A horizontal exchange of air between updraught and environment takes place through entrainment and detrainment. Detrainment transports saturated updraught air into the environment without changing its mass. However in the presence of cloudy mass of fraction a in the environment the entrained air will be a mixture of saturated air and unsaturated air. 1, record 1, English, - horizontal%20exchange

Steel boilers are fabricated into one assembly of a given size and rating, usually by welding. The heat exchange surface past the firebox usually is an assembly of vertical, horizontal, or slanted tubes.

The firing tubes are copper clad on the water side. The 2 in. OD by number 13 gauge tubes are formed by telescoping a .030 in. hard phosphorized copper tube over a .065 in. seamless steel tube and drawing over a mandrel and through a die for a tight bond. Long tube life is positively assured under the most aggressive conditions. 4, record 2, English, - fire%20tube

Steel boilers are fabricated into one assembly of a given size and rating, usually by welding. The heat exchange surface past the firebox usually is an assembly of vertical, horizontal, or slanted tubes. The tubes may be firetube(flue gas inside, heated fluid outside) or watertube(fluid inside). The tubes may be in one or more passes. As with cast-iron boilers, dry base, wet leg, or wet base design may be used. The majority of small steel heating boilers are of dry base, vertical firetube design. Larger boilers usually have horizontal or slanted tubes; both firetube and watertube designs are used. A popular design for medium and large steel boilers, is the Scotch, or Scotch Marine, which is characterized by having a central fluid-backed cylindrical firebox, surrounded by firetubes in one or more passes, all within the outer shell.... Steel boiler sizes range from approximately 14. 7 kW(150 mBh) to the largest boilers made. 2, record 9, English, - steel%20boiler
