The distribution of costs for electricity and heat production is accomplished by a number of fairly conditional methods. Cost analysis and allocation must be carried out on the basis of objective technical and economic criteria. The application of a method is determined by the introduced regulatory frameworks, energy markets and the prices of energy products. There are two fundamental methods – "physical" and "exergy". The physical method is based on the distribution of costs, and the exergy on the second law of thermodynamics. The article reviews and analyzes the tariff policy of the Thermal power plant. Objective criteria have been identified to serve as a means of forecasting and controlling fuel consumption. The thermal efficiency of a Thermal power plant has been evaluated. A comparison was made with similar Thermal power plants. A fundamentally new approach is proposed to determine the main technical and economic criteria of the plant. The proposed method allows determining indicators that uniquely characterize the thermal and economic efficiency of the plant without the need for diversification of fuel costs
Pig farming is a sector of animal husbandry, the development of which is great attention. The pork market occupies a large share in the trade in animal products. In the conditions of they do competition more efforts are made to improve the quality and reduce the cost of production. To achieve this goal, work is being done in several areas – development and expansion of the gene pool, improvement of the living environment in the premises for animal husbandry, reduction of energy costs. Along with the development of feeding technologies, it is necessary to create a suitable microclimate in the premises, in which the animals to realize their productive potential, which in turn is directly related to the use of heating and cooling systems. The design of these systems for both existing and new buildings is carried out according to generally accepted methodologies, which in turn require time for calculation and use of specialized software. The methodologies for determining the loads for heating and cooling of livestock buildings, in accordance with the current legislation in the Republic of Bulgaria, are compared with a new method proposed in this publication. The possibility to consider a livestock building from the point of view of the theory of heat exchange allows the use of the basic differential equations describing the dynamic interaction of the building with the environment. This description would be complete and complex to implement. Therefore, the method of dimensional analysis is used, which is based on generalized indicators, when fulfilling certain criteria of similarity. The aim of the new methodology is to shorten the design time and allow the rapid sizing of heating and cooling systems in livestock buildings. In developing the new methodology, the task was the proposed new approach to summarize the interaction of all physical parameters affecting the heat exchange between the building and the surrounding air, allowing to take into account changes in external (air temperature, wind speed, solar radiation intensity) and internal factors (heat given off by farm animals, lighting, process equipment and processes) affecting the heat exchange between the building and the ambient air
The economical combustion of gas fuel implies that it takes place with a minimum coefficient of excess air and minimal losses. Constructive, aerodynamic and physical factors have a determining influence on the completeness of combustion and the conditions of ignition. Using the ANSYS software program, the main characteristics of the combustion process in the cylindrical mixing section of a flat flame injection burner are investigated through computer simulation. A geometric model was created on which it is possible to study both straight and rotating jets. The possibility of numerically investigating the combustion of gaseous fuel (C 3 H 8 ) in a confined air flow produced by injection is considered. A k-ε model of turbulence was used, which is based on the equation for turbulent kinetic energy and its dissipation rate. The purpose of the work is to study and analyze the changes and distribution of temperature and speed as well as the concentration of nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide along the axis of the combustion chamber. The results are presented for the angles of inclination of the nozzles of 45° and 0°. Based on these, an analysis was made, where it 22 was found that with the increase in the degree of rotation, the absolute values of the temperature increase and the change in the mass concentration of the fuel along the length of the mixing section can be used to regulate the combustion process. The created numerical model can be successfully used to determine the main parameters of the burner under the same initial conditions, changing the angle of inclination of the nozzles. The obtained results can be considered as a basis for further research related to increasing the efficiency of the combustion process and lowering the harmful emissions produced by it.
The article discusses and analyses the factors related to the use of a thermal imaging camera to determine heat loss in industrial steam pipelines at factories from chemical and metallurgical industry, by measuring their surface temperature. The generally accepted enthalpy method for determination of the loss has serious drawback it gives accurate results, but in averaged units in which it is impossible to take account of the contribution of the different parts and components of the pipeline in the total heat loss. The unavailability of information on where, how and in what way along the route this loss is formed does not allow prompt and specific measures to be taken for its reduction. An attempt has been made to structure empirically a reliable analytic dependence for determination of the heat exchange coefficient, bringing together the various factors influencing the heat exchange. By the method of the least squares the free coefficient and the exponent have been determined of criterion equation satisfying initial and boundary conditions of the experiment. Based on the obtained results for determining the heat losses by measuring the surface temperature of steam pipelines with a thermal imaging system, a reliable and acceptable method is proposed, which has a place in engineering practice. For this purpose, an industrial experiment has been carried out at three actually operating steam pipelines of different diameters and steam parameters. A criterion equation has been derived that can be used as a mathematical model for software products with a practical orientation for regular assessment of heat losses of steam pipelines. Values of heat losses determined through energy balance of heat carrier and heat flux from the outer surface of the steam pipelines have been compared. Results for the heat exchange coefficient, obtained through a balance have been compared with the analytically determined values based on current standards. A new method has been developed for express evaluations of the current heat losses of the steam pipeline in real time, as the sum of the losses through its individual components gives as average values 9÷12 % increased results for the losses compared to the enthalpy method. Its great advantage is that it can be used selectively to determine the losses through individual sections of the steam pipeline.
