Abstract

Design parameters (such as bed depth, distance between air distributor and bottom of the tube bundle, tube diameter, staggered or in-line tube arrangement, and tube material hardness) are thought to play a role in tube wear. As in Chap. 4, the sensitivity of the erosion models to changes in each of these parameters is determined and, where possible, compared with data.
