biomass co-firing with lignite represents an attractive solution for operating lignite-fired thermalpower plants (tpp) with the dual advantage of using local renewable resources and simultaneously reducingemissions. the subject of this study is technical and environmental investigation of the feasibility of the cofiring of soma lignite with some dried agricultural residues in the soma thermal p...

NOx emission characteristics and overall heat loss model for a 300MW coal-fired boiler were established by Back Propagation (BP) neural network, by which the the functional relationship between outputs (NOx emissions & overall heat loss of the boiler) and inputs (operational parameters of the boiler) of a coal-fired boiler can be predicted. A number of field test data from a full-scale operatin...

OBJECTIVE Alkali metal appears to be a promising tool in thermochemical ablation, but, it requires additional data on safety is required. The objective of this study was to explore the effectiveness of permeable oil-packed liquid alkali metal in the thermochemical ablation of tumors. METHODS Permeable oil-packed sodium-potassium (NaK) was prepared using ultrasonic mixing of different ratios o...

The breakdown property of oil-impregnated paper is a key factor for converter transformer design and operation, but it is not well understood. In this paper, breakdown voltages of oil-impregnated paper were measured at different temperatures. The results showed that with the increase of temperature, electrical, electro-thermal and thermal breakdown occurred successively. An electro-thermal brea...

The availability of biomass in India is about 120150 million MT per annum corresponding to potential of 16,000 MW. Multifuel fired biomass boiler design will enable latest technology up gradation in biomass and will have many advantages. This paper deals with technology analysis and multifuel fired biomass boiler design. Keywords-Biomass, Multi-fuel, biofuels, boiler, design

A superheater is an essential part of the steam generation process in the boiler-turbine system. Reliable control of temperature in the superheated steam temperature system is necessary to guarantee efficiency and high load-following capability in the operation of coal-fired Thermal power plant. The PI and PID controllers are extensively used in cascade control of secondary superheated steam te...
