Evaluating Boiler Performance in Refinery Operations Using Thermodynamic PrinciplesBy Chukwuemeke. P Ukpaka, Kingsley Okechukwu Achonwa, A. A Ujile, E. O. Ehirim
Abstract: This work involves the evaluation of effect of boiler operating temperature and pressure on the performance of steam power plant, a case study of Port Harcourt Refining Company. Thermodynamic principles of the Rankine cycle as the ideal cycle for steam power plant analysis were applied in this study. Boiler operating pressures of 43bar and 61bars were used. The results obtained showed that there was improved performance of the plant when …
