Computational simulation of steam flow and heat transfer in power plant condensers on the basis of the threedimensional mathematical model for the flow through porous media is presented. In order to solve the mathematical model of steam flow and heat transfer in power plant condensers, the Streamline Upwind Petrov-Galerkin finite element method is applied. By comparison of the results of simula...

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...

The paper presents an analysis of relations describing entropy generation in a condenser of a steam unit. Connections between entropy generation, condenser ratio, and heat exchanger effectiveness, as well as relations implied by them are shown. Theoretical considerations allowed to determine limits of individual parameters which describe the condenser operation. Various relations for average te...

A thermal power station is a power plant in which the prime mover is steam driven. Water is heated, turns into steam and spins a steam turbine which drives an electrical generator. After it passes through the turbine, the steam is condensed in a condenser and recycled to where it was heated; this is known as a Rankine cycle. The greatest variation in the design of thermal power stations is due ...

A model reference adaptive control of condenser and deaerator of steam power plant is presented. A fuzzy-neural identification is constructed as an integral part of the fuzzy-neural controller. Both forward and inverse identification is presented. In the controller implementation, the indirect controller with propagating the error through the fuzzy-neural identifier based on Back Propagating Th...

This report (NUREG/CR-6427) addresses the Direct Containment Heating (DCH) issue for all Westinghouse plants with ice condenser containments. There are ten operating ice condenser plants located at five sites in the U.S. DCH phenomena in ice condenser plants are different in some important aspects from DCH phenomena in other Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs) in that they have ice beds to suppre...
