Abstract
Structural analysis and lifetime assessment of steam
drums in conventional power plants are discussed in this
article. The analyses involve damage and structural
mechanics, heat transfer analyses and fracture mechanics,
and are connected to fluid mechanics. The used input data
was from two steam drums in a Finnish fossil fuel power
plant. Structural mechanics analyses were performed with
FEM code ABAQUS. The lifetime analyses were performed
using fracture mechanics analysis code VTTBESIT1.0. The
primary considered damage mechanism was crack growth by
corrosion-fatigue. Conclusions of the analysis results
are summarised
