INVESTIGATIONS ON BOILER TUBES WITH DIFFERENT MATERIALS: A SIMULATION APPROACH

Abstract

The present research work is based on the evaluation of thermal properties for a boiler tube. For this purpose, using simulation approach, four different materials, aluminum, copper, steel and nickel were used and three properties, namely, pressure, temperature and inner wall temperature, were investigated, and rankings of different materials were declared. Keywords: Boilers, tubes, simulation, materials.
