Improvement of the Calculation Methods for Flow Distribution in Utility Boiler's Superheater and Reheater

The prediction of flow distribution in manifolds is important in the design of utility boiler's superheater and reheater. The branch tube number at a cross section of the header, the pitch between tube panels and T junction inlet pipe are the great influential factors on flow distribution in manifolds. The various continuous models available in the literature fail to predict satisfactorily the flow distribution in manifolds due to neglecting these influential factors, which often causes failure design. In this paper, a discrete model matching with the real physical phenomenon was proposed to predict the flow distribution in manifolds. The experimental evaluation of pressure distribution in the header near T junction inlet pipe was carried out to support the discrete model calculations. A boiler reheater in which overheating tube burst accident occurred was taken as an example. The flow distribution in manifolds and tube wall temperature inside the furnace were calculated by using the discrete model and a popular continuous model separately. The calculating results show that the prediction carried out by the discrete model coincides with the real conditions, and it improves the continuous model in which exists large calculation error.
