Abstract: The purpose of this study is to propose a dynamic heat transfer model for predicting transient heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) behaviors involving phase changes in heat exchanger tubes. The model deals with any ...

Abstract: In the fast start-up for combined cycle power plants (CCPP), the thermal stresses of the steam turbine rotor are generally controlled by the steam temperatures or flow rates by using gas turbines (GTs), steam turbines, and ...

Abstract: Requirements for the start-up operations of gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) power plants have become more diverse and now include such items as reduced start-up time, life consumption, and fuel gas consumption. In this ...
