Heat transfer Calculations for Boiler Design

Are there books or journals or commercial softwares available for thermal calculations of Boilers especially oil fired package boilers?

RE: Heat transfer Calculations for Boiler Design

Mark,
with regards to books or journals, yes there are available.
with regards to software, the software is likely not commercially available (corporate asset).
a potential contact is v. ganapathy at abco boilers in abilene, tx.  he has written many articles, journals, and books that are available for a $.  i beleive he has the articles he wrote on a cd.
another source of information is the book by the babcock and wilcox corporation regarding steam powered plants (do not recollect the correct book title).  good luck

RE: Heat transfer Calculations for Boiler Design

The book by Babcock and Wilcox that pmover suggests is, I believe, "Steam: its generation and use".  Half.com has quite a few copies on sale, check the edition, lots of are older ones out of the 60s.

RE: Heat transfer Calculations for Boiler Design

You might try "Heat Exchanger Design Handbook" by Hewitt.  It's available from Amazon.

There is one software called FireCAd listed at http://www.engineering-software.com/pr/sku27610.htm. I've downloaded the demo and tested. You need .NET run time too. Quite a good software.
