Decisions made on new-build coal-fired plants are driven by several factors—emissions, fuel logistics and electric transmission access all provide constraints. In most cases, capacity and technology ...

The drivers may be different, but the destination—higher efficiency—is the same worldwide. As a primary component of current efforts to reduce the environmental impact of burning low-cost coal, new ...

Location of Jump: Where the balance between upstream and downstream flow depths matches the ratio between y 1 and y 2.

The coal industry and some power utilities have been talking up the supposed benefits of ultra-supercritical power plants – leading some decision-makers and commentators to mistakenly believe that the ...

The flow around a circular cylinder is a classical problem of fluid dynamics, and its study is of great importance since the cylinder is one of the most commonly occuring shapes in engineering ...

The unsteady inviscid force on cylinders and spheres in subcritical compressible flow is investigated. In the limit of incompressible flow, the unsteady inviscid force on a cylinder or sphere is the ...

Collaborators: This is an international consortium involving 19 organisations from Europe, Canada and China. This EU-funded ECC-SMART project is aimed at assessing the feasibility of a small modular ...

A supercritical plant uses a steam generator design that operates at full load above critical pressure 22.1 MPa (3,208 psia). The Benson boiler refers to a steam generator design that is capable of ...
