Heat flux is the primary performance paramater in boiler performance. Heat flux can be affected by many factors espacially by boiler tube fouling ( or exchange surfaces) that will considerably reduce heat exchange.

What is critical heat flux and what is its physical significance?

Critical heat flux is the maximum heat transfer rate that can be achieved in a boiling system before there is a significant increase in the wall temperature. It represents a limit beyond which the system may experience burnout or failure due to excessive heat. Understanding critical heat flux is important in designing efficient cooling systems and preventing overheating in various industrial processes.


What is the heat transferred from the flames to a boiler?

The heat transferred from flames to a boiler depends on several factors such as the temperature of the flames, the surface area of the boiler, and the efficiency of heat transfer. In general, the heat transfer occurs through convection and radiation, with the flames heating the boiler's surface which then heats the water inside.


What is the direction of heat flux on isothermal surface?

Direction of heat flux on an isothermal surface is always normal to the surface.


What percent of tubes in a water tube boiler can be plugged?

Typically, a maximum of 5-10% of tubes in a water tube boiler can be plugged without significantly affecting its efficiency and performance. Any more than this could lead to reduced heat transfer and potential overheating issues in the boiler.

What is the heat flux?

The term flux, is used to indicate the amount of something crossing a unit area per second. In the case of heat flux, it would be the number of calories or BTU crossing a square meter or foot per second.


Why economiser is used in boiler?

An economizer is used to heat boiler feedwater up closer to the temperature of the boiler water, using heat from the boiler exhaust gases, heat that would otherwise be wasted. The main reason is to improve the efficiency of the boiler. For every 44 degree F drop in exhaust gas temp. there is an 11 F rise in feedwater temperature and a 1% gain in boiler efficiency.


What does a boiler look like?

The boiler itself consists of two principal parts: the furnace, which provides heat, usually by burning fuel, and the boiler proper, in which water is converted to steam by the heat piped in from the furnace.
