Descriptions

Thermal power generation is still widely used around the world today, but is the subject of intensive research seeking ways to reduce the environmental impact of emissions and improve the cost-effectiveness of the systems. This book reviews current thermal power systems as well as describing and evaluating new advances. The first part offers new insights into a variety of key topics including analysis of coal ignition for engineering design, functional analysis techniques, a case study of an expert system for load shedding, and a review of current technologies for reducing CO2 emission from coal-fired power plants. Part two moves to a discussion of advanced applications. Here, the expert contributors offer research findings on subjects including exergy analysis and efficiency improvement, system analysis for heat rate improvement, the feasibility of a solar thermal power plant in Pakistan, the possibility of green energy generation from rice husks, and a discussion of the environmental aspects of coal combustion residue from thermal power processes. This is a wide-ranging book ideal for readers wishing to extend their understanding of the current state of the field, as well as to inform themselves of directions and trends for future research.
