As previously reported in Power Engineering and other sources (but where regular reminders are extremely important), the phenomenon of flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) has for years been a serious ...

The cause of the loud noises emitted by the Duke Energy Combined Cycle Plant was steam being released by three safety valves after a sensor malfunctioned and caused a backup in pipes. Photo submitted.

Steam heat transfer and pressure loss correlations and a thermal design procedure are presented which permit automotive steam generators to be designed on a local basis both with and without swirl ...
