Fire-Tube Boiler Notebook

The boiler model is available at labs/lab_3/modelo_caldera_lab3.ipynb. Run the notebook from its own directory so that it resolves parametros_nominales_caldera.json.

The JSON file contains editable nominal values. Replace them with measured geometry and operating conditions before treating outputs as experimental validation.
