    摘要: An independent and conserved source of fuel and/or power comprises a top stage rocket engine firing up to 5000 F at very high pressures, delivering jet flows up to transonic velocities into a near adiabatic tunnel for mixing in general and/or for transforming reactants introduced to suit specific objectives. The related compression is supplied by an independent prime mover which compresses its exhaust and other recoverable fluids. Low grade flows, thereby upgraded in temperature and pressure, are adiabatically contained, are further upgraded in the tunnel to become part of the prescribed fuel for export at the tunnel ends; or fuel to be fired in a prime mover for electric or other power; or hydrogen for chemical use. Expansion turbines for this purpose are relieved of the load used to compress the excess air in standard gas turbines thus increasing export power. A portion of the expansion turbine's exhaust becomes part of recoverable fluids. When oxygen is used instead of air, the gases through turbines are nitrogen-free with more heat capacity reducing turbine inlet temperatures for the same power. When reactant transformation is specified, the larger water vapor content in the cycle enhances the water gas/shift autothermally for ammonia and/or power and alternatively for pyrolysis cracking for olefins and diolefins. Further, staging rocket engine reactors increases efficiency in boilers and steam turbines; and staging can produce sponge iron and/or iron carbide as well as expansion turbine power and fuel cells for peak and off-peak loads.

    摘要: The present invention is a system (100) and method for improved processing of flow data signals to provide output flow data signals which better approximate the true flows being measured. The general approach on which the invention is based is commonly known as flow data reconciliation. A dynamic simulation (110) is run in parallel with a flow data reconciliation, and model predicted flows are used to complete balances wherever sensor measurements are unavailable. Model predicted compositions are also used to allow the computation of stream enthalpies so that enthalpy balances can be used in the reconciliation. The use of model predicted values of changes in inventory allow dynamic material balances to be used, making the reconciliation much more effective for process with slow dynamic behavior. Weighting factor on sensors (106), computed based on the current value of the error of the sensor (106), reduce the impact of sensors (106) with high errors. A multiplicative correction factor distributes corrections more evenly among streams with large and small flows. Statistical behavior of historical performance of sensors (106) is used to reduce the adverse impact of rapid shifts in sensor accuracy and to detect unconverged reconciliation solutions.
