Biomass based Indirectly Heated combined heat and power plant can be an excellent option for community scale power generation. The thermal performance of such a plant employing air-turbo generator block and bottoming steam turbine block has been analyzed over a range of pressure ratio (2-16) and for different turbine inlet air temperatures (1073, 1273 and 1373K). The conventional GT combustion ...

In this study, the energy and exergy analysis of Garri 4 power plant in Sudan is presented. The primary objective paper to identify major source irreversibilities cycle. equipment has been analyzed individually. Values regarding heat loss destruction have presented for each equipment. results confirmed that condenser was main (about 67%), while ex­ergy revealed boiler contributed largest percen...

Many thermal solar power plants use thermal oil as heat transfer fluid, and molten salts as thermal energy storage. Oil absorbs energy from sun light, and transfers it to a water-steam cycle across heat exchangers, to be converted into electric energy by means of a turbogenerator, or to be stored in a thermal energy storage system so that it can be later transferred to the water-steam cycle. Th...

Hydrogen is getting increasing attention by government and industry leaders, [1], as a very environmentally attractive and clean fuel because its oxidation leads only to water formation. There is abundance of hydrogen in nature, although it is only available for exploitation in a combined state, either in water, hydrocarbons, or coal [2]. Its recovery from these natural resources requires the a...
