Steam-water capillary pressure is of central importance in geothermal reservoir engineering, however it is still poorly known due to the difficulty making direct measurements. To this end, we have conducted experimental and theoretical studies over the past five years and have made significant progress in understanding fundamental steamwater flow. In this paper, we summarize and discuss the res...

Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) integrates two cyclesBrayton cycle (Gas Turbine) and Rankine cycle (Steam Turbine) with the objective of increasing overall plant efficiency. In modern gas turbine the temperature of the exhaust gases is in the range of 500 oC to 550 oC. Modern steam power plants have steam temperature in the range of 500 oC to 630 oC. Hence gas turbine exhaust can be utilized ...

This paper examines the hypothesis that there is a single economic market for the international steam coal industry and investigates the degree of steam coal market integration over time. The long-run relations between international steam coal prices are tested through cointegration analysis and the Kalman Filter analysis is employed to examine the convergence path of the price series. A regres...

One of the actual problems of safe and reliable operation of NPP units with pressurized reactors is the development of tube plugging criterion for steam generator tubing. The basis for plugging criterion development is associated with existence of flaws with critical sizes at steam generator tubes. For effective application of this criterion the conditions of flaw instability should be analyzed...

Poor control of the nuclear steam generator (SG) water level of pressurized Water Reactor can lead to frequent reactor shutdowns. In addition, the steam generator is a highly complex, nonlinear and time-varying system and its parameters vary with operating conditions. The dynamics of a nuclear steam generator is very different according to the power levels and changes as time goes on. Therefore...

In this study, a new technical process for hardening wood fiber insulation boards is introduced. During the dry-process, the fibers are usually glued with polymeric-diphenylmethane-diisocyanate (pMDI) and hardened to wood fiber insulation boards using a steam-air mixture. However, the maximum temperature reached in the steam-air process was 100 °C, and it was impossible to use an alternative bi...

Optimal operation of site utility systems is becoming an increasingly important part of any successful business strategy as environmental, legislative and commercial pressures grow. A reliable steam model allows a clear understanding of the system and of any operational constraints. It can also be used to determine the true cost of improvement projects, relating any changes in steam demand back...

Six potentially important wood adhesives for gluing southern pine and white oak flakeboards were evaluated for their perfonnances in steam-injection pressing and conventional platen pressing. Of the six resins tested, polyisocyanate resin perfonned well in both steam injection and conventional platen pressings. Phenol-fonnaldehyde (PF) and melamine urea-fonnaldehyde (MUF) resins perfonned poorl...
