When the rate of heat transfer through tube walls is so reduced that the metal becomes overheated, which of the following conditions will result in the boiler?
• Heat transfer through boiler tubes and what happens when it is reduced • Meaning of fireside vs waterside/steamside damage • What happens to metal temperature when cooling is lost
• Which side of the tube (gas side or water/steam side) is directly affected when heat cannot be carried away by the water/steam inside the tube? • Which of the options describes damage caused mainly by overheated metal rather than erosion or flow-related damage? • Think about normal cooling of boiler tubes: what keeps the metal from overheating, and what failure term is used when that protection is lost on the gas side?
• Match each term to whether it is gas-side (fireside) or water/steam-side damage • Ask if the condition described is about loss of cooling or high-velocity steam erosion • Eliminate any options that mainly refer to metal loss/erosion by flow rather than overheating from reduced heat transfer
