FEASIBILITY OF LARGE-SCALE COMBINED-CYCLE HYDROELECTRIC POWER GENERATION AT SHIRORO HYDROELECTRIC POWER STATION, NIGERIA

Feasibility of Large-Scale Combined-Cycle Hydroelectric Power Generation at Shiroro Hydroelectric Power Station, Nigeria

This paper focuses on a model for increasing the power generation of a hydroelectric power station using the combined application of hydrokinetic turbines installed at the tailrace of the existing dam.Hydrokinetic turbines will capture additional power from the energy remaining in water currents exiting draft-tube Idler Assembly outlets and tailrac

Thermomechanical analysis for the theoretical optimization of W/Cu monoblocks with functionally graded interlayer

In fusion devices, plasma-facing components (PFCs) play a critical role in withstanding severe thermal conditions resulting from cyclic high heat flux (HHF) loads.The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) and next-generation fusion devices are expected to employ actively cooled tungsten/copper (W/Cu) monoblocks as divertor targets
