In order to fully understand what a given boiler needs for treatment, a basic study of its supply water must be done first. Three types of impurities exist in all supplies and can cause a wide range of problems in boilers and kilns. These impurities are suspended solids, dissolved solids, and dissolved gasses. Water picks up the impurities from the ground it contacts and the air through which i...

DCMD presents an opportunity to achieve desalination using low-grade waste heat and highly saline feed waters, where it may be economically competitive with RO, besides providing a very high quality product that could be used for boiler feed water and without the corrosion problems associated with metal based evaporators. Combined with high packing density polymeric heat exchangers, DCMD may al...

Amit Kumar Jain Abstract— Presently the world has enormous advancement in science and technology the topic considered here is just a drop out of an ocean of knowledge. Higher product quality, better reliability, better availability of plants, optimization of cost and efficient working of boilers is the chief concern now a days. Generally the production can be increased by the efficient use of b...

Combustion mechanism of a 300 MW pulverized coal boiler is analyzed and the optimization of the performance of the boiler is carried out. The flow field, temperature field, devolatilization, char combustion and CO generation in the boiler furnace under actual condition is obtained by using Fluent. Three methods to improve the efficiency of boiler combustion are proposed based on the pulverized ...

The present paper describes the energy and exergy analysis of a reheat regenerative vapor power cycle. The plant consists of one boiler feed pump, one supercritical boiler, two steam turbines with a reheater in between, two feed water heaters (one open and one closed) and a condenser. The energy and exergy balance study has been carried-out for each component of the plant. Energy efficiency, ex...
