Thermal stress analysis for exhaust heat exchanger

Thermal stress induced in an object or structural member by restraint against movement is required to accommodate temperature changes. In this paper, the thermal stress and deformation of the exhaust heat exchanger on board a ship is analysed. The flow and temperature distributions of exhaust heat e...
