In this study, a small punch creep(SP-Creep) test using miniaturized specimen$(10{\times}10{\times}0.5mm)$ has been described for the development of the newly semi-destructive creep test method for high temperature structural components such as headers and tubes of boiler turbine casino and rotor and reactor vessel. The SP-Creep testing technique has been applied to 2.25Cr-1Mo(STBA24) steel used widely as boiler tube material and the creep test temperature are varied at $550^{\circ}C{\sim}600^{\circ}C$. The overall deformations of SP-Creep curves are definitely depended with applied load and creep test temperature and show the creep behaviors of three steps like conventional uniaxial creep curves. The steady state creep rate${\delta}_{ss}$ of SP-Creep curve for miniaturized specimen increases with increasing creep temperature, but the exponential value with creep loading is decreased. The activation energy$(Q_{spc})$ during SP-Creep deformation with various test temperatures shows 605.7kJ/mol that is g.eater than 467.4kJ/mol reported in uniaxial creep test. This may be caused by the difference of stress states during creep deformation In two creep test. But from the experimental results, e.g. SP-Creep curve behaviors, the steady state creep rate${\delta}_{ss}$ with creep temperature, and the exponential value(n) with creep loading, it can be summarized that the SP-Creep test may be a useful test method to evaluate the creep properties of the heat resisting material.

In this study, the design conditions and CFD analysis results are compared and reviewed in SCR that can optimally reduce nitrogen compounds. To this end, it was analyzed and compared using CFD to see if the design criteria were satisfied for the shell and tube areas of the boiler. In the SCR system, the analysis area is the gas/air heat exchanger on the shell side, and eight tubes of the gas/air heat exchanger on the tube side. Through CFD analysis, the gas velocity distribution on the primary catalyst side of the SCR system was designed to be 2.4%, and the NH3/NOx molar ratio distribution was 3.7%, which satisfied the design criteria. In addition, the uniformity of the temperature distribution was confirmed and the required condition of 260℃ or higher was satisfied. The angle of the gas entering the catalyst met the design conditions at 2.9 degrees, and the pressure loss that occurred also satisfied the design requirements. Through this CFD analysis, it was confirmed that it was designed and operated by satisfying the design conditions required for each area.

There are various types of heat exchanger by its purpose and usage, but the important thing is making smaller size of heat exchanger with increasing of the performance of heat exchanger. However, when a burner exists in front of a heat exchanger like boiler, the thermal efficiency of heat exchanger is not only important, but the characteristics of pollutant emission should be considered. Therefore, in this study, a circular tube type of heat exchanger in front of premixed burne, which has a shorter of flame length than that of non-premixed burner and can control $NO_x$ and CO emission by adjustment of equivalence ratio, was installed. Consequently, characteristics of $NO_x$ and CO emission and thermal efficiency of heat exchanger were studied with changing distances between tubes and equivalence ratio, experimentally.

A low alloy-steel(2.25Cr-1.0Mo) has been widely used for boiler piping, header and tubes in high temperature and pressure conditions of the thermal power plant. It is common knowledge that the repair welding is permitted two or three times by customary practice rule, but there is no regulation to limit the number of repair welding base on the study heat-affected zone(HAZ), which is the weakest zone when repair welding is under taken, by experiments about the metallographic degradation and mechanical properties. Therefore, this study aims to verify the reliability of 5 times repair welding through conducting the experimental observation in the mechanical and the metallographic change on HAZ varying repair welding times. In results of the experiments, it is concluded that the reliability was kept in HAZ even up to the fifth repairs.

A thermal design software is developed for the heat recovery steam generator(HRSG) of combined cogeneration systems. The heat transfer is calculated by using the element method to account for the varying thermal properties across the heat transfer elements. The circulation balance is computed for the evaporator to accurately estimate the steam generation rate and to check the proper circulation of the boiler water through the tubes. The software developed can be used to simulate HRSG systems with various combinations of auxiliary burner, wall superheater, superheater, reheater, evaporator, and economizer. Systems with several different combinations of the system components are successfully tested. And it is concluded that the developed software can be used for the design of heat recovery steam generators with various combinations of heat transfer components.

열고환기에는 boiler와 같이 다량의 열 energy를 취급하는 것을 비롯하여 가정용 냉장고, 냉방기 기와 같이 비교적 적은 양의 열 energy를 취급하는것, 가종 고온 gas-gas 열교환기, 초전도송전 등의 초저온기기에 부속되는 저온열교환기 혹은 배열회수, 태양열이용을 위한 장치에 포함되는 열교환기등이 있으며, 그 종류와 내용에 있어서 다양하다. 따라서 새 형식의 열교환기 혹은 우수 한 전열특성을 갖는 표면, 형상을 갖는 전열관의 연구, 개발은 한층더 절실하게 요망된다. 최근주 목을 받고 있는 열교환기용전열관중에는 관축방향을 따라 표면을 파상으로 가공한 것(corrugate 식)과 축과 평형이 되게 만든 좁은 흠을 갖는 관(fluted tube)등이 있는데 이들에 있어서는 다같 이 표면의 요철에 의한 면부근의 난동을 촉진시켜서 우수한 대류열전달의 특성을 갖도록 하고 있다. 한편 응축과 비등등의 상변화를 동반하는 열전달에 대해서는 세구, 기공질금속층, 세공등을 갖는 면에 관해서 새로운 관심이 집중되고 있다. 이 후자의 전열면은 유축열전달에서는 평활면보 다 약10배의 높은 열전달율을 가지며 불등열전달에서는 벽면과 액의 온도차는 평활면의 경우보다 약1/5의 값을 갖는다. 동시에 한계열유속은 5활이상으로 증가시킬 수 있음이 알려져 있다. 따라서 본론에서는 후자의 전열면중에서 최근에 알려진 비약적으로 높은 전열성능을 갖는 전열면에 관해 서 소개하기로 한다.

