•  Double boiler

  A double boiler is a stove top apparatus used to cook delicate sauces such as beurre blanc or to melt chocolate without burning or seizing. It consists of an upper vessel containing the substance to be cooked which is situated above a lower pot of water. When brought to a boil, the steam released in the lower pot provides heat against the bottom of the upper one. The upper vessel must fit over tightly, or else steam may escape and affect the cooking substance.

•  Boiler

  A boiler is a closed vessel in which water or other fluid is heated. The heated or vaporized fluid exits the boiler for use in various processes or heating applications.

•  Water heating

  Water heating is a thermodynamic process using an energy source to heat water above its initial temperature. Typical domestic uses of hot water are for cooking, cleaning, bathing, and space heating. In industry, both hot water and water heated to steam have many uses. Domestically, water is traditionally heated in vessels known as water heaters, kettles, cauldrons, pots, or coppers.

•  Fire-tube boiler

  A fire-tube boiler is a type of boiler in which hot gases from a fire pass through one or more tubes running through a sealed container of water. The heat energy from the gases passes through the sides of the tubes by thermal conduction, heating the water and ultimately creating steam.

•  Water-tube boiler

  A water tube boiler is a type of boiler in which water circulates in tubes heated externally by the fire. Water tube boilers are used for high-pressure boilers. Fuel is burned inside the furnace, creating hot gas which heats water in the steam-generating tubes. In smaller boilers, additional generating tubes are separate in the furnace, while larger utility boilers rely on the water-filled tubes that make up the walls of the furnace to generate steam.

•  Superheater

  A superheater is a device used to convert saturated steam or wet steam into dry steam used for power generation or processes. There are three types of superheaters namely: radiant, convection, and separately fired. A superheater can vary in size from a few tens of feet to several hundred feet (a few meters or some hundred meters). A radiant superheater is placed directly in the combustion chamber. A convection superheater is located in the path of the hot gases.

•  Pot boiler

  A pot boiler is an externally-heated simple enclosure in which water is heated to produce steam. They can also use a heated stone when used in cooking. When the stone gets hot enough, it gets put in the pot to boil the contents. Usually, they are found in archeological sites, near fire or in inner walls where they were reused as building material.

•  Boiler explosion

  Boiler explosions are catastrophic failures of boilers. As seen today, boiler explosions are of two kinds. One kind is over-pressure in the pressure parts of the steam and water sides. The second kind is explosion in the furnace. Boiler explosions of pressure parts are particularly associated with steam locomotives. Locomotive boilers are of a construction with a very small hand-fed furnace, a boiler barrel containing boiling water under pressure, and tubes containing hot gases from the fire.

•  Steam generator (nuclear power)

  Steam generators are heat exchangers used to convert water into steam from heat produced in a nuclear reactor core. They are used in pressurized water reactors between the primary and secondary coolant loops. In commercial power plants steam generators can measure up to 70 feet in height and weigh as much as 800 tons. Each steam generator can contain anywhere from 3,000 to 16,000 tubes, each about three-quarters of an inch in diameter.

•  Boiler feedwater pump

  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 use suction from a condensate return system and can be of the centrifugal pump type or positive displacement type.

•  Money Bin

  The Money Bin is a fictional structure in Disney comic books, first appearing in comic book stories created by Carl Barks. It was later depicted in animated cartoons such as the theatrical short Scrooge McDuck and Money and the television series DuckTales. It is in this building that Scrooge McDuck stores the portions of his money he earned by himself and is the tallest building in the city of Duckburg, Calisota.

•  Sailing at the 1992 Summer Olympics

  At the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona a total number of ten sailing events were contested. The competition was held from July 27 to August 4, 1992, with 441 participants (357 men and 84 women) from 68 countries. The youngest competitor was María Espínola (17 years, 229 days) from Argentina, while the oldest participant was Robin Tattersall (62 years, 7 days) from the British Virgin Islands.
