Carbon emissions produced by the combustion of coal may be collected and stored in the future, but a better approach (in the near term at least) is to reduce the carbon produced through efficient ...

Steam gets scary in many ways at very high temperatures, and a Rankine cycle isn't all that efficient (although can be (and generally is) improved with "reheat" cycles ... which are needed in the ...

Steam turbine designers and researchers agree that for large units (about 300 MW and up) the ramp rates during start-up, large load changes, and other transients are mainly limited by unsteady thermal ...
