Increasing the Efficiency of Existing Coal-Fired Power Plants
Coal has long been the major fossil fuel used to produce electricity. However, coal-fired electric power plants are one of the largest sources of air pollution in the United States, with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from burning of fossil fuels believed to be the major contributor to global climate change. Regulations under development at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) would impose...
متن کاملassessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea
data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
Power Plants, Steam and Gas Turbines WebQuest
A WebQuest is an Internet-based and inquiry-oriented learning activity. The aim of this work is to outline the creation of a WebQuest entitled “Power Generation Plants: Steam and Gas Turbines.” This is one of the topics covered in the course “Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer,” which is offered in the second year of Mechanical Engineering at the Defense University Center at the Naval Academy in ...
متن کاملThermodynamic, energy efficiency, and power density analysis of reverse electrodialysis power generation with natural salinity gradients.
Reverse electrodialysis (RED) can harness the Gibbs free energy of mixing when fresh river water flows into the sea for sustainable power generation. In this study, we carry out a thermodynamic and energy efficiency analysis of RED power generation, and assess the membrane power density. First, we present a reversible thermodynamic model for RED and verify that the theoretical maximum extractab...
متن کاملEnergy-Efficient Control of Evaporative Cooling Towers for Small Steam Power Plants
Forced draft evaporative cooling towers are often used for condenser cooling in small steam power plants. Conventional control strategies keep the cooling pump operating at full speed all the time, and control the cooling water temperature by modulating the tower fan speed. In this work, an energy-efficient control strategy is proposed, that minimizes the combined consumption of the tower fans ...
