14. The boiler is essentially a closed vessel inside which water is stored. Fuel is burnt in a furnace and hot gasses
are produced. These hot gasses come in contact with water vessel where the heat of these hot gases transfer to
the water and consequently steam is produced in the boiler. Then this steam is piped to the turbine of thermal
power plant. There are many different types of boiler utilized for different purposes like running a production unit,
sanitizing some area, sterilizing equipment, to warm up the surroundings etc.

Rajesh has been given the task of designing a boiler for NTPC. Boiler consist of a cylindrical part in middle and
two hemispherical part at its both end. The cross section of boiler is given below. Length of cylindrical part is the
3 times of radius of hemispherical part.

(i) What is the ratio of volume to the surface area?

(ii) If r = 3 m , what is the volume of boiler?
