A computer simulation of the heat transfer mechanism was performed for the slurry fired heater in the SRC-I Demonstration Plant. The operating conditions were based on the fired heater design, and the data on pressure drop, slug characteristics, and heat transfer were obtained from the cold-flow modelling experiments at Creare, Inc. The computer program solves the partial differential equation describing heat transfer in the fired heater pipe. 7 references, 6 figures, 5 tables.
