Original Abstract

The paper presents data from CFD modelling of wall heat flux distribution over the lengths and circumferences of tubes in the radiant chamber of a vertical cylindrical fired heater. These results are then compared to design parameters used in American Petroleum Institute (API) Standard 560. 2D parametric analyses of the effect of commonly encountered types of tube deformations on heat flux uniformity are discussed as well.
