Sentences with phrase «used combustion turbines»

Not exact matches

Rocket engines, gas turbines and diesel engines experience conditions in their combustion chamber that exceed the critical conditions of their fuel, and supercritical finely atomized sprays are used to coat tablets in the production of medicines.

Its number - crunching capabilities are used to study ship hydrodynamics and air turbulence, to probe industrial combustion turbines to create cleaner engines, and to understand global ocean circulation, as well as for earthquake simulations and aircraft noise - reduction modeling.

In some engines, especially for turbine engine blade cooling and liquid rocket engine cooling, fuel is used as a coolant, as it is simultaneously preheated before injecting it into a combustion chamber.

[7] Power plant efficiency can also be greatly improved by using «combined heat and power» systems that use waste heat from the combustion process for space heating or industrial applications, [8] or by using a «combined cycle» that uses the waste heat to power a steam turbine and make more electricity.

How CHP works is by using the heat that would otherwise be wasted in exhaust gases from fossil combustion systems, such as flue gases from a coal - or biomass - fueled boiler or exhaust from a gas turbine or reciprocating engine, to produce steam and / or hot water for various industrial or commercial needs.

It uses carbon dioxide produced in combustion to drive turbines at the plant rather than steam.

The oil - fired (liquid - fired) generators are only used minimally today, due to a combination of high relative fuel prices, air pollution restrictions, and the low efficiencies of the older steam turbines and newer internal combustion units.

Energy from combustion is used to heat water, which in turn powers a steam turbine.

[1] An NGCC plant first uses a gas combustion turbine to generate electricity, then uses the waste heat to make steam to generate additional electricity in a steam turbine.

One scenario includes heat pumps — which are used in place of combustion - based heaters and coolers — but no hot or cold energy storage; two add no hydropower turbines to existing hydropower dams; and one has no battery storage.

If gas turbines are used for backup, startup time is about 30 min from dead stop, less from a low load situation where fuel consumption and emissions are low, less for combustion systems.

Less expensive but less efficient power plants like combustion gas turbines are useful for capacity and flexibility because they are used only infrequently.

These are followed by the combustion turbine (9.30 quads), which is primarily for power generation and transportation (aviation), and the compression - ignition engine (6.78 quads), which is primarily for transportation but also has some uses in power generation.

A conventional natural gas combustion turbine of the required size might require approximately $ 195 million in overnight capital costs (given the cost assumptions used in EIA's Annual Energy Outlook).

Better to put in new combustion turbines and use their waste heat to drive the old coal boilers.

That hydrogen could then be stored and used later to generate electricity (via fuel cell or combustion turbine) when the power is most needed, thereby smoothing out the variability of wind.

The combustion of coal in power generating plants is used to make steam which, in turn, operates turbines and generators.

Methane that is currently flared can be processed and introduced into the closest natural gas pipeline or it can be used directly to produce electricity in a microtubine, internal combustion engine or a boiler and steam turbine.

Gas turbine is the machinery that extracts energy from flow of combustion gas and is used to power aircrafts, trains or generators.
