Abstract:

The present paper deals with development of a simulation model for the performance evaluation of feed water system of a thermal power plant using Markov Birth-Death process and probabilistic approach. In present paper, the feed water system consists of four subsystems. After drawing transition diagram for feed water system, differential equations are developed and then solved recursively using probabilistic approach. Then to predict the steady state availability i.e. measure of performance of feed water system, normalizing conditions are used. Thus availability simulation model has been developed. After that, the availability matrix and plots of failure/repair rates of all subsystems are prepared to decide the availability trends. Based upon various availability values in the availability matrix, performance of feed water system has been evaluated. Further the optimum values of failure/repair rates for maximum system availability have also been determined. The finding of this paper might be helpful to the plant management for futuristic maintenance decisions.

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
