the aim of this study is to find the optimal water pressure and percentage of supply vapour in the feed water heaters (fwhs) of steam power plants, such that they maximize the thermal efficiency of the rankine cycle within pre-specified values of minimum and maximum pressures of the thermodynamic cycle. thermal efficiency is defined as a function of unknown variables (fluid pressure and vapour ...

nowadays, energy plays an important role in the economic and community development of country. consequently, performance analysis of energy systems is one of the effective methods being used to prevent waste of energy resources. among the different power generation technologies, steam power plants make a significant contribution to power generation in iran, with a share of 47 % of electricity g...

although the indian population is largely vegetarian, not much attention has been given to the cultivation of vegetables, as compared to other crops like cereals, pulses and oil seeds. therefore, the present study was conducted on two leafy vegetables, spinach (spanacia oleracea l.) and methi (trigonella foenum graecum l.) commonly grown in aligarh, as the two popular vegetables of indian diet....

with regard to the importance of scientific decision-making in power plants prioritization to produce electrical energy (power) from renewable energies (purified), in this paper, research with specialists opinions with respond to questionnaires provided upon three efficient operational criterion in position of three presented power plant in country which used wind, solar water energies for prod...

production of electricity for promotion of people’s welfares is inevitable.there are about 54000 mw of various power plants in iran. the type of power plants includes gas, steam, combined, hydro and a very minute amount of wind mills. the per capita electricity production is about 2200 kwh. power plants can impose adverse environmental impacts during construction and utilization phases. envir...

most of electricity is generated by thermal power plants in iran. shahid rajaee thermal power plant consists of four 250mw natural gas and fuel oil burning units that is located at 100 km west off tehran. as a result of fuel oil burning in winter time, boilers air heaters are washed and cleaned frequently. the wastewater originating from air heater washing contains suspended solids and differen...

This paper proposes an approach for improving the plant efficiency by reducing the heat rejection temperature of power cycle using Kalina Cycle System 11 (KCS11) which is integrated at the steam condenser of a 500 MWe SubC (subcritical) coal-fired power plant. It is modelled by using power plant simulation software ‘Cycle Tempo’ at different plant operating conditions. Results show t...
