FIRED HEATER PROCESS GAS
A client in the petrochemical industry sought help with regards to a fired heater employed on a plant. The client wished to perform thermal fatigue and stress analysis on the heater, especially during transient operating conditions such as start-up and on-off cyclic operations, where the possibility for large temperature gradients exists.
