    What are the barrier to run a process at 600bar 1700C

    I was simulating an acqueous reaction (Na2SO4+H2O<=>2NaOH+SO2) and got a maximum rate at 600bar 1700C. What are potential physical (not economical) limitations that could prevent the design/development of such a process. The final product has to be cooled down to 200C. Thank you all for your...

    Multivariate Analysis?

    I have have a flow of reagent (Methanol) entering 21 process users across my plant. Some users uses the Methanol as fuel others as solvent and some as reagents... Could one suggest the best way of knowing/classifying these users are causing High methanol usage during a given period? I'm thinking...

    Calculate the Theoretical Minimum Steam Flow to a Condensing Steam Turbine

    Could one share his approach in "Calculating the Theoretical Minimum Steam Flow to a Condensing Steam Turbine"? The web is full of "artistic" comments of this minimum flow to be about 25% rating of full-load limits. But one help elaborate on a methodical way of computing (Mathematical...

    &quot;Installed Valve Characteristic&quot; vs &quot;inherent valve characteristic&quot; is it compar

    Is the a rational explanation why DP across a given valve at a given flow rate and opening will be different than when this same valve is installed in a system with Pump, Elbow and restriction? I'm trying to comprehend the notion of "Installed Valve Characteristic" vs "inherent valve...

    what can makes a generator vibrate more as load decreases

    I have a 45MWh generator that's showing a 3 mills of vibration ampliture when operating below 8MWh. The vibration will reduce to 1.2 Mills as soon as power production exceeds 8MWh. It's clean to my mind that torque produce by the Prime mover(steam turbine) will increase the load angle and...

    Overall Efficiency when cofiring multiple fuels

    Boiler efficiency (B_eff) is established as follow: *on 100% wood B_eff_wood=85% *on 100% Natural gas B_eff_wood=90% *on 100% Coal B_eff_coal=75% Is there a correlation between these efficiencies and the overall boiler efficiency when firing a mixture of : 25% wood + 25% Natural gas + 50% Coal...
