Analysis of Combined Cycle Power Plant Operational Performances and System OptimizationChen, Jian-Cheng 02 July 2009 (has links)
In considering the global power generation industry, fossil fuel power plants still dominates where LNG presents one of the major clean fuel source. Although Taiwan remains as one of the main importers of LNG in the world, the cold energy was not utilized effectively which only accounts for 8% of total. Especially, the hot and humid local climates
caused the Gas turbines to work under low efficiency which presents significant room for improvement when inlet cooling technology was imposed.
In this research, the inlet cooling process using mechanical chillers, absorption chillers, and LNG cold reclaim technology were simulated using the Thermoflex software in a tpical combined cycle environment. The waste heat from the power plant was further utilized for Sea water desalination purposes under MED process. Simulation result indicated that , in using 2% of the waste heat from the plant, and produce 60 tons per hour of fresh water , at the cost of power output reduction of 1 %.
Further simulation result also validated the economic feasibility which warranted engineering application potentials.

Taiwan is the major country of importing LNG. In this paper discussed LNG cold energy recovery used in cold storage warehouse and other energy conservation systems.
In the cold storage warehouse systems that showed the less temperature of cold storage warehouse the more exergy efficiency and the best exergy efficiency is 30%. Base on thermoeconomic analysis there was the optimal operation temperature at -70¢J.
In the purifier nitrogen system (PNS), the investigation indicated the best efficient operating temperature at -150¢J. But with economic analysis the optimal design temperature of this PNS was -130¢J.
And the last energy conservation system was the running power plane. In this research studied the power planes used LNG cold energy as inlet air-cooling systems. According to the investigation that showed the systems increased power output up to 14.4¢H in the 4.5¢J of inlet air cooling temperature. And these systems also improved the heat rate of power planes about 0.98%.
The conclusions presented that the potentialities of LNG cold energy are huge, and with proper engineering and economic analysis could make these energy conservation systems more feasible.

Thermal process and novel control methods for spin-castingHuan, Z., Jordaan, G.D. January 2006 (has links)
Published Article / The quality of spin casting products and mould life are critically dependent on thermal conditions they undergo. In order to improve the performance of production and to optimise the spin-casting process, characteristics of the thermal process was firstly identified by means of the measurement and simulation. Furthermore the investigation of the developed control methods, including the thermal property substitute method and mixture method of the metal powder, was kept on the effect of air-cooling induced automatically from the spinning of the mould on the thermal process. <br>The air cooling system was developed to optimise the thermal process during casting, utilising a theoretical analysis of the air-flow characteristics in a cooling tube submerged in a silicon mould and the characteristics of convection heat transfer associated with the mould and cast part. A numerical simulation of the casting process was also adopted in the analysis. The effect of the developed system on the thermal process was determined experimentally and it was found that a system of aircooling, automatically induced from the spinning of the mould, is feasible in optimisation of the thermal process. <br>The developed control methods can be applied to the practice of spin casting individually or collectively according to the specific situations and requirements.

A Thermal Feasibility Study and Design of an Air-cooled Rectangular Wide Band Gap InverterFaulkner, Jacob Christopher 01 May 2011 (has links)
All power electronics consist of solid state devices that generate heat. Managing the temperature of these devices is critical to their performance and reliability. Traditional methods involving liquid-cooling systems are expensive and require additional equipment for operation. Air-cooling systems are less expensive but are typically less effective at cooling the electronic devices. The cooling system that is used depends on the specific application.
Until recently, silicon based devices have been used for the solid-state devices in power electronics. Newly developed silicon-carbide based wide band gap devices operate at maximum temperatures higher than traditional silicon devices. Due to the permissible increase in operating temperatures, it has been proposed to develop an air-cooling system for an inverter consisting of silicon carbide devices.
This thesis presents recent research efforts to develop the proposed air-cooling system. The thermal performance of the each design iteration was determined by numerical simulations via the finite element method in both steady state and transient mode using COMSOL Multi-physics software version 3.5a. For all simulations presented in this thesis, the heat dissipated in the MOSFETS and diodes are specified as functions of current, voltage, switching frequency, and junction temperature. For both the steady state and transient simulations, the junction temperature was determined iteratively. Additionally in the transient simulations, the current distribution is a function of time and was deduced from the EPA US06 drive cycle. After several design iterations, a thermally feasible design has been reached. This design is presented in detail in this thesis.
Under transient simulations of the final design, the maximum junction temperatures were determined to be below 146 ºC for air flow rates of 30 and 60 CFM, which is substantially lower than the 250 ºC maximum allowable junction temperature of Si-C devices. However for steady state simulations, junction temperatures were found to be much higher than the transient simulations. It was determined that a minimum flow rate of 50 CFM is required to meet the temperature requirements of the Si-C devices under steady state operating conditions. The power density of this air-cooled final design is 11.75 kW/L, and it is competitive with liquid-cooled systems.

