Development of a performance-based high pressure feed water heater model for Flownex SE
Feed-water heaters (FWHs) are an integral part of the power plant with respect to the overall heat recovery, and thus its efficiency. While the main purpose of the FWHs is to heat up the feed-water before being sent to the boiler, there are more added advantages owing to the installation of this …

Design analysis of a drilled geothermal well
… from the earth's crust by the circulation of water through a single well. The design took into consideration means of insulating and supporting the inner pipe, thermal expansion, the large hydrostatic pressures involved, and a feasible means of installing the ten mile pipe. A thermodynamic …

The development of a test rig to determine fouling factors of feedwater heaters
Feed water heaters are large shell and tube heat exchangers. They from part of the Rankine cycle used in coal fired power plants with the main purpose being the improvement of the overall cycle efficiency. Like most heat exchangers, feed water heaters suffer from fouling. Fouling is defined as “any …

Advanced analytics for process analysis of turbine plant and components
… means of modelling the performance of a train of feed water heaters in a steam cycle power plant, using machine learning. The goal of this study was to use a simple artificial neural network (ANN) to predict the behaviour of the plant system, specifically the inlet bled steam (BS) mass flow rate …
