摘要
Modifications are examined to increase coal-fired steam power plant efficiency by reducing irreversibilities in the steam generator, including decreasing the fraction of excess combustion air, and/or the stack-gas temperature. Overall-plant energy and exergy efficiencies both increase by 1.4% when the fraction of excess combustion air decreases from 0.4 to 0.15, and by 3.5% when the stack-gas temperature decreases from 149 degrees C to 87 degrees C. When both decreases occur, plant energy and exergy efficiencies both increase by 4.1%, If theoretical combustion air is used, the plant energy and exergy efficiencies both increase by 4.7% when the stack-gas temperature is 87 degrees C.
