DYNAMIC DETERMINATION OF QUANTITY AND CAPACITY IN THE FUEL TANKS
An approach is proposed for determining the amount of fuel in fuel tanks based on primary production data. A mathematical model of the amount of fuel in tanks is used. The use of the model is applicable for calculating the amount of fuel in static states, such as operations to remove full-scale residues. With multiple operational calculations of the mass of fuel with a small time interval (if it is actually changed, for example, as a result of filling or evacuation out the tank), the resulting mass values can be interpreted as the fuel mass flow in the pipeline, i.e. As an alternative to the meter reading. The method is of interest for heat-and-power engineering plants, since it allows simulating fuel consumption in tons (mass) and in tons of equivalent fuel (energy value).
