Review of Physical Metallurgy of Creep Steel for the Design of Modern Steam Power Plants – Fundamental Theories and Parametric Models

The need for electricity supply has increased tremendously in recent time thereby necessitating an improvement in the efficiency of steam power plant. A greater efficiency leads to a saving in fuel for a given electricity output with a consequential reduction in the rate at which damage is done to...

description The need for electricity supply has increased tremendously in recent time thereby necessitating an improvement in the efficiency of steam power plant. A greater efficiency leads to a saving in fuel for a given electricity output with a consequential reduction in the rate at which damage is done to the earth’s environment. This paper looks at the physical metallurgy theories and parametric models that have been the bases in the design of steel for power plant applications.
