • Think about which side of the tube (water side vs gas side) each choice mainly affects, and how that would change tube metal temperature.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options would tend to overheat the tube metal rather than protect it or reduce temperature. • Decide which condition acts as an insulator to heat transfer between hot gases and water/steam in the tube. • Verify whether the gage glass showing a proper level guarantees that the tube surface is adequately cooled under that condition.
