Optimization of insulating

material in boiler pipelines

 Abstract
• In this paper discuss about the various insulating
material used in this boiler pipelines for the heat
transfer of the pipelines. This insulating materials
takes place major role .so we going to optimize
the maximum heat transfer takes place and the
insulation thickness. we going to investigate and
taking the various fiber and to calculate the
maximum heat transfer the thermal conductivity ,
thermal coefficient, thermal expansion and to
calculate the heat transfer coefficient.
 LITERATURE REVIEW

C. Basavaraju has done intensive research on piping systems, materials used,

supports, fittings, insulation properties, operating medium in pipe line and analysed the main stream
line of thermal power plant and provided supports to successful installation. In the journal, the
tertiary supports such as hanger was used.

Mat´as Alvarado has given the basic ideas about the piping analysis software

CAESAR II. PSA is a complex engineering discipline which covers the design, analysis and
identification of piping problems by ensuring that weight, thermal, and pressure stresses are at
acceptable levels specified in engineering design standards, problems such as thermal deadweight
analysis seismic analysis (static or dynamic); wind load analysis; transient analysis; dynamic
analysis about exchanging data from CAESAR II
