For multiservice loss networks the calculation of the normalization constant is computationally impossible for realistic sized problems. This paper deals with two methods for simulating the loss probabilities in multiservice loss networks. The regenerative method is based on the regenerative nature of the process and the simulation is carried out by simulating the DTMC of the process. The secon...

Like many developed countries, energy efficiency and environment impact are the most important process in the development of power generation policy in India. A high ambient temperature reduces the air density and makes inlet air cooling (IAC) and steam injection gas turbine (STIG) attractive power augmentation method for existing regenerative gas turbine. With a high back work ratio and a high...

Wrought and additively manufactured (AM) 316 L stainless steel samples were exposed to a simulated Brayton cycle supercritical CO2 (sCO2) environment, at temperature of 450 °C pressure 76 bar in 99.999% for 2 weeks. The ground surfaces wrought AM specimens had average oxide thickness 95 51 µm, respectively, composed primarily Fe Cr oxides. An as-printed sample was also the sCO2 environment exhi...

A modular DCLL blanket is selected as the reference concept in the ARIES-CS power plant study. This concept is characterized by the following features: 1. Eutectic lead lithium alloy Pb-17Li serving as breeder and coolant (“self-cooled breeding zone”); 2. Helium-cooled FW and blanket structure made of the MF82H Reduced Activation Ferritic Steel (RAFS); 3. Flow channel inserts (FCI) made of SiCc...

Abstract A thermodynamic analysis of a hybrid gas turbine solar plant, represented in three basic subsystems related to the power cycle, combustion chamber subsystem, and concentrator allows evaluating performance cycle from reduced number parameters, which include energy losses each its components. The radiation values are estimated with an evaluated validated theoretical model, uses natural a...
