Thermal power plants (TPPs) are critical to supplying energy to society, and ensuring their
safe and efficient operation is a top priority. To minimize maintenance shutdowns and costs …

This paper presents a novel air-fuel heat exchanger used for the cooled cooling air
technology in aero-engines. The helical tube heat exchanger weighing 1.1 kg with an area …

Failure analysis of the platen superheater tube, water wall tube, and sealpot plate were
investigated in the present study. To examine the causes of failure, various techniques …

The liberalization of the European energy markets combined with the rapid spread of
unpredictable renewable energy sources have stressed the need of improving the traditional …

A computational fluid dynamics model was established based on a 660 MW brown coal
boiler, to study the effects of primary air ratio (PAR) on boiler performance. To improve …

Coal-fired boiler tubes are generally exposed to high internal pressure and high
temperature of steam and flue gas. The common cause of any metallurgical failure of a …

Superheater model was used to analyzing the impact of ash deposits on the outer tube
surfaces and scales formed on the inner tube surfaces on the heat flow rate transferred from …

This research aims to assess the failure analysis of a boiler tube of a steam generation
system at a petrochemical plant. To achieve this goal, firstly visual observation and thickness …

In view of the differences in the applicability and prediction ability of different creep rupture
life prediction models, we propose a creep rupture life prediction method in this paper …

The burst of an Incoloy 800HT superheater tube, operating at 160–690° C steam was
investigated using metallographic inspection and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) …
