Understanding Boiler Troubles and Solutions by Abinav Narayanan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Here are the answers to the Anna University questions on boiler troubles: 1. Water is softened before using in boilers to remove hardness causing salts like calcium and magnesium which cause scale formation, reducing heat transfer efficiency and corrosion. 2. Scale is a hard deposit on boiler surfaces while sludge is a soft, slimy deposit at the bottom of boilers. Both are formed due to precipitation of dissolved salts in hard water during boiling. 3. Scale formation leads to reduction in heat transfer
