Key issues:
- Ensure superheater outlet steam properties meet the turbine requirements.
- Reduce calculation time.
- Identify two phase regions, Flashing, Superheating.
Methodology:
- Determine pressure drop over the superheater element of a boiler.
- Investigate possibility of Two-phase flow expected in certain sections of the superheater.
Solution:
- Two-phase flow was found in the section between the drum and inlet to the first heating element.
- The temperature and pressure at the outlet header exit were within 0.04% of required results.
