Boiler tube remaining life according to Larson-Miller parameter
This research aims to address the problem of the remaining boiler tube life according to the Larson-Miller parameter (LMP). Boiler tubes are used in a wide variety of industrial applications and are subject of deterioration due to corrosion and other environmental damage. It is estimated that 10% of...
