Abstract

In this paper we discuss the increasing of power plant efficiency by enhancement the operation of the combustion chamber and controlling the amount of injected air to combustion chamber and the amount of fuel used to minimize the heat rate of the power plant and decrease the fuel consumption to reduce the amount of the exhaust produced from the operation, the gas optical sensor used to detect the amount of exhaust gases, the design , how it work and way of using output data from the sensor to control the operation and reduce the amount of exhaust produced for less heat rate and fuel consumption and more power plant efficiency.
