Fuel saving, carbon dioxide emission avoidance, and syngas production by tri-reforming of flue gases from coal- and gas-fired power stations, and by the carbothermic reduction of i...
Halmann, M.; Steinfeld, A. - In: Energy 31 (2006) 15, pp. 3171-3185
Flue gases from coal, gas, or oil-fired power stations, as well as from several heavy industries, such as the production of iron, lime and cement, are major anthropogenic sources of global CO2 emissions. The newly proposed process for syngas production based on the tri-reforming of such flue...

Optimal synthesis and design of Heat Recovery Steam Generation (HRSG) via mathematical programming
Manassaldi, Juan I.; Mussati, Sergio F.; Scenna, Nicolás J. - In: Energy 36 (2011) 1, pp. 475-485
Thermal efficiency of Combined Cycle Power Plants (CCPPs) depends strongly on the Heat Recovery Steam Generation (HRSG) design which links the gas cycle with the steam cycle. Therefore, the HRSG must be carefully designed in order to maximize the heat exchanged and to improve the overall...
