Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suspended magnetite particles in boiler water may deposit in lower orifice headers in forced circulation boilers, impeding flow and causing inefficiencies, ultimately leading to overheating boiler tube failures. The surface charge and zeta potential developed by the suspended particles could be a driving factor in this process. To study the mechanism behind the deposition of suspended magnetite on stainless steel, laboratory-scale experiments were carried out under a range of standard boiler water chemistry, simulating fouling experienced in boiler units. A high-temperaturehigh-pressure electrophoretic deposition cell with provisions to test deposition on metal substrates has been developed. The trends in the deposition processes for the various chemistry were validated using visual observations, surface microscopy, and in situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). A three-electrode assembly design was developed to carry out the in situ electrochemical measurements in various boiler water environments. The experimental setup was successfully used to test boiler water chemistry at 300C (572F) and 10 MPa (1450 psi). The chemistry tested included all-volatile treatment (AVT; oxidizing and reducing using hydrazine), caustic treatment (CT), phosphate treatment (PT), and a filming amine (GE HRSG-02). In addition, the effect of particle size on the deposition process was studied. The experimental results have been explained using established principles of suspended oxide behavior in aqueous environments. The results indicated that the presence of suspended magnetite particles at a pH25C = 9.3, controlled by ammonium hydroxide, caused the particles to aggressively deposit on the stainless steel surface. On the other end of the AVT spectrum, when tested at pH25C = 9.8, no visually observable deposits were found on the surface of the steel. Operating close to the point of zero charge of magnetite at 300 C resulted in deposition and moving away from the point of zero charge mitigated deposition. In case of the caustic treatment and phosphate treatment, it was seen that the compression of the double layer due to the additional electrolytes in the system could influence the deposition process even when the pH of the system was away from the point of zero charge of magnetite at 300C. No significant influence of hydrazine was observed on the deposition of magnetite. Impedance spectroscopy was successfully used in these tests to identify in situ the cases where deposition occurred. The filming amine chemistry did not mitigate deposition completely, but the presence of the HRSG-02 affected the nature of deposits observed on the substrate. Macroscopically the substrate appeared to be covered with deposits and some darker regions. The results of the filming amine study point to possible interactions between the amine-substrate and amine-magnetite. Increasing the particle size distribution clearly showed a decrease in the deposition even though the boiler water chemistry was conducive for deposition. Although, controlling the particle size is not an option for utility boilers, these tests provide further insight into understanding deposition at high temperatures in boiler type environments. In addition to experimental results, the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory has been used to model the behavior of the suspended particles under the AVT boiler water chemistry regime. The DLVO interaction energy curves and the calculated agglomeration probabilities support the experimental observations regarding the deposition of magnetite under the AVT regime. Such calculations can be extended to other treatment chemistries as well providing means to predict the behavior of suspended particles in boiler water. In summary, this study has clearly established a link between the solution chemistry at 300 C (572 F) to the deposition of magnetite on 304 SS. The results show that the zeta potential, which is influenced by the pH of the solution, could be the major factor dictating the susceptibility of deposition at these conditions. EIS was used successfully to establish that magnetite deposition results in high values (> 106 ) of the magnitude of the impedance. Although qualitative, this could provide valuable information when monitoring boilers and power plants for deposition. These results also proved the success of the experimental setup developed in this project for simulating the boiler environments of interest and for studying the deposition phenomena commonly faced in boilers. This study is a one of a kind study focusing purely on the particle attachment aspect of deposition across a wide range of boiler water treatment chemistries with the results supported by surface analyses, impedance spectroscopy and theoretical calculations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ATMOSPHERIC CORROSION Presents a comprehensive look at atmospheric corrosion, combining expertise in corrosion science and atmospheric chemistry Atmospheric corrosion has been a subject of engineering study, largely empirical, for nearly a century. Scientists came to the field rather later on and had considerable difficulty bringing their arsenal of tools to bear on the problem. Atmospheric corrosion was traditionally studied by specialists in corrosion having little knowledge of atmospheric chemistry, history, or prospects. Atmospheric Corrosion provides a combined approach bringing together experimental corrosion and atmospheric chemistry. The second edition expands on this approach by including environmental aspects of corrosion, atmospheric corrosion modeling, and international corrosion exposure programs. The combination of specialties provides a more comprehensive coverage of the topic. These scientific insights into the corrosion process and its amelioration are the focus of this book. Key topics include the following: Basic principles of atmospheric corrosion chemistry Corrosion mechanisms in controlled and uncontrolled environments Degradation of materials in architectural, transport, and structural applications; electronic devices; and cultural artifacts Protection of existing materials and choosing new ones that resist corrosion Prediction of how and where atmospheric corrosion may evolve in the future Complete with appendices discussing experimental techniques, computer models, and the degradation of specific metals, Atmospheric Corrosion, Second Edition continues to be an invaluable resource for corrosion scientists, corrosion engineers, conservators, environmental scientists, and anyone interested in the theory and application of this evolving field. The book concerns primarily the atmospheric corrosion of metals and is written at a level suitable for advanced undergraduates or beginning graduate students in any of the physical or engineering sciences.

