ABSTRACT: This research aims to present a simplified mathematical model to predict the performance of fire tube boilers, taking into account the necessity of knowing the components of exhaust gases and the extent of their compatibility with environmental laws and requirements. The model shown is for a horizontal, three-pass, wet-back fire tube boiler at steady-state, steady-flow operation. It is concluded from the applicability of the model for different boiler capacity ratings that the results are simplified and important for the boiler manufacturers to predict the performance and make the choice to modify the proposed design to achieve certain needs.
