Abstract:
Natural water often contains high concentrations of calcium salts. When the water is heated these salts precipitate out and form scale on the boiler surfaces reducing the energy efficiency of a system, and is difficult as well as costly to remove. Various chemical and nonchemical methods have been used to impede or delay the scale formation. One of these methods, magnetic water treatment, has aroused great interest because of its ease of use, reliability, and very low capital and operating costs. A mathematical model is proposed to explain the mechanism of this process.
