Towards Enhancement of the Economy of a Thermal Power Generating System through Prediction of Plant Efficiency

The plant ‘Heat Rate’ (HR) is a measure of overall efficiency of a thermal power generating system. It depends on a large number of factors, some of which are non-measurable, while data relating to others are seldom available and recorded. However, coal quality (expressed in terms of ‘effective heat value’ (EHV) as kcal/kg) transpires to be one of the important factors that influences HR values and data on EHV are available in any thermal power generating system. In the present work, we propose a prediction interval of the HR values on the basis of only EHV, keeping in mind that coal quality is one of the important (but not the only) factors that have a pronounced effect on the combustion process and hence on HR. The underlying theory borrows the idea of providing simultaneous confidence interval (SCI) to the coefficients of a p-th p(≥1) order autoregressive model (AR(p)). The theory has been substantiated with the help of real life data from a power utility (after suitable base and scale transformation of the data to maintain the confidentiality of the classified document). Scope for formulating strategies to enhance the economy of a thermal power generating system has also been explored.

A Two-dimensional Heat Transfer Model for Atmosphere-land System in the Lake-dominated Alaskan Arctic

1 Introduction Shallow tundra lakes are one of the dominating landscape features in the Alaskan Arctic. They typically cover 20% of the total area of the North Slope of Alaska, and up to about 40% in the coastal plain [1,2]. Many lakes are, in their entirety or in part, shallower than the maximum annual ice thickness, consequently, some ice freezes completely to the lake bottom, nevertheless, large areas of water are deeper than the maximum ice thickness and the ice remains afloat througho…

The 2003 Heat Wave in France: Dangerous Climate Change Here and Now

In an analysis of the French episode of heat wave in 2003, this article highlights how heat wave dangers result from the intricate association of natural and social factors. Unusually high temperatures, as well as socioeconomic vulnerability, along with social attenuation of hazards, in a general context where the anthropogenic contribution to climate change is becoming more plausible, led to an excess of 14,947 deaths in France, between August 4 and 18, 2003. The greatest increase in mortality was due to causes directly attributable to heat: dehydration, hyperthermia, heat stroke. In addition to age and gender, combinatorial factors included preexisting disease, medication, urban residence, isolation, poverty, and, probably, air pollution. Although diversely impacted or reported, many parts of Europe suffered human and other losses, such as farming and forestry through drought and fires. Summer 2003 was the hottest in Europe since 1500, very likely due in part to anthropogenic climate change. The French experience confirms research establishing that heat waves are a major mortal risk, number one among so-called natural hazards in postindustrial societies. Yet France had no policy in place, as if dangerous climate were restricted to a distant or uncertain future of climate change, or to preindustrial countries. We analyze the heat wave's profile as a strongly attenuated risk in the French context, as well as the causes and the effects of its sudden shift into amplification. Research and preparedness needs are highlighted.     

输送黏性介质时叶轮出口角对泵性能的影响

为了研究离心泵在输送黏性介质时,叶轮出口角对泵性能的影响,采用FLUENT软件,对2种不同叶轮出口角的 离心泵,分别在清水和5种不同黏性的油性介质下,进行数值模拟分析,预测离心泵在各工况下的水力性能。结果表明： 输送介质为清水时,增大出口角能提高扬程但会降低水力效率;介质运动黏度介于10. 80~ 65. 00 mm2／s时,增加叶轮出 口角能同时提高扬程和效率;介质运动黏度≥65. 00 1111112/S时,增加出口角不能改善其水力性能。文章研究结果能改善 离心泵的水力设计方法,确保泵的高效运行。     

双螺杆泵Ω形对称型螺杆流场数值分析

由于螺杆泵几何结构及流体流动状态较为复杂,其压力分布和速度等特性很难用数学解析法来分析计算。本文利用参数化设计模块建立双螺杆泵Q形对称型螺杆三维模型,构建双螺杆流道的流场分析模型,运用有限元分析方法得出了双螺杆泵流道内压力场和速度场分布规律。结果表明：流体在流道中的流速分布具有规律性,整个流道的流场速度高低交替变化,在螺杆与衬套间隙处的流动为层流,螺旋面接触区内的流动为复杂的湍流,离螺杆啮合区近的螺旋槽内易发生涡流。本研究结果对于了解双螺杆泵螺杆工况下的性能情况具有重要的参考价值。     

水权范畴研究

建立水权制度的目的是促进水权交易,即定"源"以促"流",因而水权理论建构应遵循的原则是:凡不能或不宜流通的权利均不应纳入水权范畴。水权即取水权,是主体从国家所有的水资源中分离一定量之水并取得其所有权的权利。水权不应包括水资源所有权、水资源经营权、水所有权、水环境权。
