Alternatively, one could make up the lost power by using other means such as building a natural gas-fired combined cycle plant, which would reduce the overall CO_2 recovery rate from 90% to 70% and increase the operating vulnerability due to the volatility of natural gas cost. A novel ...
meaning that systems will fail regardless of their ability to pass unit tests. That stated, some form of automated testing has proven to be an improvement in basically every environment I’ve seen it used. But it has a real cost trade-off. ...
The evaporative capacity of tomato juice concentrators is influenced by the juice viscosity: at high Brix % corresponds more output. The major operating cost for the evaporation is due to the production of the steam (by a boiler). The multiple-effect evaporator design allows energy savings ...
aAs the concern regarding declining construction efficiency and productivity over the last decade, and the increasing pressures in the global economy for higher safety and quality and reduced cost and lead-time of construction projects, there has been growing interest in computer-integrated construction....
[13] developed a report for the US Environmental Protection Agency, providing a comprehensive explanation of the performance and cost estimations of new coal-fired power plants, including ultra-critical power plants. While the document provides decision-makers with early planning cost estimates, it ...
Different plant sizes have been considered in order to assess the economy-of-scale effect. The technical data required as input are collected from the literature and, in some cases, from experiments. The investment cost is evaluated on the basis of conducted studies, third party supplier budget ...
