Experimental studies are carried out to investigate cold flow field and combustion performance of a workable liquid-fueled trapped vortex combustor (TVC). A remarkable design of the model is that all the air flows through the combustor is supplied from a single source, which makes it distinct...

To balance the demand and supply at off-peak hours, nuclear power plants often have to be down-regulated particularly when the installations exceed the base load requirements. Part-load operations not only increase the electricity cost but also impose a detrimental effect on the safety and...
