Relationship between Particle Size Distribution of Low-Rank Pulverized Coal and Power Plant Performance by Rajive Ganguli, Sukumar Bandopadhyay

“…Performance was gauged through efficiency (ratio of megawatt generated to energy consumed as coal), emissions (SO2, NOx, CO), and carbon content of ash (fly ash and bottom ash). The study revealed that the tested coal could be burned at a grind as coarse as 50% passing 76 microns, with no deleterious impact on power generation and emissions. …”

Fire Detection Design Based on Gas Leakage Accompanied by fire Location Point Using ESP32 Based on IoT by Nanda Wibowo, Hilman Zarory, Dian Mursyitah, Aulia Ullah

“…Type B fires are fires that occur due to the burning of fuel in the form of gas, this type of fire occurs quite often where in DKI Jakarta this type of fire occurs in up to 180 cases and one of the causes of this fire is due to LPG gas leaks then at this time the fire extinguisher fire only has 1 method to find the location of the fire, therefore in this research a tool was created that can detect gas leaks and fires which can send danger warning messages to users, namely building owners and firefighters via the telegram application, from research carried out by the tool created to successfully detect the presence of gas leaks when the PPM value of LPG gas exceeds 100 PPM as well as fires when the presence of fire is detected, the carbon dioxide value in smoke exceeds 100 PPM, and also high temperatures, the tool will identify dangerous conditions and send a danger warning message to the user along with the coordinates and Google Maps link for the location of the equipment when a fire occurs.…”
