ASME Project
American Society of Mechanical Engineering, UET Lahore chapter this year, like every year, organised a
team for the Thermodynamic Section and assigned a project, Design Analysis and Fabricate of Water Tube
Boiler. The team comprises of 18 members working as a unit to put forth their immense effort in reaching
a new milestone. The Water Tube Boiler that is being worked on is to be forwarded in various project
exhibitions to demonstrate the calliper of ASME UET Lahore chapter.
Pipes- In a water tube boiler, water runs through pipes. The pipes are heated by surrounding fire or hot
gases, and the more the water is heated, the higher it goes until it becomes steam. The pipes then allow the
steam to escape into the upper drum.
Upper Drum- The upper drum is where the steam goes once it's travelled the length of the pipes. The
steam collects in the upper drum, away from the heated pipe, and begins to condense back into water. As
the steam once more becomes liquid it drips down from the upper drum and is collected in a lower drum,
or the mud drum.
Lower Drum- The lower drum is set at the bottom of the water tube boiler beneath the upper drum. The
condensed steam collects here and from the mud drum it goes back into the pipes. The more pressure from
built-up water, the more water that will be turned back into steam and passed through the pipes yet again.
Re-heater- The function of Re-heater is to reheat the steam coming out from high pressure turbine. The Reheater is composed of two sections.
Burners- As evident from the name, these are used for burning pulverized coal or oil.

CONCLUSION
It was a very credible Industrial tour. All the students enjoyed this and from learning point of view it was
too much productive for all juniors and seniors members. The students of different departments also got
an opportunity to see each other. All appreciated the management and expected more such tours to
different multinational industries all over the Pakistan.
