Steam Production When heat is added to water, its temperature rises at a rate of 0.56 C (1 F) for each heat input of 2.095 kJ/kg (1 Btu/lb) If we take water at 0 C (32 F) and we add 419 kJ/kg (180 Btu/lb) then we will increase the temperature of the water by 100 C

A steam boiler or steam generator is a device used to create steam by applying heat energy to water. Although the definitions are somewhat flexible, it can be said that older steam generators were commonly termed boilers and worked at low to medium pressure (7–2,000 kPa or 1–290 psi) but, at pressures above this, it is more usual to speak of a steam generator.
