Hi all
Are there is an idea to design (thermal design )the size of an small electric steam boiler if the heat input is about (10 Kw)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
can one use the ASME for (boiler and pressure vessel code ),is also contain a thermal design of boilers?

I believe the ASME B & PV code covers just the design and manufacture of the components (e.g., material selection, strength, testing, etc.)

The thermodynamics of the boiler design is not covered.
 
If I read you right, you are asking if anyone knows how to design a boiler for a steam engine which has 10kW electric heater of some kind.
The short answer is "yes" - designing steam engines is quite a mature field in engineering. There are an infinite number of possible designs.
Is there anything you specifically wanted to know?
