    A boiler has four main parts: a burner, combustion chamber, heat exchanger, and plumbing apparatus. The burner initiates combustion, fuel is burned in the combustion chamber, and the heat is transferred via the heat exchanger to water which is then pumped through pipes to radiators to provide heat. A draft fan provides air for combustion, pumps circulate water through the system, and adiabatic and isothermal processes describe the thermodynamics of the diesel cycle used in some boiler systems.

    Boilers

    A boiler is defined as “A closed vessel in which water or other liquid is heated, steam or vapor
    is generated, steam is superheated, or any combination thereof, under pressure or vacuum, for
    use external to itself, by the direct application of energy from the combustion of fuels, from
    electricity or nuclear energy ”.

    Parts of boiler

    A boiler is a self-contained combustion system that heats water. The hot water or steam produced
    by a boiler is then used in heating systems. Although designs vary, a boiler has four main parts:
    the burner, the combustion chamber, the heat exchanger and the pluming apparatus.

    Burner

    The burner initiates the combustion reaction within the boiler. Thermostats send messages to the
    burner electronically when the system needs to produce heat. Fuel is pumped by a filter
    mechanism to the boiler from an outside source -- often an adjacent fuel tank. A nozzle on the
    burner turns this fuel into a fine spray and ignites it, creating the reaction in the combustion
    chamber.

    Combustion Chamber
    The fuel is burned in the boiler's combustion chamber, which is usually made of cast iron.
    Temperatures in the combustion chamber can rise to several hundred degrees, usually in a very
    short time. The heat generated in the combustion chamber is transferred to the system's heat
    exchanger

    Heat Exchanger
    In a hydronic boiler system, water is filtered around the combustion chamber through a series of
    flue passages. The pressurized, boiling water is then pumped through pipes to baseboard heaters
    or radiators, which give off the heat energy produced in the boiler.

    Condenser
    Device for reducing a gas or vapour to a liquid. Condensers are employed in power plants to
    condense exhaust steam from turbines and in refrigeration plants to condense refrigerant
    vapours, such as ammonia and fluorinated hydrocarbons. The petroleum and chemical industries
    employ condensers for the condensation of hydrocarbons and other chemical vapours. In
    distilling operations, the device in which the vapour is transformed to a liquid state is called a
    condenser

    Draft fan:

    As we know, for a Steam Boiler to generate steam, combustion must occur, be it any fuel
    (wood/coal/rice husk/pet coke/LDO/Furnace oil) and for combustion to exist one of its three
    main requirements, is the air. And this requirement is compensated by a Forced Draft Fan

    Pumps:

    A boiler feedwater pump is a specific type of pump used to pump feedwater into a steam boiler.
    The water may be freshly supplied or returning condensate produced as a result of the
    condensation of the steam produced by the boiler. These pumps are normally high pressure units
    that take suction from a condensate return system and can be of the centrifugal pump type or
    positive displacement type.

    PV and TS diagram:
    The air-standard diesel cycle is shown on p-V and T-s diagrams respectively. This is the ideal
    cycle for the diesel engine, which is also called the compression ignition engine.
    This cycle consists of two reversible adiabatic, one reversible isobar and one reversible isochoric
    Process.

    Basic processes in diesel cycle


    1-2; Reversible adiabatic compression
    2-3: Constant pressure heat addition
    3-4: Reversible adiabatic expansion
    4-1: Constant volume heat rejection

    Adiabatic

    An adiabatic process is a thermodynamic process in which there is no heat transfer into or out of
    a system and is generally obtained by surrounding the entire system with a strongly insulating
    material or by carrying out the process so quickly that there is no time for a significant heat
    transfer to take place

    Isothermal
    A process in which the temperature remains constant is called an isothermal process. From the
    starting of the process till the end, the temperature remains constant.
    For the process we have the equation as:
    P V = Constant
