Economizer Design for High-Pressure Feedwater

The document presents three engineering problems related to thermal systems. It includes calculations for pressure head and steam formation in a furnace wall riser, water spray requirements for a desuperheater, and the design of an economizer for feedwater heating. Each problem requires specific parameters and formulas to determine the necessary outcomes for efficient system operation.

Tutorial 6

Q.1. A furnace wall riser, 18 m long, 76.2 mm OD and 6.1 mm thick receives
saturated water at 80 bar and 1.5 m/s velocity. Assuming a circulation ratio
of 12.5, determine (a) the pressure head developed, (b) rate of steam
formation in the riser tube.

Q.2. A spray type desuperheater is supplied with water at 60 °C. It is


connected in a steam line carrying 200 t/h of steam at 35 bar. Calculate the
amount of water that must be sprayed per hour to maintain steam at 400 °C
when the boiler load causes steam to leave at 450 °C.

Q.3. Feedwater from the high-pressure heater enters the inlet header of the
economizer at the rate of 600 kg/s and at 140 bar, 170 °C. It is heated by
flue gases till it becomes saturated liquid at that pressure and leaves the
outlet header to flow into the drum. Flue gases flow over the economizer
coils at the rate of 1250 kg/s and leave at 450 °C. To restrict the erosion
rate by fly ash, the flue gas velocity should not exceed 12 m/s, while the
optimum water velocity leaving the coils is 1.2 m/s. The tubes are of 70 mm
od and 60 mm id. The overall heat transfer coefficient may be taken as 70
W/m2K. Determine the number of coils needed in the economizer and the
length of one coil. Take cp of flue gases as 1.12 kJ/kg K.
