Title: Dynamic mathematical model and computer simulation of a generic power plant coal pulverizing system

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5649271

In order to provide a facility to verify analytically derived control schemes of power plants operating under emergency conditions, it became necessary to develop a mathematical model of a generic power plant that would reflect the dynamics associated with emergency operation. With this purpose in mind, the mode developed in this thesis is a component in a total power plant model. A first principle approach in modeling is used, that is the model is developed by appropriately applying the physical laws that describe the processes. The mathematical model has been programmed and executed using a higher level FORTRAN program called Digital Simulation Language, thus providing a digital simulation of the pulverizing system. Graphs produced by the simulation are included and constitute the results of this thesis. 6 references, 15 figures, 14 tables.
