🔍 Key Concepts

• Heat transfer in boiler superheaters (how gas-side fouling vs water/steam-side problems affect temperature). • Effect of reduced steam flow through the superheater on outlet temperature. • Difference between problems that cause lower vs higher superheater outlet temperatures.

💭 Think About

• For each choice, ask yourself: would this condition make steam pick up more heat, less heat, or restrict its flow? How would that change outlet temperature? • Think about what happens to metal and steam temperatures when tubes are dirty on the gas side versus water/steam side. • Consider whether each option would more likely cause high metal temperature, low steam temperature, or both.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options would mainly cause reduced heat transfer from the hot gases to the steam (tending to lower outlet steam temperature). • Identify which option would mainly cause restricted steam flow through the superheater (tending to increase outlet steam temperature). • Double‑check which conditions are commonly associated with overheating and potential tube failure in marine boilers.
