Abstract
In this paper, a thermodynamic analysis of a coal based thermal power plant and gas based cogeneration power plant has been carried out. The energy and exergy analysis has been studies for the different components of both power plants. The paper analyses the information available in the open literature regarding energy and exergy analysis on high temperature power plant has been included. A comprehensive literature review on thermal power plants, especially boiler in coal base thermal power plants and combustion chamber in gas-steam cogeneration has been included. Finally, explaining the procedure of analysis of thermal power plant systems by exegetical approach.
Highlights
The name thermodynamics comes from the Greek words therme and dynamis, which is most expressive of the conversion from heat into power [1]
The exergy concept has gained considerable interest in the thermodynamic analysis of thermal processes and plant systems since it has been seen that the First law analysis has been insufficient from an energy performance stand point
It is necessary to study the exergy analysis on combustion and thermodynamic processes, because ordinary energy analysis does not have any evaluation supported at its temperature level
Summary
The name thermodynamics comes from the Greek words therme (heat) and dynamis (power), which is most expressive of the conversion from heat into power [1]. The exergy concept has gained considerable interest in the thermodynamic analysis of thermal processes and plant systems since it has been seen that the First law analysis has been insufficient from an energy performance stand point. We had new technologies for high temperature air combustion and ultra-high temperature combined cycle In this case, it is necessary to study the exergy analysis on combustion and thermodynamic processes, because ordinary energy analysis does not have any evaluation supported at its temperature level. If we introduce the exergy analysis against energy analysis, which is supported by this temperature level, it is clear that the high temperature energy has a greater evaluation compared with low temperature one In this particular field of engineering, it is difficult to use the ambient. A large number of studies based on exergy analysis have been carried out by many researchers all over the world in various system applications
