This paper presents a case study of recovering the waste heat of the exhaust flue gas before entering a flue gas desulphurizer (FGD) in a 600 MW power plant. This waste heat can be recovered by installing a low pressure economizer (LPE) to heat the condensed water which can save the steam...

This article focuses on the estimation of the parametric component, which is of primary interest, in semi-varying coefficient models with heteroscedastic errors. Specifically, we first present a procedure for estimating the variance function of the error term and the resulting estimator is...
