The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Flue gases in a boiler pass through heat recovery devices before leaving chimney.

Step 1: Starting point.

Gases are generated in: \[ \text{Boiler furnace (A)} \]

Step 2: Pass through superheater.


• Converts saturated steam into superheated steam \[ \text{Superheater (C)} \]

Step 3: Pass through economizer.


• Heats feed water using waste heat \[ \text{Economizer (B)} \]

Step 4: Pass through air preheater.


• Heats incoming air \[ \text{Air preheater (D)} \]

Step 5: Exit via chimney.

\[ \text{Chimney (E)} \]

Step 6: Final sequence.

\[ A \rightarrow C \rightarrow B \rightarrow D \rightarrow E \] Final Answer: \[ \boxed{A, C, B, D, E} \]
