Materials Properties Characterization in Fossil-Fuel Power Plants

MRS Proceedings, 1988
AbstractSignificant changes in microstructure occur in many fossil plant components that operate for long times at elevated temperatures. Some examples include hydrogen damage in steam-generating boiler tubes, carbide coarsening in superheater tubes, creep cavitation in the heat-affected zones of thick-section weldments, and temper embrittlement in ...

Compact simulators for fossil-fueled power plants

IEEE Spectrum, 1995
The author describes how, in fossil fuel power plants around the world, a new breed of plant simulators is winning a following. These "compact simulators" are based on personal computer and workstation hardware and can model a plant's operations accurately and in real-time. They are both adaptable and mobile.

Assessment Of Impacts Of A Fossil Fuel Based Power Plant

International Journal of Environmental Studies, 2003
Prediction of air pollution impacts of a proposed fossil fuel-based power plant has been made using meteorological data, information on stack characteristics and emission rate, baseline air quality and validated model condition. It is observed that under normal operation, the emission rate of SO 2 and NO 2 is significant, while under a worst case ...

Boiler Implosion Control in Fossil Fuel Power Plants

Journal of Dynamic Systems, Measurement, and Control, 1985
An evaluation of systems for control of fossil fuel power plant boiler and stack implosions has been performed using computer simulation techniques described in a companion paper. The simulations have shown that forced and induced draft fan control systems and induced draft fan bypass systems reduce the furnace pressure excursions significantly ...

Exergy Analysis of Modern Fossil-Fuel Power Plants

Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power, 1999
The definition of open cycle rational efficiency is unequivocally based on the ratio of the actual shaft work output from a power plant to the maximum work that could be obtained in a reversible process between prescribed inlet and outlet states. However, different constraints may be applied to such an ideal reversible process, and the maximum work ...

Optimized evaluation of aging fossil-fueled power plants

Utilities Policy, 1992
Abstract The continued use of aging fossil-fueled power plants presents a number of unique challenges to utilities worldwide. To confront these challenges has required the simultaneous development of engineering methods and of strategic and planning approaches.

Chromosome aberrations in employees from fossil-fueled and nuclear-power plants

Mutation Research/Genetic Toxicology, 1984
Chromosome aberrations were scored in 59 persons from fossil-fueled plants, in 89 persons from nuclear-power plants and in 23 controls. A significant increase in acentric chromosome fragments and dicentric chromosomes compared to the control group was observed in both types of workers. Moreover, the number of abnormal cells was significantly greater in

CO2 Capture Methods in Fossil Fuel Power Plants

2022
Europe assumed to become the first climate neutral continent but, due to the political situation on the eastern border, the security of the energy supply is threatened and it is possible that the existing coal installations will be used for more than originally expected.

Dynamic Analysis of the Air Gas Path of Fossil Fuel Power Plants

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1984
Abstract In this work a dynamic analysis for the air-gas path of a balanced draft boiler is presented. As is well known, in this part of the plant large and rapid pressure variations can arise in particular situations (for instance in case of fuel trip) which can cause damage to mechanical structures.
