When I began my power industry career years ago (initially in the chemistry lab of a coal-fired power plant), the criticality of proper chemistry control of steam boilers, cooling water systems, and ...
A Thermodynamics Overview of Cogeneration and Combined Cycle Power vs. Conventional Steam Generation
Economic and other factors have had a large influence on the movement away from coal to other energy sources. One of these influences was the rapid growth of hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) that ...
The fundamental design principles and process for modern steam desuperheating, or the attemperation of superheated steam in the power generation industry, have been evolving since the early 1930s.
Three direct cycle designs [steam indirect cycle, helium direct, supercritical CO2]were selected for further investigation: the basic design with turbine inlet temperature of 550P o PC, an advanced ...
URS recently performed a combined cycle repowering study to determine the feasibility and economics of repowering an existing steam turbine that went into service in the 1950s. The competing option ...
