Computer Simulation of Thermal Plant Operations (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Computer Simulation of Thermal Plant Operations provides an in-depth discussion of thermal plant simulation: dynamic simulation of plants which produce, exchange and otherwise utilize heat as their working medium. The book adopts a fundamental approach to the subject, providing an overview of simulation concepts, descriptions of suitable computer environments, reviews of relevant computation methods and fundamental thermodynamics, detailed examinations of basic conservation equations, and in-depth developments of specific simulation models.

Illustrated with photographs of equipment and numerical examples based on real plant operations, Computer Simulation of Thermal Plant Operations is an essential volume for all chemical, mechanical and control engineers involved with operations, control and optimization, and operator training.

Autorenporträt

Peter O'Kelly's career as a professional engineer began at the Electricity Commission of NSW, Australia. He later spent eight years with Kraftwerk Union (now Siemens PG) in Germany, working on the design, operation and simulation of nuclear power stations. After a further three years of simulator design and operator training in France and Brazil he returned to Australia and founded Costec Pty Ltd, a developer and manufacturer of operator training simulators for fossil-fuelled power plants. Through a merger and public float, Costec became part of Techcomm Group Ltd and for two years the author was Head of its Power and Simulation Division. In 2002 he founded Costec Systems Pty Ltd, a designer of operator training systems and engineering consulting company, and remains its CEO. He earned a B.E.(Elec), M.Eng.Sc., and Ph.D. from the University of NSW Australia.
