Outline Of Boiler Design Why we need to design?

     •	Safety
     •	Mathematical Modeling can be done.
     •	Predicting response of system to input and surrounding.
     •	Save cost of trial and error.

History:

     •	Development of Boilers: from small unreliable boilers to today’s mega boilers.
     •	The important milestones in designing and how they improved safety and efficiency of boilers.

Pre-requisites in a Boiler Design:

     •	Input needed to design a boiler
     •	Output desired
     •	Safety considerations
     •	Constraints (mechanically)
     •	Cost Restrictions

General Design Procedure of Boiler

     •	Type of Boiler to be designed (fire tube, water tube etc) according to available resources and desired output.
     •	Calculations associated with boiler design.
     •	Software available to calculate the necessary parameters.
     •	AutoCAD/Pro-V or other designing software for Boilers.
     •	Types of Grates and Furnaces used according to fuel used and cost (IMP: mention biomass as fuel and also requirements of boiler when 
       fuel is biomass)                       

Manufacturing Techniques:

     •	Materials used according to safety and cost constrains
     •	Types of Joining (welding, riveting etc) used for different applications (high pressure areas, areas exposed to steam etc)
     •	Insulation used for piping and storage drum.
