B water is supplied in drum and through down-comers located in atmospheric condition it passes to the water wall and rises to drum in the form of mixture of water and steam
C feed pump is employed to supplement natural circulation in water wall type furnace
D water is converted into steam in one pass without any recirculation
Correct Answer: water is converted into steam in one pass without any recirculation
