Exergetic and environmental analysis of a pulverized coal power plant

Prediction of unburned carbon in bottom ash in terms of moisture content and sieve analysis of coal

“…Considering vitrinites reflectance value of 0.57% and volatile matter of 37.1%, the coal can be considered as sub-bituminous coal. With its low ash (9.6%) and low sulfur (0.3%) contents and calorific value of 6640 kcal/kg it can also be regarded as a suitable fuel for power generation [4]. Inert and semi-inert components only occupy 20%.…”

Component and Process Based Exergy Evaluation of a 600MW Coal-fired Power Plant

“…Exergy analysis has been widely performed to various energy systems, provides useful guidelines, and has become a useful tool for the analysis and optimization of energy systems combined with other techniques [2,3]. Previous exergy analysis work mainly focused on single component analyses but few literature was found to analyse the system on a process basis.…”

A new proposed approach for future large-scale de-carbonization coal-fired power plants

“…18 (1) The chemical exergy of coal, as exergy input, nearly accounts for the total 19 exergy input. The exergy input of coal can be calculated with the following formula 20 [30]: 20 where H and S are enthalpy and entropy of the stream, respectively; the subscript 0 21 indicates that the properties are taken at the environmental temperature and pressure. …”
