 | Boiler Tube Failure Mechanisms This book presents failure mechanisms of different boiler components and preventive measures. It illustrates the basic steam flow and circuit design of steam boiler, boiler design parameters, boiler components materials and their behavior at different temperatures. The book aims to identify the cause(s) of in-service failure of secondary superheater tube, platen superheater tube and furnace water wall tube and also presents the solutions to avoid the future failures. This volume will be of interest to researchers and professionals working in the areas of energy, power generation, electric power plants, thermodynamics, industrial chemistry, etc. Dr. Atanu Saha has over 25 years extensive experience in the field of residual life assessment study of power and process plant components and failure analysis of different engineering components. He has served numerous industries like power, petrochemical, steel etc. He has several research articles in reputed international SCI journals. Dr. Saha has authored and presented several technical papers relating to residual life assessment study and failure analysis of engineering components. He has conducted training programs on various aspects of residual life assessment and failure analysis techniques for practicing engineers. Dr. Saha is member of Central Boilers Board, Government of India (Ministry of Commerce and Industry) and Boilers and Pressure Vessels Sectional Committee, Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), Government of India. |
