The effect of water-side scale formation to heat transfer process and boiler efficiency

Boiler's role in steam generation industry has long been plagued by the scale formation problem. The scale problem has been primary cause for boiler shutdown as retardation of heat due to the presence of scale cause the tube to be overheated; hence tube rupture occurs in gradual. Besides, sc...
