These web pages,articles,papers,calculation procedures,surmises reflect my personal views on various technical aspects and not those of any organization.The author is not responsible for any loss or damage to equipment or deficiency in plant performance if these procedures or guidelines were implemented. These are general,technical discussions and conclusions may vary depending on case to case and specific situation or boundary conditions. The mainpurpose of these web pages is to educate and stimulate thinking among young engineers,aspiring consultants and even experienced engineers who have misconceptions about boiler performance aspects!-V.Ganapathy.
