چکیده

Due to the serious power shortage in Taiwan, many simple cycle gas turbine generation sets (GENSETs) that were originally designated to serve as peak load units are forced to operate continuously during the entire summer season. The retrofitting projects have been seriously considered to convert these GENSETs (which have the advantage of fast startup, but suffer from low power output and thermal efficiency at high ambient temperature) into more advanced cycle units with higher efficiency and higher output. Among many proven technologies, such as inlet air cooling, intercooling, regeneration, reheating and steaminjection gas turbine (STIG) etc., STIG is found to be one of the most effective in boosting both the output capacity and thermal efficiency. The results from computer simulation indicated that the retrofitting of existing GE Frame 6B simple cycle unit into STIG cycle can boost the output from about 38 to 50 MW, while the generation efficiency can be increased from about 30% to 40%. Besides, the power output of STIG cycle is less sensitive to ambient temperature than that of simple cycle. NOx reduction to less then 25 ppm (when LNG is used) and operating flexibility under variable heat demand could be achieved. 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

The performance of two evaporatively cooled heat exchangers is investigated under similar operating conditions of air flow rates and inlet hot water temperatures. The heat exchangers are plain and plate-finned circular tube types which occupy the same volume. Spray water, which is circulated in a closed circuit, is injected onto the exposed surfaces of the tubes and fins. The contact between ai...

Saturated models of universal theories

A notion called Herbrand saturation is shown to provide the modeltheoretic analogue of a proof-theoretic method, Herbrand analysis, yielding uniform model-theoretic proofs of a number of important conservation theorems. A constructive, algebraic variation of the method is described, providing yet a third approach, which is finitary but retains the semantic flavor of the model-theoretic version.

Linear-time connected-component labeling based on sequential local operations

This paper presents a fast algorithm for labeling connected components in binary images based on sequential local operations. A one-dimensional table, which memorizes label equivalences, is used for uniting equivalent labels successively during the operations in forward and backward raster directions. The proposed algorithm has a desirable characteristic: the execution time is directly proporti...

Debonding of films attached to substrates as well as fibers embedded in matrices typically involves initiation, steady-state propagation and a final transient as the debond converges on an edge or another debond. The emphasis in this paper is on the mechanics of the transient. Under most circumstances, a converging debond crack is characterized by an energy release rate that approaches zero, ca...

To determine flow curves of a material, whose plastic deformation is produced by martensitic transformation, transformation strains of a martensite plate must be characterized [1–3]. Most studies along this line adopt results obtained by the phenomenological crystallographic theory of martensitic transformation [4,5]. The theory is based on finite deformation analysis, which needs involved comp...
