No.
Hot Water-
Your comment “...boiler water flashing to steam within the cylinders...” sounds just like what happens in the boiler after a crown sheet failure. Could you please explain why I am wrong?
Thanks,
Chris
What occurs within the cylinders is a controlled event, i.e. by the Engineer in how little boiler water is introduced into the cylinders. What occurs when a crown sheet ruptures is a totally uncontrolled & catastrophic event. Thus they are completely different.
