this paper aims at studying a trigeneration system, based on an internal combustion engine and a steam ejector refrigeration system. the designed cycle is to generate cooling and heating energies, and supply power simultaneously. the cycle is studied from thermodynamics point of view and for this purpose, the first law of thermodynamics is applied to all components of the cycle. the efficiency ...

After a presentation of the functionality of steam turbines of thermal power plants, we present the method of enthalpy difference used for the calculation of the steam turbine efficiency. This is why we present a stratification survey by circuit, by equipment and by organ. The objective is to determine the possible reasons for the deterioration of the heat rate of a thermal power plant at the l...

BACKGROUND Fundamental in traditional postpartum recovery in Lao PDR is the use of hotbeds, mother roasting, steam sauna and steam baths. During these treatments medicinal plants play a crucial role, but little has been published about how the treatments are carried out precisely, which species are used, the medicinal properties of these species, and the medicinal efficacy of their chemical con...

working regime of power plant cooling system, i.e. optimal pressure in condenser in function of power plant working regime is presented. This method is based on the estimation of working characteristic of the cooling system in global. The working characteristic of the cooling system is formed on the base of characteristics of the elements that make cooling system. The procedure and principal sc...

An updraft tower cooling system is assessed for elimination of water use associated with power plant heat rejection. Heat rejected from the power plant condenser is used to warm the air at the base of an updraft tower; buoyancy-driven air flows through a recuperative turbine inside the tower. The secondary loop, which couples the power plant condenser to a heat exchanger at the tower base, can ...

production of electricity for promotion of people’s welfares is inevitable.there are about 54000 mw of various power plants in iran. the type of power plants includes gas, steam, combined, hydro and a very minute amount of wind mills. the per capita electricity production is about 2200 kwh. power plants can impose adverse environmental impacts during construction and utilization phases. envir...

The importance of considering the water price in analysis impact dry versus hybrid condensing systems thermo economical performance solar tower plants was demonstrated this work. system consists several induced-draft air-cooled condenser cells (ACCs) and a parallel where steam is split between ACCs surface circulating cooled wet mechanical-draft cooling tower. influence operating parameters eit...

Optimization of the whole plant instead of important individual units is essential for maximizing savings and operational efficiency. Often, there are conflicting objectives for optimizing industrial processes. Many previous studies on multi-objective optimization involved a few critical units (and not complete plants) using models and simulation programs specifically developed for the respecti...

Abstract—In the current study, energy and exergy analysis of a 65 MW steam power plant was carried out. This study investigated the effect of variations of overall conductance of the super heater on the performance of an existing steam power plant located in Derna, Libya. The performance of the power plant was estimated by a mathematical modelling which considers the off-design operating condit...
