Boiler feed pump low load – leak off recirculation study by van Tonder, Daniël

“…For power plants that make use of high energy boiler feed pumps, there is a risk that the boiler feed pump may experience cavitation and overheating at low load and start-up conditions. These plants make use of a leak off or recirculation system that diverts some of the flow back to the feed water tank, ensuring that a minimum flow through the pump is maintained at low load and start-up operating conditions. …”

Stress Wave Propagation In A ‘Simplified Surrogate Tibia’ Subjected To Blast Loading by Seenzayi, Davison

“…The parametric study successfully explored the blast induced stress waves propagations and its distribution within the tibia model during a blast event. The tibia model experienced a compressive load cycle followed by a tensile load cycle as the stress waves got reflected upon encountering boundaries. …”

Validation of the deck behaviour due to post-tension loading of Ashton arch bridge by Van Wijk, Heinrich

“…This objective was achieved by validating selected finite element model parameters with field conducted tests. The input parameter, which is the prestress loading onto the structure, was validated with tendon elongation measurements and tendon lift-off tests. …”

Extending the Herman-Beta transform for probabilistic load flow analysis of radial feeders by Chihota, Munyaradzi Justice

“…The novel formulation of the transform with consideration of complex-type input parameters redresses the network model simplifications of unity power factor loads and resistive feeders in the original HB algorithm (HBA) and the limitation of the representation using absolute values. …”
