Determination of the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) distribution is important during the
design and operation of many devices in microelectronics, construction, the car industry …

Heat transfer characteristics of supercritical carbon dioxide in circumferentially non-uniform
heated vertical upward flow near critical point are reported. Stainless steel tube with internal …

Tube overheating is the leading cause of boiler tube failures that had led to tremendous
replacement and maintenance costs. Boiler tube temperature is simultaneously affected by …

Computation of metal temperatures in a furnace waterwall of a boiler is necessary for the
proper selection of tube material and thickness. An adequate knowledge of the heat flux …

The present work introduces a way of predicting the local heat transfer coefficient in the
combustion chamber of a circulating fluidized bed combustor (CFBC) by the fuzzy logic (FL) …

Supercritical CO 2 has been a promising alternative working medium in coal-fired power
plants, high-temperature solar power systems, and fuel cells. In these cases, supercritical …

This paper proposes a mathematical model with distributed parameters that allows to
simulate the heat transfer processes in combustion chamber waterwalls of supercritical …

During the startup operation of molten salt solar tower plants, the tubes of the receiver are
subjected to a high nonhomogeneous heat flux along with a low heat transfer coefficient to …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to first present the key features of the fuzzy logic (FL)
approach as a cost-effective technique in simulations of complex systems and then …

The main aim of this paper is to estimate the lifetime of water walls of pulverized-coal boilers
at nominal conditions as well as after degradation of water tubes. An approach for a …
