2. Boiler (power generation) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_(power_generation)

   A superheated boiler on a steam locomotive. L.D. Porta gives the following equation determining the efficiency of a steam locomotive, applicable to steam engines of all kinds: power (kW) = steam Production (kg h −1)/Specific steam consumption (kg/kW h). A greater quantity of steam can be generated from a given quantity of water by ...

3. Furnace (central heating) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furnace_(central_heating)

   The furnace transfers heat to the living space of the building through an intermediary distribution system. If the distribution is through hot water (or other fluid) or through steam, then the furnace is more commonly called a boiler. One advantage of a boiler is that the furnace can provide hot water for bathing and washing dishes, rather than ...

4. Boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler

   In a fossil fuel power plant using a steam cycle for power generation, the primary heat source will be combustion of coal, oil, or natural gas.In some cases byproduct fuel such as the carbon monoxide rich offgasses of a coke battery can be burned to heat a boiler; biofuels such as bagasse, where economically available, can also be used.

5. Heat of combustion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_combustion

   In all, the higher heating value of hydrogen is 18.2% above its lower heating value (142 MJ/kg vs. 120 MJ/kg). For hydrocarbons, the difference depends on the hydrogen content of the fuel. For gasoline and diesel the higher heating value exceeds the lower heating value by about 10% and 7%, respectively, and for natural gas about 11%.

6. Electric steam boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_steam_boiler

   Water from the system or holding tank is then run over or near this hot element in a pipe or tank, heating the water to a suitable temperature, then making the water hot enough to boil and become saturated steam, [1] at which point the saturated steam is transported to wherever it is needed via the steam pipes that exit the body of the electric ...

7. Heat recovery steam generator - Wikipedia

   They can use a gas turbine to produce high-reliability electricity for campus use. The HRSG can recover the heat from the gas turbine to produce steam/hot water for district heating or cooling. [1] Large ocean vessels (e.g., Emma Maersk) make use of heat recovery so that their oil-fired boilers can be shut down while underway. [1]
