    Power generation from combustion

    Md. Mominur Rahman, PhD


    Department of Chemical Engg., BUET
    Lecture-01
    Rankine cycle systems
    • The Rankine cycle using steam as the working fluid generates about 90%
    of electric power on a worldwide basis.

    • The majority of such power plants have been fueled by coal, natural gas
    and fuel oils

    • Present-day nuclear power plants also utilize steam-based Rankine cycles;


    so do most geothermal and solar thermal power plants.

    • By far, steam has been the working fluid of choice for the Rankine cycle in
    moderate to high temperature applications (>150 °C)
    Boiler

    • A boiler, as the name suggests, is a device that boils (water to


    produce steam)

    • The earliest form of boiler is the kettle

    • More scientifically, a boiler converts the chemical energy in


    fuel into the heat energy in steam, or the heat energy of hot
    gases into the heat energy of steam when no firing is involved
    Types of boilers: based on what flows through the boiler tubes
    1. Fire or smoke or flue tube or shell-type boilers in which flue gases are inside the
    tube and water is outside
    2. Water tube boilers in which water is inside and flue gases are
    outside
    3. Combination (combi boiler) in which flue gas and water flow
    both outside and inside the tubes; in this type contains an
    external furnace and shell-type boiler in a sequence
    Fire tube boilers are basically suitable for:
    • Clean fuels such as oil and gas, since the dusty fuels cause fouling
    and erosion as they travel in the tubes

    • Smaller sizes up to 35 tph, limited by the size of shell

    • Small superheaters (SHs) of ∼50°C, as there are arrangement


    problems for accommodating large SH surfaces

    • Low pressures of usually <25 atm limited by the pressure-holding


    capacity of the shell
    Types of boilers: based on Type of Firing

    • Mass/pile burning boilers


    • Stoker-fired boilers
    • Burner-fired boilers
    • Bubbling fluidized bed combustion (BFBC) boilers
    • Circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) boilers
    • Pulverized fuel (PF) boilers
    • Liquor-fired boilers
    • Waste heat boilers
    Mass/pile burning boilers
    Stoker-fired boilers
    Burner-fired boilers
    Bubbling fluidized bed combustion (BFBC) boilers
    Circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) boilers
    Pulverized fuel (PF) boilers
    Liquor-fired boilers
    Types of boilers: based on operating pressure

    • Subciritical boilers

    • Supercritical boilers (>22 Mpa)


    Boiler specification
    Steam flow or evaporation or boiler output
    • This is the amount of steam generated from the feed water (FW) supplied at a certain
    temperature. It is the capacity or the rating of the boiler expressed in lb/h, kg/h, kg/s or
    ton/hr. In a reheating (RH) boiler, heat is added to steam to raise its temperature from
    inlet to outlet condition. This also forms a part of evaporation. So, Boiler rating is
    sometimes expressed as heat duty: MBtu/h, Mkcal/h or megawatt thermals (MWth).
    Steam outlet pressure (SOP)

    • SH Outlet Pressure: Superheater outlet pressure is the pressure at which


    steam is available for further consumption (Usually it is ∼5% higher than
    process or turbine inlet pressure to account for the piping loss, that is,
    pressure losses in piping, bends, flow nozzle, and valves)
    • Design Pressure: In principle, the boiler design pressure is usually the set
    pressure of the second safety valve (or the highest set safety valve lifting
    pressure if there are more than two safety valves) on the drum. The
    design pressure limits the maximum operating pressure of a boiler.
    • RH Inlet and Outlet Pressures: These pressures are turbine-dependent
    based on the power cycle design
    • Calculation Pressure: Calculation pressure is the design pressure
    Steam outlet temperature (SOT)

    • SH Outlet Temperature: Superheater outlet temperature is the


    temperature at which the steam leaves the SH. It is usually the
    highest temperature attained by the steam in a boiler. Superheater
    outlet temperature up to ∼350°C is usually not controlled, being
    used mainly for process heating. For power application, the SOTs
    are generally >400°C and are required to be controlled.
    • RH Outlet Temperature: Reheater outlet temperature (RHOT) is the
    temperature at which steam leaves the RH. Reheater inlet
    temperature is turbine-dependent
    Feed water (FW) inlet temperature
    • Feed water temperature (FWT) varies from as low as 85°C for very low-
    capacity process plants with no feed heating to as high as 270°C in very
    high-pressure (HP) power plants with several stages of feed heating.
    Fuels
    • Fuels have the most profound effect on the size and shape of a boiler, because all
    boilers have to be primarily built around the characteristics of the fuel to be burnt.
    When the fuels for the project are understood, the resultant customization of the
    boiler is better.
    • Fuel flexibility in a boiler is most desirable, for multiple fuels as in the case of
    industrial boilers, it enables plant owners to optimize the fuel cost. But every
    flexibility brings a performance penalty and a trade-off is necessary

    • Prime or principal or main

    • Start-up fuel

    • Alternate fuel

    • Auxiliary or additional fuel


    • Prime or principal or main fuel is the fuel around which the boiler is built and the performance is
    guaranteed.

    • Start-up fuel is the fuel with which the boiler is started up and loaded until it is ready for taking the
    main fuel. Oil firing in case of Pulverized Fuel (PF) boilers, gas firing for circulating fluidized bed
    combustion (CFBC) boilers, and oil/charcoal for bubbling fluidized bed combustion (BFBC) boilers
    are some examples of start-up fuels.

    • Alternate fuel is available as an alternative to the main fuel, and usually full generation is obtained
    on both fuels with appropriate guarantees. Alternate fuel is planned when disruption of main fuel is
    a distinct possibility. In bagasse-based cogeneration (cogen) plants, coal or oil is planned as an
    alternate fuel during the off-season. Oil- and gas fired boilers, coal- and lignite fired boilers, bagasse
    and husk-fired boilers are some of the examples of employing alternate fuels where the fuels are
    somewhat similar and use the same firing equipment.

    • Auxiliary or additional fuel is available in the plant and is to be burnt along with the main fuel in
    cofiring mode

    Prime Movers and Thermodynamic cycles
    Lecture -3
    Prime Movers

    A prime mover is a machine that converts energy (potential energy, kinetic energy
    and heat energy) into work (mechanical) Examples: Gas turbine, steam turbine,
    reciprocating internal combustion engine, hydraulic turbine and wind turbine.

    These machines may be used for turning a generator to produce electricity or may
    be used to drive another machine such as a compressor or a pump.

    The gas turbine, steam turbine, and reciprocating internal combustion engine are
    all heat engines, that is, convert thermal energy into work while the hydraulic and
    the wind turbines convert the available kinetic energy in the fluid into work.
