To maximize the performance and safety of industrial boilers, this research examines their efficiency, highlighting the importance of thermal analysis and non-destructive testing (NDT). The study shows that careful design of pressure components and temperature and heat transfer calculations lead to higher thermal efficiency. It also examines non-destructive testing methods for finding structural flaws, emphasizing their importance in preventing failures and ensuring long-term, peak performance. The study's findings highlight how rigorous implementation of these techniques can significantly increase the operational safety and energy efficiency of industrial boilers.
