Low load operation of turbine-driven boiler feed pumps by Clark, John Shaun

“…The main recommendations from the case studies were as follows: i. to stroke the steam admission valves as per the design charts, ii. to test the operation of the BFPT down to 40 % generator load, iii. to keep the pump leak-off philosophy unchanged, iv. to maintain the cooling water system and condensers sufficiently to avoid poor condenser vacuum, v. to reconsider the decommissioning of the “cold reheat” steam supply, vi. and, to favour use of the BFPT over the electric feed pumps at all generator loads.…”

Oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane with carbon dioxide over iron-nickel nano-alloys supported on metal oxide overlayers by Raseale, Shaine

“…Promoters such as Fe-based oxides have been studied to enhance the CO2-activation functionality and stability of the oxides [5]. A Density Functional Theory (DFT) study suggested that bimetallic alloys can have superior activity for CO2-activation compared to their monometallic counterparts [16]. …”
