Investigation and com...

Abstract: The paper presents the research results related to control of the steam boiler parameters: drum level, furnace pressure and steam pressure. It was developed the mathematical model of the water-steam system and furnace part of the boiler. Also, the paper presents the algorithm for real time detection of model parameter variations. In this context a correction method, validate through s...

The results of an investigation evaluating the feasibility of using optical measurements for the real-time monitoring of fluid properties in geothermal process streams is described. The measurements exploit new technologies that have been developed for the telecommunications industry and include new solid state laser devices, large-bandwidth, high-sensitivity detectors and low loss optical fibe...

An experimental method was developed to measure both steam-water and air-water capillary pressures using an X-ray CT technique. We conducted spontaneous water imbibition and gravity drainage in ceramic core samples for steam-water and air-water systems respectively. The results were compared, and it was found that the steam-water capillary pressures were significantly less than the airwater cap...

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...

in this research, water and steam absorption behavior and also effect of maleic anhydride polypropylene (mapp) on these behaviors in wood fiber-polypropylene composite were compared. for this purpose, the composites were manufactured from 60% fibers and 40% polypropylene in presence and absence of ma. the oven dried samples with dimensions of 2.5×2.5×1 cm were immersed in distilled water and ex...

In this work, char gasification of two coals (i.e., Shenfu bituminous coal and Zunyi anthracite) and a petroleum coke under a steam and CO2 mixture (steam/CO2 partial pressures, 0.025–0.075 MPa; total pressures, 0.100 MPa) and CO2/steam chemisorption of char samples were conducted in a Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA). Two conventional kinetic models exhibited difficulties in exactly fitting th...

This paper presents steam temperature models for steam distillation pilot-scale (SDPS) by comparing Pseudo Random Binary Sequence (PRBS) versus Multi-Sine (M-Sine) perturbation signal Both perturbation signals were applied to nonlinear steam distillation system to study the capability of these input signals in exciting nonlinearity of system dynamics. In this work, both linear and nonlinear ARX...

Based on the shear stress transfer (SST) k-ω model, Ffowcs-Williams and Hawkings (FW–H) equation, Lilley sound source flow field of high-temperature high-pressure steam ejectors are simulated. The entrainment performance, near-field source, far-field noise ejector discussed. influences working parameters including primary pressure, secondary back pressure analyzed. results show that under desig...

The most common wood species in Sweden, and one of the most important renewable raw materials in Northern Europe, is Norway spruce (Picea abies). Today, it is utilized mainly for sawed timber and the production of pulp and paper. A modern kraft pulp mill that produces bleached pulp has a material efficiency of about 40-45%, and the final product contains mainly cellulose. The other components o...
