I would appreciate it if you could help a structural engineer looking for some background information.
What are the design standards that govern the design of flues and ducts that connect to boilers? Particularly for the power generation industry (primary air ducts, forced draft duct, induced draft ducts, secondary draft ducts, economizer outlet flues etc.) I am not seeking design information about boilers unless these components are considered to be part of the boiler. Am I correct in assuming that they are not part of the boiler?
Are minimum (and maximum) design pressures set by any particular standard or code? Or must pressures by calculated by CFD?
Are the stresses in the plates and stiffeners governed by AISC or is there an alternate standard for these components?
Any insight or references you might be able to call out would be appreciated.
