The Duke was regarded as a failure by locomotive crews due to its poor steaming characteristics and its heavy fuel consumption.
The poor steaming characteristics of the class had been the result of rushed production, which was another factor that led to the bad reputation of the Clan Class.
Despite its problems, the locomotive displayed outstanding steaming characteristics and total traction from the two power bogies on its trial runs.
A series of model experiments are performed using the developed thermal hydraulic model in order to acquire the input output data sets which represent steam generator characteristics.
In addition to numerical simulations, the analyses rely on previous knowledge, acquired from experimental work on steam flow characteristics in the BWR 3000 with its asymmetrically placed steam line nozzles.
A feedforward neural network with time-delayed inputs and time-delayed output feedbacks was adopted to establish the inverse models for the load and the main steam pressure characteristics.
A parametric study was conducted over Pt Ni/δ-Al2O3 to exPt Ni/δ-Al2O3ectoof Pt and Ni contexplore the effectl steam refofming characteristics of the bimetallic catalyst.
The steam-side characteristics are quantified in terms of temperature, pressure and thermal resistance.
To determine the impact of installing the MACC on plant output, the steam-side characteristics were established through a series of experimental measurements taken on a full-scale prototype.
The steam side dynamic characteristics of the boiler are also considered based on the modular modeling method.
In this paper, the experiments conducted mainly aim to study the characteristics of steam breakthrough under heterogeneous conditions and provide references for the following parameters selection of steam breakthrough identification.
