GateCycle simulator and its applications
Svoboda, Adam ; Ťok,, Pavel (oponent) ; Jegla, Zdeněk (vedoucí práce)
The major goal of this thesis is to get acquainted with General Electric Company GateCycle software and its subsequent application to simulate an industrial steam boiler producing 120 t of steam per hour. Thesis is designed in a form of teaching material which might be used in process engineering course focused on the simulation software. The first part of the thesis is dedicated to brief theory about simulation software and lists a few of the most well-known process engineering simulation programs. The second part is written in a form of GateCycle manual. It shortly introduces software workspace and interface, demonstrates how to build and run a simulation model, supply input data and make reports. The third part is practical, selected industrial steam boiler is presented and subsequently its simulation model is built. It is designed in a form of “step-by-step” guide explaining how to set up the boiler model and what data are input into specific process apparatus. Boiler is simulated in 3 regimes, using either natural gas, heavy fuel oil or tar heating oil as a fuel and it operates in slightly various process conditions. In the end, calculated fuel consumptions are compared to real operating data and accuracy of GateCycle software calculations is evaluated in these specific cases.
