The adaptive predictive control of an energy efficient central water heating system applied in the South African commercial sector
(North-West University (South Africa), Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)Since the introduction of load shedding in the latter part of 2007, Eskom, the electrical utility of South Africa, have been forced to implement energy efficient and energy management measures to ensure the stability of ... -
Non-equilibrium two-phase flow simulation of an open feed water heater in the HPLWR power plant
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2017)In 1996 the U.S Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued a notice that addressed the operation of pressurised water reactors (PWR’s) above the licensed power limit due to a decrease in the feed water temperature which may ... -
Steam generator thermal-fluid simulation using a coupled Flownex and RELAP5/mod4.0 approach
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2015)The steam generator (SG) is one of the biggest structural components in a nuclear power plant (NPP), and can in many respects be seen as the heart of the system. It functions as a heat exchanger between the primary and ... -
The techno-economical impact of reducing chilled water usage on a deep level gold mine
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)Deep level gold mines make use of refrigeration plants to chill water for use in underground operations. Operating these plants as well as pumping the used water back to surface result in significant costs. To reduce this ...