The Study of Heat and Mass Transfer In The Generator For an Absorption Air Conditioning SystemHsu, Yu-lien 07 August 2012 (has links)
This thesis is aimed to study the heat and mass transfer performance of a generator for the absorption cooling system. Both aqueous lithium bromide (LiBr) and lithium chloride (LiCl) solutions are studied. The generator inlet concentration and outlet concentration are set to 55% and 60%, respectively, for aqueous lithium bromide solution, and 40% and 45%, respectively, for aqueous lithium chloride solution. Therefore, the system of falling film desorption process is studied for the simulation of the generator.
A finite-difference method is applied to numerically simulate the heat and mass transfer for a falling film desorption process in the generator. Parameters effects the inlet temperature, the heat source (wall) temperature, and the vapor pressure consistent with the saturation pressure of the condenser, and the solution flow rate are studied.
The results of the present study provide important design references for absorption cooling systems.

Resistance to airflow and the effects on cooling efficiency of multi-scale ventilated pome fruit packagingBerry, Tarl Michael 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MScAgric)--Stellenbosch University, 2013. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Inadequate cooling of produce after it has been packed into ventilated packaging can result in
inconsistent fruit quality. Misalignment of ventilation holes during stacking as well as the use of
internal packaging, such as trays, polyliner bags and thrift bags reduces airflow distribution through
the packaging. Consequently, the complex needs of maintaining the cold chain of perishable
produce and the considerable variations in packaging designs have made it challenging to find an
optimal ventilated package and stacking arrangement. The aims of this study were, therefore, to
assess the status of ventilated packaging in the South African pome fruit industry, and to
characterize the effects of package design and multi-scale packaging components on the resistance
to airflow and cooling performance of apples under forced-air cooling conditions.
A survey of the pome fruit industry identified over twenty packaging designs which were
grouped into eleven unique designs and further categorised into either ‘display’ or ‘telescopic’
designs. Although South African fruit industry standards recommend ventilation areas of at least
5%, the ventilation areas of package designs identified from the survey varied considerably between
<1 and 11%. Furthermore, the study showed that use of stacking renders many of the ventilation
holes ineffective, due to blockages from adjacent cartons.
The contribution of each component of the multi-scale packages used for handling apples was
determined by analysis of pressure drop during forced-air cooling. The results showed when
utilising a combination of cartons, fruit trays and plastic liner bags, the total pressure drop
contribution of the cartons (8%) and fruit trays (3%) was minimal, while the use of plastic liner
bags contributed 89%. However, in a carton and thrift bag packaging combination, the thrift bags
contributed 66% to the pressure drop while the carton contributed 34%.
The cooling results indicated a negative correlation between the total stack ventilation area and
the cooling heterogeneity. In addition, the airflow velocity was correlated positively with fruit
cooling rate and negatively with total moisture loss. Fruit packed inside polyliner bags had cooling
rates four times slower than fruit on trays and three times slower in thrift bags. The use of liner bags
blocked the ventilation holes, thereby reducing the airflow velocity. As a result of the longer
cooling times in the polyliner bags, fruit remained at higher temperatures for longer periods,
resulting in up to three times more moisture loss during forced-air cooling. In addition, a
temperature gradient formed due to a progressive increase in air temperature through the stack,
thereby resulting in a similar gradient of moisture loss. This research showed that airflow velocity and distribution were the most important factors
contributing to the effectiveness of fruit cooling in multi-scale packaging. From a cold chain
perspective, future packaging designs should therefore focus on optimising ventilation
characteristics and alignment during stacking to ensure adequate airflow. Given the contribution of
internal packaging to high resistance to airflow, such packaging components should be used with
caution and only when necessary to meet physiological and market requirements. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Onvoldoende verkoeling van vars produkte nadat hulle verpak is kan lei tot wisselende
vruggehalte. Wanbelyning van ventilasiegate tydens stapeling sowel as die gebruik van interne
verpakking soos rakkies (eng. “trays”), poli-etileensakke en drasakkies (eng. “thrift bag”) verminder
die lugverspreiding deur die verpakking. Komplekse behoeftes om bederfbare produkte in die koue
ketting te behou en die aansienlike verskille in verpakkingsontwerpe het dit 'n uitdaging gemaak om
'n optimale geventileerde verpakking en stapelskikking of -rangskikking te vind. Die doelwitte van
hierdie studie was dus om die status van geventileerde verpakking in die Suid-Afrikaanse
kernvrugbedryf te asseseer, en die gevolge van die verpakkingsontwerp en multi-skaal
verpakkingskomponente op die weerstand teen lugvloei en verkoeling van appels onder geforseerde
lugverkoeling te bepaal.
‘n Opname van die kernvrugbedryf het meer as twintig verpakkingsontwerpe geïdentifiseer, wat
in elf unieke ontwerpe gegroepeer is en verder getipeer word in ‘vertoon’ en ‘teleskopiese’
kartonontwerpe. Alhoewel die Suid-Afrikaanse vrugindustrie-standaarde ventilasie areas van ten
minste 5% aanbeveel, het die ventilasie areas van die verpakkingsontwerpe geïdentifiseer uit die
opname aansienlik gewissel tussen <1 en 11%. Verder het die studie getoon dat gebruik van
stapeling baie van die ventilasiegate ondoeltreffend laat weens blokkasies veroorsaak deur
aangrensende kartonne.
Die bydrae van elke komponent van die multi-skaal verpakkingskombinasies gebruik vir die
hantering van appels was bepaal deur analise van die afname in lugdruk tydens geforseerde
lugverkoelingskondisies. Die resultate het getoon dat wanneer ‘n kombinasie van kartonne, polietileensakke
en vrugte plus rakkies gebruik word, die bydrae van die kartonne (8%) en vrugte plus
rakkies (3%) tot die totale afname in lugdruk minimaal was, terwyl die gebruik van polietileensakke
‘n 89% bydrae gemaak het. In ‘n karton en drasakkie kombinasie het die drasakkies
66% bygedra tot die afname in lugdruk, terwyl die karton 34% bygedra het.
Die verkoelingsresultate het 'n negatiewe korrelasie getoon tussen die totale stapelventilasie-area
en die verkoelingsheterogeniteit. Daarbenewens was die lugvloeisnelheid positief gekorreleer met
vrugverkoelingstempo en negatief gekorreleer met totale vogverlies. Die verkoelingstydperk van
vrugte in die poli-etileensakke was vier keer langer as die rakkie met vrugte kombinasie en drie
keer langer in die drasakkies. Die poli-etileensakke het die ventilasiegate versper en dus die
lugvloeisnelheid verlaag. Weens die langer verkoelingstye in die poli-etileensakke was vrugte veel langer aan hoër temperature blootgestel, wat uiteindelik gelei het tot drie keer meer massaverlies
gedurende geforseerde lugverkoeling. Daarby het ‘n temperatuurgradiënt gevorm as gevolg van ‘n
progressiewe verhoging in lugtemperatuur deur die stapel wat gelei het tot ‘n gelykstaande gradiënt
van vogverlies.
Hierdie navorsing het getoon dat die lugvloeisnelheid en -verspreiding die belangrikste faktore
was wat die doeltreffendheid van vrugverkoeling in multi-skaal verpakking geaffekteer het. Uit 'n
koelketting perspektief moet die toekomstige verpakkingsontwerpe dus fokus op die optimalisering
van ventilasie eienskappe en belyning (eng. “alignment”) tydens stapeling om voldoende lugvloei te
verseker. Gegewe die bydrae van die interne verpakking tot hoë weerstand teen lugvloei, moet sulke
verpakkingskomponente met omsigtigheid gebruik word en slegs wanneer dit nodig is om aan
markvereistes te voldoen.

