Title: Heat transfer in steam boiler furnaces

Book ·
OSTI ID:5288259

This volume addresses modern concepts governing heat transfer in furnaces firing pulverized coal, gas, and fuel oil. Solving problems of heat transfer calculation are especially important for assuring operational efficiency and reliability. Filled with practical data that can be put to immediate use in design, this book covers radiative properties of polydispersion, effects of heat transfer on the radiation of gases, ash particles, soot, and coke, and the influence of impurities on heat transfer surfaces. The latest studies on heat transfer in high-power boiler furnaces and flame radiation properties are presented. All important characteristics affecting heat transfer and combustion conditions are provided. This volume serves as both a valuable reference source and a design guide for thermal power engineers and industrial engineers. It is arranged such that each section can be studied independently - an important study and teaching feature.