This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years the effort devoted to assuring both the safety and reliability of commercial nuclear fission power reactors has markedly increased. The incentives for performing this work are large since the resulting im provement in plant productivity translates into lower fuel costs and, more importantly, reduced reliance on imported oil. Reliability and availability of nuclear power plants, whether fission or fusion, demand that more attention be focused on the behavior of materials. Recent experiences with fission power indicate that the basic properties of materials, which categorize their reliable behavior under specified conditions, need reinforcement to assure trouble-free operation for the expected service life. The pursuit of additional information con tinues to demand a better understanding of some of the observed anom alous behavior, and of the margin of resistance of materials to unpre dictable service conditions. It is also apparent that, next to plasma heating and confinement, materials selection represents the most serious chal lenge to the introduction of fusion power. The recognition of the importance of materials performance to nu clear plant performance has sustained a multimillion dollar worldwide research and development effort that has yielded significant results, both in quantification of the performance limits of materials in current use and the development and qualification of new materials. Most of this infor mation appears in the open literature in the form of research reports, journal articles, and conference proceedings.

Download or read book Comprehensive Nuclear Materials written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2020-07-22 with total page 4871 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Materials in a nuclear environment are exposed to extreme conditions of radiation, temperature and/or corrosion, and in many cases the combination of these makes the material behavior very different from conventional materials. This is evident for the four major technological challenges the nuclear technology domain is facing currently: (i) long-term operation of existing Generation II nuclear power plants, (ii) the design of the next generation reactors (Generation IV), (iii) the construction of the ITER fusion reactor in Cadarache (France), (iv) and the intermediate and final disposal of nuclear waste. In order to address these challenges, engineers and designers need to know the properties of a wide variety of materials under these conditions and to understand the underlying processes affecting changes in their behavior, in order to assess their performance and to determine the limits of operation. Comprehensive Nuclear Materials, Second Edition, Seven Volume Set provides broad ranging, validated summaries of all the major topics in the field of nuclear material research for fission as well as fusion reactor systems. Attention is given to the fundamental scientific aspects of nuclear materials: fuel and structural materials for fission reactors, waste materials, and materials for fusion reactors. The articles are written at a level that allows undergraduate students to understand the material, while providing active researchers with a ready reference resource of information. Most of the chapters from the first Edition have been revised and updated and a significant number of new topics are covered in completely new material. During the ten years between the two editions, the challenge for applications of nuclear materials has been significantly impacted by world events, public awareness, and technological innovation. Materials play a key role as enablers of new technologies, and we trust that this new edition of Comprehensive Nuclear Materials has captured the key recent developments. Critically reviews the major classes and functions of materials, supporting the selection, assessment, validation and engineering of materials in extreme nuclear environments Comprehensive resource for up-to-date and authoritative information which is not always available elsewhere, even in journals Provides an in-depth treatment of materials modeling and simulation, with a specific focus on nuclear issues Serves as an excellent entry point for students and researchers new to the field
