Abstract

Air preheater is a heat transfer surface in which air temperature is raised by transferring heat from other media such as flue gas which is coming from boiler exhaust. The paper presents the design of regenerative –air preheater to designed to meet specific performance requirements, using the software application CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) / CADD. An analytical study was planned to find out the various heat transfer performance parameters like outlet and inlet air temperature of the air preheater and the boiler, Pressure drop inside the Air preheater and the boiler heat transfer coefficients, heat transfer rate, overall heat transfer coefficient and Velocity of the air and flue gas also Conduction and convection modes of heat transfer were found. These heat transfer parameters are critical in designing and functioning of the air Preheater and to calculate the efficiency of the boiler.
