Abstract: In a normal operation of the coal fired power plant, critical regimes exist where the particles cannot be ignited either in the gas mode or in the heterogeneous mode due to excessive heat ...

Abstract: The essential design parameters for determining the optimum configuration of an air-cooled condenser are identified in this paper. For a power plant operating on a Rankine cycle, expressions for ...

Abstract: Manure from cattle feedlots is a renewable energy source which has the potential of supplementing the existing fossil fuels. But the heat content of manure is rather low. Since, the fluidized ...

Abstract: The storage process for a static-water ice-on-coil cool thermal storage system is difficult to model analytically, based on the dynamic behavior of ice production. Systems that utilize a ...

Abstract: An existing coal-water slurry fueled diesel engine cycle simulation was modified to include particle-to-particle and droplet-to-droplet interactions during the combustion and vaporization processes. ...
