While the issue on Direct Containment Heating (DCH) was resolved for US reactor plants in the 1990s it was found that the consequences of DCH processes are strongly dependent on the reactor cavity configuration. Therefore, an experimental and analytical program was started in 1998 to investigate melt ejection scenarios for typical German and European reactor designs. Six experiments have been p...

The gas-steam turbine combined cycle (GTCC) is the preferred power plant type because of its high efficiency and its use of cheap and clean natural gas as fuel. It is also the preferred type in the Arab Gulf countries where it is used as cogeneration power-desalting plant (CPDP). In this chapter, descriptions and analysis of the GTCC components are presented, namely, the gas turbine cycle (comp...

Due to the importance of energy consumption in a steam network of oil refinery as a significant unit, present study is concerned with the optimization of an oil refinery steam network. Here, the attempt was made to use concepts such as first and second thermodynamic laws, thermo-economic, environmental and economic discussions to investigate three different scenarios about Tehran refinery steam...

The temperature of exhaust gases from simple cycle gas turbine generation sets (GENSETs) is usually very high (around 500 C), and a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) is often used to recover the energy from the exhaust gases and generate steam. The generated steams can be either used for many useful processes (heating, drying, separation etc.) or used back in the power generation system for ...

Steam generator (SG) tubing in nuclear plant offers a barrier between the radioactive material and steam. Effective NDT of the SG tubing is mandatory to ensure the safe operation of nuclear power plants. Multi-frequency eddy current (EC) NDT is being exercised in the nuclear industry. Detection and subsequent crack profiling from the acquired EC signals is a challenging task once dealt with sub...

PT. Kurnia Batang Hari is a palm oil processing factory into oil. At PT KBHB there tool called “Steam Turbine Generator Type RB5” which functions as power generator. This study aims to determine the effect of load on mass flow rate, turbine generator power, and efficiency steam The research method take boiler data directly for 1 week. Get enthalpy value from table can calculate based objective....
