Steam temperature and flow maldistribution in superheater headers
Heat exchangers and steam headers are at the heart of any boiler and are susceptible to a range of failures including tube leaks, ligament cracking, creep and fatigue. These common forms of header failure mechanisms can be exacerbated by local thermal stresses due to temperature and flow maldistribu...
