  2. Thermite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermite

    Mixing water with thermite or pouring water onto burning thermite can cause a steam explosion, spraying hot fragments in all directions. [ 60 ] Thermite's main ingredients were also utilized for their individual qualities, specifically reflectivity and heat insulation, in a paint coating or dope for the German zeppelin Hindenburg , possibly ...

  3. Spiral watertube boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_watertube_boiler

    The water level of these boilers was around 3/4 of the height of the tube tiers, [3] so that the upper tubes were filled with steam rather than water. Above the tube banks a single flat spiral tube was used as an economiser or feedwater heater. [2] The furnace used to fire these large boilers was annular, often with four or more separate firedoors.

  4. Water-tube boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-tube_boiler

    The only railway use of water-tube boilers in any numbers was the Brotan boiler, invented by Johann Brotan in Austria in 1902, and found in rare examples throughout Europe, although Hungary was a keen user and had around 1,000 of them. Like the Baldwin, it combined a water-tube firebox with a fire-tube barrel.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-reactive_substances

    The alkaline earth metals (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, and Ra) are the second most reactive metals in the periodic table, and, like the Group 1 metals, have increasing reactivity with increasing numbers of energy levels. Beryllium (Be) is the only alkaline earth metal that does not react with water or steam, even if the metal is heated red hot. [9]

    A boiler is a closed vessel in which fluid (generally water) is heated.The fluid does not necessarily boil.The heated or vaporized fluid exits the boiler for use in various processes or heating applications, [1] [page needed] [2] [page needed] including water heating, central heating, boiler-based power generation, cooking, and sanitation.

  7. Thermal lance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_lance

    A thermal lance, thermic lance, oxygen lance, or burning bar is a tool that heats and melts steel in the presence of pressurized oxygen to create very high temperatures for cutting. It consists of a long steel tube packed with alloy steel rods, which serve as fuel; these are sometimes mixed with aluminum rods to increase the heat output.

    Field-tube A form of water-tube where the water tubes are single-ended, similar to a thimble water tube with an internal tube to encourage circulation. Firebar Replaceable cast-iron bars that form the base of the furnace and support the fire. These wear out frequently, so as designed for easy replacement. See also: Rocking grate. Firebox

  9. Oil burner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_burner

    An oil burner is a part attached to an oil furnace, water heater, or boiler. [1] It provides the ignition of heating oil/biodiesel fuel used to heat either air or water via a heat exchanger . The fuel is atomized into a fine spray usually by forcing it under pressure through a nozzle which gives the resulting flame a specific flow rate, angle ...
