Carbon dioxide causes green house effect and has been considered as a pollutant source forsafe environment. Since combustion of fossil fuel may create tremendous amount of carbon dioxide,detecting any pollutant sources would be important to eliminate the origin of pollution sources.Evaluation of smoke dispersion generated by the power plant utilizing fossil fuel is the objective of thispaper. T...

in this study a pseudo comprehensive carbon footprint model for fossil fuel power plants is presented. parameters which their effects are considered in this study include: plant type, fuel type, fuel transmission type, internal consumption of the plant, degradation, site ambient condition, transmission and distribution losses. investigating internal consumption, degradation and site ambient con...

fossil fuel power plant is one of the most important sources of environmental pollution of the vanadium toxic metal. this survey showed that the penicilium austuranium is the best microorganism for biosorption of vanadium isolated from environment of fossil fuel power plant. to determine the optimum ph and most biosorption and accumulation of vanadium by these fungi, power plants wastewater, pa...

-Starting with information from Indian Point 1, a full size nuclear plant with fossil-fuel superheat which was built and operated, this paper examines the effect of superheat on both energy and exergy performance, as well as on the thermoeconomics of such plants. The study finds that adding superheat to the nearly saturated steam generated by water-cooled nuclear reactors increases the amount o...

Past research on the disproportionality of pollution suggests a small subset of a sector's facilities often produces the lion's share of toxic emissions. Here we extend this idea to the world's electricity sectors by calculating national-level disproportionality Gini coefficients for plant-level carbon emissions in 161 nations based on data from 19,941 fossil-fuel burning power plants. We also ...

In the ongoing global efforts to reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emissions, a strong emphasis is placed on improving power plant efficiency. Fossil fuel-fired power plants today supply over 65% of electricity in the world, with coal-fired power plants accounting for about 40% of the total. The efficiency of power generation (amount of fuel to deliver a unit of electricity) varies significantly acr...

many reports that appeared during the last 20 years have shown that atmospheric pollution causes serious damage to human health and to environment. electricity generation from fuel fossil is one of the major sources of pollution and considerable share of this damage. the price of electricity in iran, as in many other countries also, includes only the production of private costs and ignores any ...

Before the 1970 ́s the use of simulators to train the operation personnel of the power plants was not widely diffused. In these times, the operators acquire their skills by working head to head with some experienced operators in the actual plant, so they learned all the knowledge of their mentor, this means, all the virtues and defects of the experienced people. As expected, the trainees also re...