Stress of a steam separator, equipment of the high-pressure (HP) evaporator for a HRSG, was analyzed and evaluated according to ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII Division 2. First, from the analysis results of the piping system model of the HP evaporator, reaction forces of the riser tubes connected to the steam separator, i.e., nozzle loads, were derived. Next, a finite element model of the steam separator was constructed and analyzed for the design pressure and the nozzle loads. The results show that the maximum stress occurred at the bore of the riser nozzle. The primary membrane stresses at the shell and nozzle were found to be less than the allowable stress. Next, the steam separator was analyzed for the steady-state operating conditions of operating pressure, operating temperature, and nozzle loads. The maximum stress occurred at the bore of the riser nozzle. The primary plus secondary membrane plus bending stress at the shell and nozzle was found to be less than the allowable stress.

The contents of this paper include a non-destructive technique for evaluating the degradation of the boiler superheater tube in a fossil power plant through an electrochemical polarization test. Correlation between Ip of polarization parameter and SP-DBTT for the superheater tubes in long-term use was obtained. 1.0Cr-0.5Mo steel was degraded by softening, and the degree of degradation was dependent upon carbides with Cr and Mo elements. Since brittle fracture at low temperature and ductile fracture mode at high temperature were shown, similarity between standard Charpy and small punch tests could be found. In addition, SP-DBTT showing the degree of degradation was higher, as the time-in use of the materials got longer. Electrolyte including picric acid of 1.3 g in distilled water of 100ml at 25.deg. C temperature and sodium tridecylbenzene sulfonate with 1g could be applied to evaluate the degradation of 1.0Cr-0.5Mo steel by means of the electrochemical polarization test. Ip and Ipa values measured through the electrochemical test are the appropriate parameters for representing the degradation of the superheater tube(1.0Cr-0.5Mo steel) for the fossil power plant. It is poassible to evaluate the degradation of materials with different time histories electrochemically, by Ip value only, at field test.

In general, the circulation path of the fluidized particles in a CFB (Circulating Fluidized Bed) boiler is such that the particles entrained from a combustor are collected by a cyclone and recirculated to the combustor via a sealpot which is one of non-mechanical valves. However, when a fluidized bed heat exchanger (FBHE) is installed to additionally absorb heat from the fluidized particles, some particles in the sealpot pass through the FBHE and then flow into the combustor. At this time, in the FBHE operated in the bubbling fluidization regime, if the heat flow is not evenly distributed by poor mixing of the hot particles (800~950 ℃) flowing in from the sealpot, the heat exchanger tubes would be locally heated and then damaged, and the agglomeration of particles could also occur by formation of hot spot. This may affect the stable operation of the circulating fluidized bed. In this study, the unevenness of heat flow arising from structural problems of the FBHE of the domestic D-CFB boiler was found through the operating data analysis and the CPFD (Computational Particle Fluid Dynamics) simulation using Barracuda VR. Actually, the temperature of the heat exchanger tubes in the FBHE showed the closest correlation with the change in particle temperature of the sealpot. It was also found that the non-uniformity of the heat flow was caused by channeling of hot particles flowing in from the sealpot. However, it was difficult to eliminate the non-uniformity even though the fluidizing velocity of the FBHE was increased enough to fluidize hot particles vigorously. When the premixing zone for hot particles flowing in from the sealpot is installed and when the structure is changed through the symmetrization of the FBHE discharge line for particles reflowing into the combustor, the particle mixing and the uniformity of heat flow were found to be increased considerably. Therefore, it could be suggested that the structural modification of the FBHE, related to premixing and symmetric flow of hot particles, is an alternative to reduce the non-uniformity of the heat flow and to minimize the poor particle mixing.

Stress and fatigue of the distributor, an equipment of the high-pressure evaporator for the HRSG, were evaluated according to ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII Division 2. First, from the results of the piping system analysis model, reaction forces of the tubes connected to the distributor were derived and used as the nozzle load applied to the detailed analysis model of the distributor afterward. Next, the detailed model to analyze the distributor was constructed, the distributor being statically analyzed for the design condition with the steam pressure and the nozzle load. As a result, the maximum stress occurred at the bore of the horizontal nozzle, and the primary membrane stress at the shell and nozzle was found to be less than the allowable. Next, for the transient operating conditions given for the distributor, thermal analysis was performed and the structural analysis was carried out with the steam pressure, nozzle load, and thermal load. Under the transient conditions, the maximum stress occurred at the vertical downcomer nozzle, and of which fatigue life was evaluated. As a result, the cumulative usage factor was less than the allowable and hence the distributor was found to be safe from fatigue failure.
