The corrosion failure analysis of an SA210 steel used in high pressure evaporator tube is conducted by XRD, SEM, OM. The result shows that the corrosion products in the inner wall of the steel tube is Fe3O4, mainly caused by the residual water in the evaporator tube corroding its inner wall with oxygen after the hydrostatic test of the boiler, finally leading to the corrosion leak of the tube.

This paper presents corrosion failure analysis of an underground natural gas pipeline. The pipeline material grade is 20# steel. The pipeline transfers multiphase fluid (Crude oil and water) from an oil well to an oil gathering plant. A portion of the line failed due to pitting corrosion under unknown circumstances. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) are employed to characterize the scales and/or corrosion products near the failed portion. Based on visual and microscopic analyses and reviewing the background information, the following pitting corrosion sequences were identified: When the water ratio was smaller than 50%, the oil slick could cover the surface of the 20# test samples. Some uncovered surface would be corroded. When the water ratio was more than 70%, the surface of 20# steel contacted with more water. The average corrosion rate increased, and the corrosion products also formed, which would behave as a good diffusion barrier to prevent the underlying steel from further dissolution. Meanwhile, because of the corrosion products, the penetration rate also increased, the trend of local corrosion became weak with the water ratio continued to increase. The pitting corrosion varied with the water ratio because of the protection conferred by the oil slick or the corrosion product layer. Under such conditions, pits emerged on the steel surface until one of them grew faster and failed the oil pipeline.

Increasing the energy efficiency of a gas turbine plant can be achieved by exhaust gas heat recovery in a recovery boiler. Establishing some correlations between the parameters of the boiler and of the turbine is done usually based on mathematical models. In this paper it is determined from experimental point of view, the effectiveness of a heat recovery boiler, which operates together with a gas turbine power plant. Starting from the scheme for framing the measurement devices, we have developed a measurement procedure of the experimental data. For experimental data processing is applied the effectiveness - number of transfer unit method. Based on these experimental data we establish correlations between the recovery boiler effectiveness and the gas turbine plant characteristics. The method can be adapted depending on the type of flow in the recovery boiler.

The main objective of this paper is to establish a mathematical framework to analyze the complex thermal economic performance of the calcination process. To find the factors affecting exergy efficiency loss, different exergy destruction is investigated in detail. Furthermore, the exergy flow cost model for exergy cost saving has also been developed. The results show that the vertical shaft furnace is a self-sufficiency equipment without additional fuel required, but the overall exergy destruction accounts for 54.11% of the total exergy input. In addition, the energy efficiency of the waste heat recovery boiler and thermal deaerator are 83.52% and 96.40%, whereas the exergy efficiency of the two equipment are 65.98% and 94.27%. Furthermore, the import exergy flow cost of vertical shaft furnace, waste heat recovery boiler and thermal deaerator are 366.5197 RMB/MJ, 0.1426 RMB/MJ and 0.0020RMB/MJ, respectively. Based on the result, several suggestions were proposed to improve the exergoeconomic performance. Assessing the performance of suggested improvements, the total exergy destruction of vertical shaft furnace is reduced to 134.34 GJ/h and the exergy efficiency of waste heat recovery boiler is raised up to 66.02%. Moreover, the import exergy flow cost of the three different equipment is reduced to 0.0329 RMB/MJ, 0.1304 RMB/MJ and 0.0002 RMB/MJ, respectively.
