A numerical investigation of the plenum chamber aerodynamic behaviour of mechanical draught air-cooled heat exchangers
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2000-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The primary purpose of this dissertation is to further the understanding of the influence of
plenum chamber aerodynamic behaviour on mechanical draught air-cooled heat exchanger
(ACHE) performance. The ...
Inlet manifold tests and performance evaluation of dephlegmators in air-cooled steam condensers
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2000-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Measurements on air-cooled reflux steam condensers or dephlegmators at different
power plants have shown that sections of these units do not transfer heat effectively
over a range of operating conditions. ...
Rock bed thermal storage for concentrating solar power plants
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2014-04)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Concentrating solar power plants are a promising means of generating electricity. However, they are dependent on the sun as a source of energy, and require thermal storage to supply power on demand. At ...
Air-cooled condenser steam flow distribution and related dephlegmator design considerations
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2013-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The steam-side side operation of a practical air-cooled steam condenser is
investigated using a combination of CFD, numerical, analytical and experimental
methods. Particular attention is directed towards ...
