The Efficiency Improvement by Combining HHO Gas, Coal and Oil in Boiler for Electricity Generation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electricity is an essential energy that can benefit our daily lives. There are many sources available for electricity generation, such as coal, natural gas and nuclear. Among these sources, coal has been widely used in thermal power plants that account for about 41% of the worldwide electricity supply. However, these thermal power plants are also found to be a big pollution source to our environment. There is a need to explore alternative electricity sources and improve the efficiency of electricity generation. This research focuses on improving the efficiency of electricity generation through the use of hydrogen and oxygen mixture (HHO) gas. In this research, experiments have been conducted to investigate the combined effects of HHO gas with other fuels, including coal and oil. The results show that the combinations of HHO with coal and oil can improve the efficiency of electricity generation while reducing the pollution to our environment.

Improvement of Efficiency of Coal-Fired Steam Power Plant by Reducing Heat Rejection Temperature at Condenser Using Kalina Cycle
This paper proposes an approach for improving the plant efficiency by reducing the heat rejection temperature of power cycle using Kalina Cycle System 11 (KCS11) which is integrated at the steam condenser of a 500 MWe SubC (subcritical) coal-fired power plant. It is modelled by using power plant simulation software ‘Cycle Tempo’ at different plant operating conditions. Results show t...

متن کاملFlyash: Characteristics, Problems and Possible Utilization
Flyash is a light coal dust coming out with the gases of coal-fired boilers. The particle size of flyash varies from one sub-micron to several micrometers and mineral admixture, inert material and good Pozzolanic properties [1]. In India, electricity is the main source of power for industries. For enormous reserve of coal in the country, coal-based power generation is the major source of energy...
