I think that's called "Thermodynamics".
Perhaps a little more detail would help.
Is this for heating buildings or running a power plant or building chemical plants or what?

Hi jsstephen

If we said as heating building
What code refer to ?

How can size it for working pressure heat rated etc

John,

A lot more details are needed here. A boiler isn't just something you buy off the shelf for your plant.

You need to know what pressure(s) steam is needed, total steam demand (heat exchangers, unit heaters, etc), among a thousand other things.

Yes rvemeche
For this I am asking is there textbook or practical reference is available discuss about this issue I will appreciate

John,

You're getting out of your knowledge envelope here. Get a boiler wrong and it costs a lot of money or blows up. This needs proper teaching and experience. I appreciate you're trying to learn but this isn't the right way.

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

JohnGladstone,

Perhaps we can help you when you tell us which boiler books have you purchased and read thus far ?

Specifically, why are you asking questions about boilers ?

Have you made any effort at all to educate yourself and answer you own questions ?

Is this all idle speculation, or do you have an actual project for which you must specify a boiler system ?

In order for us to invest our time and knowledge, you must explain your status and intentions...