Experimental and numerical study of the thermal and hydraulic effect of EMC screens in radio base stations : detailed and compact modelsAntón Remírez, Raúl January 2006 (has links)
Today’s telecommunication cabinets use Electro Magnetic Compliance (EMC) screens in order to reduce electromagnetic noise that can cause some miss functions in electronic equipment. Many radio base stations (RBSs) use a 90-degree building architecture: the flow inlet is perpendicular to the EMC screen, which creates a complex flow, with a 90-degree air turn, expansions, compressions, perforated plates and PCBs. It is of great interest to study how the EMC screen interacts with the rest of components and analyze the total pressure drop and how much the flow pattern changes due to the placement of the screen. Velocity, pressure and temperature measurements as well as flow pattern visualizations have been carried out to gain good insight into the flow and heat transfer characteristics in a subrack model of an RBS. Furthermore, these measurements have been very useful for validating detailed CFD models and evaluating several turbulence models. Nowadays, industrial competition has caused a substantial decrease in the time-to-market of products. This fact makes the use of compact models in the first stages of the design process of vital importance. Accurate and fast compact models can to a great extent decrease the time for design, and thus for production. Hence, to determine the correlations between the pressure drop and flow pattern on the PCBs as a function of the geometry and the Reynolds number, based on a detailed CFD parametric study, was one objective. Furthermore, the development of a compact model using a porous media approach (using two directional-loss coefficients) has been accomplished. Two correlations of these directional loss coefficients were found as a function of the geometry and Reynolds number. / QC 20100630
