Appearance
Boilers are large cylindrical water tanks found on steam-powered vehicles . They have a cluster of heating tubes going through, connecting a firebox at the back with a smokebox at the front of the vehicle. Hot air and smoke from the firebox go through these tubes, heating up the water inside the boiler, eventually causing it to evaporate. Since steam is compressible, so much of it can be generated in the limited volume of the boiler, that it becomes highly pressurized.
