Suitability of Indian Coal For Coal-Fired MHD Generators
نویسنده
چکیده
The electrical conductivity of seeded (with potassium) combustion products of six varieties of Indian coal with enriched air have been analytically evaluated to investigate the feasibility of using them as working fuels for coal-tired MHD generators. The analysis takes into account the effect of sulphur and ash on the conductivity of combustion products.

Radioactivity level of soil around a coal-fired thermal power plant of northwest China
Background: The activity concentrations of natural radionuclides in soil around a coal-fired thermal power plant of northwest China were investigated for assessing the radioactivity level. Materials and Methods: Soil samples were collected around the coal-fired thermal power plant and their radioactivity levels were determined using gamma ray spectrometry. Radiation hazards were assessed by rad...
متن کاملImprovement 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 کاملQuantification of radionuclides and associated radiological risk estimation of coal combustion residues from a South African coal-fired power plant
Background: Radionuclides occur in coal combustion residues, such as fly ash and bottom ash, which are by-products of coal combustion. They pose potential radiological risks to people present in the surrounding areas. Materials and Methods: Gamma spectrometry was performed to determine the radionuclide activity concentrations in a coal-driven power plant located in the Limpopo province, South A...
متن کاملAlkali Leaching of Indian Coal for Ash Reduction
Coal is a major source of energy. The available Indian coal quality is very poor having very high ash content and low calorific value. Indian coal generates a large quantity of ash as a by-product of combustion. The objectives of the present study were to reduce the ash content of coal to produce ultra-clean coal. The coal was treated wi...
متن کاملModeling of Gas-Particle-Flow and Heat Radiation in Steam Power Plants
Fired steam generators are the dominating technology of coal combustion in power plants. This paper presents a model for pulverized coal fired steam generators in Modelica. The model components are designed as an extension of SiemensPower, a Modelica library for transient simulation of power plants. The focus is on coal combustion, gas-particle-flow and radiation heat transfer in the furnace. T...
