Abstract

The economizer is used to preheat the feed water used in the boiler. The economizer includes an extra quantity of tubes linked parallel to each other. On the internal aspect of the tubes, the feed water is passed and the flue gas popping out from the chimney is passed over at the surface of the tubes to increase the feed water temperature. To increase the heat transfer rate, the material of the tubes can be modified. We have changed the material of the tubes from carbon steel to wrought iron. The thermal conductivity of the wrought iron is excessive. Because of this, the heat transfer rate can also be increased and the temperatures of the water coming out from the economizer tubes get multiplied. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is one of the pleasant-suitable software for the analysis of flow styles which involve the dynamic parameters inside the drift. The CFD evaluation is used to measure the temperature rate of the water coming out from the tubes. The temperature changes analyzed by using CFD-Fluent Flow for wrought iron tubes with existing carbon steel tubes.
