- Additional information
- Power Plant Headers have been identified as “at risk” components by industry (replacement costs circa £2M) and have therefore received attention. The analysis during an operation cycle is commonly achieved using un-coupled thermo-mechanical analyses with an assumed temperature field which makes significant assumptions regarding the interplay between thermodynamic quantities. The work presented here has identified the need to quantify the effect that a variable heat transfer coefficient has on stress analysis and has led to further collaboration and funding from EDF via a part industry/part faculty funded PhD project (contact: Prof Andy Morris).
