Three-dimensional analysis of creep void formation in steam-methane reformer tubes
In methanol processing plants, steam-methane reformers consist of hundreds of vertical tubes operating at temperatures up to 1000°C. These reformer tubes fail by creep through the formation of creep voids during service. Preliminary research showed that the occurrence of these voids was not random a...
