The combined-cycle gas and steam turbine power plant presents three main pieces of
equipment: gas turbines, steam turbines and heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). In …

Continuous generation of electricity of a power plant depends on the higher availability of its
components/equipments. Higher availability of the components/equipments is inherently …

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 …

This study presents an investigation into the failure of a superheater tube. To pinpoint the
primary cause of failure, a range of destructive and non-destructive analyses were …

In recent years, the availability of power plants has become increasingly important issue in
most developed and developing countries. This paper aims to propose a methodology …

This paper presents the results of an investigation into the failure of steam boiler tubes in a
liquefied gas treatment plant. The failure appeared in the form of a window rupture in the …

Welding is the primary joining-process, produced the heat affected zone which is mostly
damaged severely because of prolonged period particularly in corrosive environment. Most …

Liquid level in a pressure vessel can be monitored through the sight ports. Since a sight port
is the assembly of various components (eg, body frame, gasket, sight glass, cover frame …

ABSTRACT A network approach was used to develop a thermofluid process model of a
cross-flow primary superheater heat exchanger with complex flow arrangement in the …

The long term operation and planning of power plant depend upon an effective availability
analysis and assessment of various systems in the plant concerned. The plant is expected to …
