Co-enhancement of energy efficiency and dynamic flexibility for indirect air-cooled systems under frequent peak-shaving: Trade-offs of cost, performance and robustness

Deep peak-shaving operation of coal-fired power units requires heat-exchange equipment to rapidly track varying loads. Indirect air-cooled units are central to power supply in water-scarce regions, and their cold-end system rejects heat to ambient air and possesses substantial th...

Study on stable combustion mechanism and emission characteristics of a diesel/methanol dual-fuel injection system under constant pressure differential control

Pressure differential fluctuations can significantly disturb pilot diesel storage and ignition stability in pressure-differential-driven dual-fuel injection systems, thereby limiting the achievable methanol substitution rate (MSR). To address this issue, a constant-pressure-diffe...

Single-Atom Solvent for Enhanced CO2 Capture: Process Modeling and Multi-Objective Optimization

This work addresses the post-combustion CO2 capture demand, employing a single-atom solvent as the absorbent to conduct systematic research on process modeling, energy consumption analysis, and multi-objective optimization. The energy consumption of the single-atom solvent-enhanc...
