Abstract
Analytical modeling on multiphase heat and mass transfer in full-scale heat exchangers were developed for pulverized coal-fired power plant applications. A computer code was developed using MATLAB (R2017a) software to predict the temperature profiles of flue gas and water, heat transfer rate, condensation rate of water vapor and Sulfuric acid vapor, and effectiveness of heat exchanger. Numerical simulations based on an analytical model of heat and mass transfer was conducted and compared with the measured data from the coal power plant. The predicted temperature of flue gas and water, heat transfer rate, and effectiveness agreed well with the measured data. An investigation of the impact of coal quality on heat transfer rate was performed. The code developed will be useful for effective design and troubleshooting of heat exchangers, optimize the timing of soot blower, and investigating the impact of coal quality in coal-fired power plants.
