Measures of Furnace Performance
Temperature Field Coefficient Temperature field coefficient accounts for the temperature distribution in the furnace. It is a function of relative level of the burners and on the type of fuels burnt. The expression of M is given as: Z r is the relative position of highest temperature zone wrt to furnace bottom. DZ is a correction factor for tilt of burners. C1 &C2 are constants depend on fuel quality
Distribution of Heat Flux Average Heat flux can be calculated using: As the temperature and emissivity of flame is not uniform in the furnace volume, the local heat flux is not uniform. Actual local wall temperature depends on the value of local heat flux. Special experiments are carried out to find the heat flux distribution on water wall.
