This paper discussed the electrostatic sensors that have been constructed for real–time mass flow rate measurement of particle conveying in a Pneumatic pipeline. Many industrial processes require continuous, smooth, and consistent delivery of solids materials with a high accuracy of controlled flow rate. This requirement can only be achieved by installing a proper measurement system. Electrostatic sensor offers the most inexpensive and simplest means of measuring solids flows in pipes. Key words: Electrostatic sensor, cross-correlation, peripheral velocity

This paper discusses the measurement of thermal efficiency for natural gas-fueled engines and the resulting uncertainty. Two methods for determining thermal efficiency are described in detail. For each method, the sources of uncertainty are identified and quantified, and an estimate of the overall uncertainty is calculated. The analysis indicates that a thermal efficiency calculation that uses a mass fuel flow rate measurement directly as a basis for the energy input rate provides less uncertainty than the other method that uses a volumetric flow measurement.

An inappropriate design of HRSG (Heat Recovery Steam Generator) may lead to mechanical problems including the fatigue failure caused by rapid load change such as operating trip, start-up or shut down. The performance of HRSG with dynamic analysis should be investigated in case of start-up or shutdown. In this study, dynamic analysis for the HRSG system was carried out by commercial software. The HRSG system was modeled with HP, IP, LP evaporator, duct burner, superheater, reheater and economizer. The main variables for the analysis were the temperature and mass flow rate from gas turbine and fuel flow rate of duct burner for given start-up (cold/warm/hot) and shutdown curve. The results showed that the exhaust gas condition of gas turbine and fuel flow rate of duct burner were main factors controlling the performance of HRSG such as flow rate and temperature of main steam from final superheater and pressure of HP drum. The time delay at the change of steam temperature between gas turbine exhaust gas and HP steam was within 2 minutes at any analysis cases.
