The boiler efficiency is improved with the help of economizer it is one of
the main accessory part in the boiler. Boiler feed water is preheated with
the entry of reused flue gas through economizer. This present work is
planned to analyze the overall heat flux and overall heat transfer in the
boiler economizer. Higher amount of flue gases passing around the economizer
to preheat the feed water at the same time much more heat is transferred.
The heat transfer is analyzed by statistical method with influence of
different process parameters. Economizer fin dimensions are major
consideration to taken for this analysis and estimate the overall heat flux
and overall heat transfer. The process parameters of this study are named as
thickness of the fin (3.5 mm, 4 mm, 4.5 mm and 5 mm), Height of the fin (4
mm, 5 mm, 6 mm and 7 mm), Fin gap (12 mm, 14 mm, 16 mm and 18 mm and Tube
diameter (44 mm, 46 mm, 48 mm and 50 mm). The response values are finding as
overall heat flux and overall heat transfer.
