Thermal Performance of Coal-Fired Power Plant based on Number of Feedwater Heaters

This study aims to investigate the feasibility of using a feedwater heaters system with coal-fired power plant. Furthermore, influence evaluation different coal consumption on plants in terms output and thermal efficiency improvements. As well, this focuses effect heaters' numbers which caused highest exergy destruction plants. For values consumption, parametric was conducted determine The results show that, when increases will too. slight decreases efficiencies are due small differences how mass flow rates streams increase. increased by about 16% fuel 40 kg/s. It observed that operating plant at high leads reduce effective ness output.
