Abstract During the sizing of the radiant zone in boilers and furnaces, the most often used method is the Lobo-Evans model. This method is based on the perfect mixing model for flue gas flow inside the fire box, which represents a conservative or pessimistic flow pattern. This paper presents a different, optimistic model which is based on the plug flow for flue gas flow which results in the largest possible heat duty. The proposed model is given in two distinct forms – integral and numerical. As shown in the paper, the integral model results in small deviations with respect to the numerical model and, as such, is well suited for the engineering practice. Paper also presents an engineering approach to the calculation of the conductive heat transfer through the membrane wall, which is shown to be sufficiently accurate and simple for engineering calculations.

Abstract In the aluminum production industry, metal furnaces are operated by diffusion flame over the metal surface to maintain the aluminum metal at the set point temperature for alloying and casting. Heat is transferred from the flame and its exhaust gases to the metal surface via radiation and convection. The exhaust gases leaves through the furnace’s chimney carrying a significant amount of waste heat to the atmosphere. Furnace efficiency could be improved by enhancing the heat transfer inside the furnace. In this study, a validated full-scale 3-D CFD model of a natural gas fired aluminum furnace is developed to investigate the effect of flue gas ventilation configurations and burner operating conditions on the heat transfer inside the furnace. Onsite measurements are carried out for the fuel and airflow rates as well as flue gas temperature. Four flue ventilation configurations are considered with eight furnace’s operation modes. The flue-gas’s waste-heat varies from 49–58%, with the highest value occurring at the high-fire operating mode. This indicates a significant room for improvement in the furnace performance. Results suggest that a symmetrical positioning of the exhaust duct favors effective exhaust gas circulation within the furnace and hence, increases hot-gases’ heat-transfer effectiveness inside the furnace. These results provide some guidelines for optimal aluminum reverberatory furnace designs and operation.

To analyze the heat transfer mechanism between fluidised beds and surfaces of an immersed object, the heat transfer and gas flow was numerically simulated for different particle systems based on a double particle-layer and porous medium model. It is fund that the conductive heat transfer occurs in the stifling regions between particle and the immersed surface, which have different temperature. The diameter of the circular conduction region, dc, is a function of particle diameter, dp, and can be given by dc/dp = 0.245dp−0.3. In other areas, the heat transfer between the dense gas-solid phase and the immersed object surface is dominated by convection from the moving gas in the tunnel formed by the first-layer particles and the immersed surfaces. The average dimensionless gas velocity, εmfU/Umf, in the tunnel is a constant of about 4.6. The virtual gas temperature at the free stream conditions can be given by the surface temperature of the first-layer particles. The heat transfer coefficient on the conductive region is about 6∼10 times of that on the convection region. The Nusselt numbers for calculating the instantaneous conductive and convective heat-transfer coefficients were theoretically analysed respectively.

In this paper, for Super304H steel, the growth law of oxide films and the heat transfer characteristics between the pipe and the working fluid were investigated by using numerical software ANSYS, which simulated comprehensively the effects of pipe size, flow rates of steam, flue gas temperature, and steam temperature on the formation and thickness of the oxide film. A bigger pipe wall thickness, a smaller steam flow rate or a higher flue gas temperature will lead the faster growth of the oxide film thickness, the heat flux density through the wall being smaller and the wall temperature being higher. With increases in steam temperature and thickness of the oxide film, the heat flux through the wall decreases with a small amplitude, and the average temperature of tube walls increases slightly.

Condensing Heat Exchanger

In order for the operation of the condensing heat exchanger to be efficient, the flue gas temperature at the inlet to the heat exchanger should be reduced so that condensation can start from the very beginning of the exchanger. A possible way to reduce the flue gas temperature is the injection of water into the flue gas flow. Injected water additionally moistens the flue gas and increases its level of humidity. Therefore, more favorable conditions are created for condensation and heat transfer. The results presented in the second paper of the series on condensation heat transfer indicate that water injection into the flue gas flow drastically changes the distribution of temperatures along the heat exchanger and enhances local total heat transfer. The injected water causes an increase in the local total heat transfer by at least two times in comparison with the case when no water is injected. Different temperatures of injected water mainly have a major impact on the local total heat transfer until almost the middle of the model of the condensing heat exchanger. From the middle part until the end, the heat transfer is almost the same at different injected water temperatures.

A stainless steel corrugated fins and flat-tube heat exchanger is designed, which has a plate-fin structure. To optimize the structural parameters of this exchanger, including corrugation angle, corrugation pitch and fin length, 3-D simulation model and test were proposed. The numerical results indicated that the corrugation angle significantly affects both on heat transfer performance and pressure drop. The fin with angle, A = 0~20?, have demonstrated the higher heat transfer efficiency, lesser gas condensation, lower pressure drop, higher outlet flue gas temperature in low T region, and no exceeding the distortion temperature in high T region. Corrugation pitch and fin length influence thermal and hydraulic characteristics, outlet flue gas temperature, and fin temperature. To improve heat transfer performance, and reduce the fin temperature in high T region and ease gas condensation in low T region, smaller corrugation pitch and shorter fin length were recommended in the low T region, whereas higher values were more reasonable in high T region. Noticeably, the heat transfer and flow characteristics were better in the high T region than the low T region. Therefore, higher priority should be given to the structural optimization in the high T region in order to in-crease the heat transfer enhancement

Heat Transfer By Radiation

The thermocouples of K type with one layer casing for reducing heat transfer by radiation was used to measure the flue gas temperature of two boilers with 670t/h evaporation. In order to diminish the measurement error, this paper offers a theoretical calculation method to correct the measured temperature basing on the heat transfer theory, the extraction thermocouple with three layers ceramic casing was used to check the reliability of corrected temperature. The measured temperature by extraction thermocouple is access to the corrected temperature, which means that the correction method in this paper has feasibility. This paper obtained the flue gas temperature and its distribution of two boilers with 670t/h evaporation applying such correction method, and analyzed the reasons why the reheat steam temperature is lower than design temperature for one of boilers. Although the flue gas temperature correction method in this paper isn’t perfect, it is benefit for improving the accuracy of measured temperature, reducing the temperature errors, and it has directive and reference functions for test or research engineers.
