Abstract

This paper describes the mathematical modelling of an Integrated Recycle Heat Exchanger in a 300 MW Circulating Fluidized Bed Boiler currently in operation in the Northside Power Generation Plant of JEA. Numerical data were collected from the operation. The data were used in the development and training of regression and neural network models for the Integrated Recycle Heat Exchanger. The performance of the regression and neural network models were compared using five different criteria. The findings were described in this paper. Minor differences between the performances of these models were also discussed.
