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...

As a result of their unique heat recovery properties, Humidified Gas Turbine (HGT) cycles have the potential to deliver resource-effective energy to society. The Evaporative Gas Turbine (EvGT) Consortium in Sweden has been studying these types of cycles for nearly a decade, but now stands at a crossroads, with commercial demonstration remaining. This thesis binds together several key elements f...

The possibility of producing electrical power in Algeria from low geothermal and solar heat resources is addressed using a hybrid generation hypothetical system based on combined flash-binary cycle with equal contributions energy. To improve their efficiency, energy integration techniques were used to recover waste the steam turbine by preheating working fluid R134a bottoming binary, which repr...

The moist-air entropy can be used to analyze and better understand the general circulation of the atmosphere or convective motions. Isentropic analyses are commonly based on studies of different equivalent potential temperatures, all of which are assumed to fully represent the entropy of moist air. It is, however, possible to rely on statistical physics or the third law of thermodynamics when d...

conceptual design of a waste heat recovery cycle is carried out in attempt to enhance the thermal efficiency of a steam power plant. in the recovery system, super-critical an co2 is employed as the working fluid operating in a brayton cycle. low grade heat rejected by the flue gases through the stack is used as the primary heat source, while a secondary heat exchanger utilizes the hot gases lea...

A device using a steam injection funnel is described by means of which air can be driven quickly and surely from an autoclave load. It is simple and inexpensive, necessitates no changes in the working routine of a microbiology laboratory, and does not interfere with the operation of the autoclave in its normal mode.

New technologies are being developed to produce electricity cleaner and more efficient. Promising among these the solid oxide fuel cell supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton cycle. This study investigates potential of integrating both technologies. The is known as a potentially clean highly efficient technology convert chemical energy electricity. high operating temperatures (600–1000 °C) allow ...

Laboratory measurements of the effects of steam injection on the electrical conductivity of sands can aid in the interpretation of electrical surveys used to monitor subsurface steam-injection projects. The effect of variations in injected steam quality was measured in the experiments presented here. The injection of low-quality steam, boiled from a 0.01 mol/L NaCl solution, into clean sand sat...

Steam-water flow exists in most geothermal reservoirs where steam-water capillary pressure plays an important role in controlling fluid distribution, transfer of liquid between fracture and matrix, well productivity, and even the reserves. However, it is very difficult to measure steam-water capillary pressure due to the phase transformation and the significant mass transfer between the two pha...
