Background
The Hotbox Analysis considers thermal effects due to high temperature fluid in the vessel. Conduction, convection and thermal radiation were all considered in order to establish the correct temperature distribution in the y-joint. The model also considered nonlinear effects such as plasticity,
large displacements and contact. Local damage and fatigue was evaluated as per ASME section VIII Div 2 design by Analysis rules.
