the aim of this study is to find the optimal water pressure and percentage of supply vapour in the feed water heaters (fwhs) of steam power plants, such that they maximize the thermal efficiency of the rankine cycle within pre-specified values of minimum and maximum pressures of the thermodynamic cycle. thermal efficiency is defined as a function of unknown variables (fluid pressure and vapour ...

nowadays, energy plays an important role in the economic and community development of country. consequently, performance analysis of energy systems is one of the effective methods being used to prevent waste of energy resources. among the different power generation technologies, steam power plants make a significant contribution to power generation in iran, with a share of 47 % of electricity g...

although the indian population is largely vegetarian, not much attention has been given to the cultivation of vegetables, as compared to other crops like cereals, pulses and oil seeds. therefore, the present study was conducted on two leafy vegetables, spinach (spanacia oleracea l.) and methi (trigonella foenum graecum l.) commonly grown in aligarh, as the two popular vegetables of indian diet....

with regard to the importance of scientific decision-making in power plants prioritization to produce electrical energy (power) from renewable energies (purified), in this paper, research with specialists opinions with respond to questionnaires provided upon three efficient operational criterion in position of three presented power plant in country which used wind, solar water energies for prod...

it the first U.S. purchase by a utility of low-carbon power from a commercial-scale, coal-based power plant with carbon capture. The 400-MW TCEP plant is a first-of-its-kind integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) poly-generation facility capable of capturing 90 percent of the carbon dioxide (CO 2) it produces. The $2.4-billion plant was a third round selection under DOE's Clean Coal Powe...

Project developer in the domain of land settlement project are involved with many stakeholders and are usually overflown by data relative to technical, economic and social issues. This paper contributes to the necessary multi-scale approach challenge and we propose a holistic framework that enables to describe the development process of land settlement project and assess its sustainability. Itw...

The Chariton Valley Biomass Power Project, sponsored by the U. S. Department of Energy Biomass Power Program, has the goal of converting switchgrass grown on marginal farmland in southern Iowa into electric power. Two energy conversion options are under evaluation: co-firing switchgrass with coal in an existing utility boiler and gasification of switchgrass for use in a carbonate fuel cell. Thi...
