The issues of fouling, erosion and corrosion are commonly occurring phenomena on the flue
gas heat exchangers for middle/low temperature waste heat utilization due to the special …

The formation of particulate deposits on flue gas heat exchanger surfaces will reduce heat
transfer efficiency, increase the instability of equipment operation and introduce a major …

A numerical method was developed to investigate the fouling characteristics of a typical heat
exchanger. Firstly, an integrated fouling model which consists of a deposition process and a …

The discrete element method (DEM), based on JKR theory of adhesive elastic contacts, is
used for three-dimensional simulations of micro-particle deposition and aggregation on an …

Fouling of heat exchangers in industrial waste heat recovery is a problem which needs to be
solved urgently. In this paper, a numerical investigation on fly-ash deposition and removal …

The spiral finned tube (SFT) heat exchanger is a vital component in industrial boilers for
energy utilization and recovery. To enhance its efficiency and reduce material usage, a …

In this paper, numerical simulations were performed for the fouling characteristics and heat
transfer performance after fouling on the H-type finned tube heat exchangers, and the …
