Abstract:

The boiler tube has an essential role in converting water from liquid to vapour. Nevertheless, it requires a variety of materials that has a role to play in finding the best properties of materials, primarily at a steam power plant. One of the properties, when a boiler is run, is to obtain pressure. Several pieces of the literature indicated that surface characteristics influence a material's life after receiving continuous stress with the pH quality of feed water which leads to failure. This study aims to suggest feedwater pH and different materials for boiler tubes by using CFD. We choose pH values that are used in feed water (6.5 and 8.8), and the materials are carbon steel (ST20 and ST 45.8) for the boiler tube.
By analyzing these tubes with parameters of temperature difference & pH range of feed water, the erosion rate of the boiler tube has been shown by the above parameters of feed water. So we analyze the boiler tube in different materials using CFD that the results of fluid temperature difference. By this comparison, we can find which material is suitable for a boiler tube with pH value.
