When testing to estabhsh the thermodynamic performance of a steam turbine, the ASME Performance Test Code 6 should be followed as closely as possible. The effec t of deviations from code procedure should be carefully evaluated. The flow measurement is particularly critical, and Performance Test Code 19 gives details of flow nozzles and orifices. The test requirements should be carefully studied when the piping is designed to ensure that a meaningful test can be conducted.

The turbine firing temperature should be computed by knowing the gas characteristics of the combustion gas. If these characteristics are known then one can use the combustion gas equations given in the ASME performance test codes 4.4 (1991) for gas turbine HRSG. Usually the gas constituents are not known so it is not a bad assumption to use the 400% theoretical air tables in the Keenan and Kaye gas tables. The following equations for...

A positive result of TDF use in waste wood boilers is that facilities are able to bum sludge and waste wood more successfully, decreasing the likelihood of solid waste disposal problems. Results from a series of waste wood boiler performance tests using ASMS codes concluded that use of TDF supplementally in hog-fuel boilers enhances combustion of wood waste, and enables disposal of biological sludge in conjunction with wood waste without necessitating use of other fossil fuels such as coal.2 No applicable environmental limits were exceeded during these tests.2...
