NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.

Understanding Inductive Bias in Machine LearningSUTEJAS
This presentation explores the concept of inductive bias in machine learning. It explains how algorithms come with built-in assumptions and preferences that guide the learning process. You'll learn about the different types of inductive bias and how they can impact the performance and generalizability of machine learning models.
The presentation also covers the positive and negative aspects of inductive bias, along with strategies for mitigating potential drawbacks. We'll explore examples of how bias manifests in algorithms like neural networks and decision trees.
By understanding inductive bias, you can gain valuable insights into how machine learning models work and make informed decisions when building and deploying them.

9. Mechanical Energy: Is the total energy of a flowing fluid that can
be directly converted to work.
It is the sum of potential, kinetic, pressure and friction loss
energies.
Specific Work, Y:
It is the useful energy (work) that the machine transfers or can
transfer to the flow medium per unit mass of the fluid. The SI unit of
specific energy is J/kg or m2/s2.
The total head, H:
It is the specific energy transferred to the fluid divided by the
gravitational acceleration.
is the measure of the amount of useful energy (mechanical energy
or work) of the flow medium.
H= Y/g; Where:- H=Head, Y= Specific Work, g =gravitational acc.

Pulsation:-
The capacity of some fluid machines is not uniform, it
varies with time. Pulsation is this non uniformity of the
capacity fluid machines.
Priming:-
Some pumps require that the air in the suction line
should be replaced by liquid before they start
pumping. The process of replacing the air in the suction
pipe with liquid is known as priming.
Loss of Head:
is loss of the useful head of the flow medium due to
fluid friction or the turbulence that occurs when the
fluid passes an obstruction, sudden contraction or
sudden expansion, etc.

13. Pressure
Absolute pressure (static) of a fluid on a surface is the
normal force exerted by the fluid per unit area of the surface.
Gauge Pressure is the pressure above the atmospheric
pressure.
Absolute Pressure = Gauge Pressure + Atmospheric Pressure
Vacuum Pressure is the pressure below the atmospheric
pressure.
Absolute Pressure = Atmospheric Pressure - Vacuum Pressure

it is a common practice to move process liquids and utilities
from one place to another in which different unit operations
are involved in between.
E.g. In wine production
fermented wine is moved from tank to tank to separate the
clear wine from the unwanted settled mass.
Fermented wine from the cellar is filtered and sent to tanks in
the filling room.
From this temporary storage tank it should be pumped to the
filling machine.
This movement of liquid requires energy at each stage.

medium
where:- Y= The specific energy
P2 - P1= The static pressure difference between the suction
and discharge
c1, c2 = The average flow velocities at point 1 and 2
respectively.
e = the elevation difference between 1 and 2.

fittings like elbows, valves and losses due to sudden contraction and

There are various industrial processes that involve movement
of air and other gasses without significant increase in the static
pressure.
Ventilation and air conditioning, feeding of reactors, removal
of exhaust gases, feeding of drying air are some of these.
The machines used to transfer mechanical energy to gases at low
discharge pressure are known as fans. The calculation of total
pressure (specific energy requirement) and power requirement of
systems for moving gasses with fans is similar to pumps.
Fans
20. Example 1.1
Water at 200C should be pumped from Tank 1 to Tank 2 at the rate of
120m3/hr. All pipes in the system are with diameter of 0.1541m. The
total length of the straight pipe is 45m. Determine the specific
mechanical energy, head and power that should be transferred to the flow
medium to move the water. (Use water at 200C ρ =998.2 kg/m3 , μ=1.005
*10-3 Pa. s; and pipe roughness, ε=4.6 *10 -5 ,k of 900 elbow =0.64)
20
21. A fan is used to deliver 1300m3/min (measured at the inlet)
of methane. The specific energy requirement of the system is
calculated to be 5.4 kJ/kg. The inlet temperature and
pressure are 12oC and 100 kPa, respectively. Determine the
total pressure and the useful power that should be transferred
to the flow medium.
Example 1.2

22. Compressors and blowers
Compressed air is one of the most common utility in process
industries.
e.g. it is used for most automatic control systems and for cleaning,
pneumatic conveying.
In liquefaction of gasses and process that depend on them (like
separation) compression is a very important step.
Various gas phase reactions that take place at high pressures are
also core in some chemical production, like ammonia production.

Adiabatic Compression
Heat is not added to the system or
removed from the system
Types of Ideal
Compression

23. The adiabatic compression specific energy for compressing a
gas from a suction temperature T1 and pressure P1 is given by
Equation
Yad=The adiabatic compression specific energy requirement
R= Universal gas constant = 8314.3 J/kg K, T1=The suction temperature
M= Molecular weight of the gas to be compressed, P2= Final pressure
P1=Initial pressure, P1/P2= compression ratio
k=ratio of specific heats( for monatomic gases, its value is essentially constant
at 1.667 and many diatomic gases, including air, have a specific heat ratio of
about 1.4 at room temperature.)
Adiabatic Compression
23
24. For the same compression ratio and flow medium,
isothermal compression requires less compression
energy than adiabatic compression.
Isothermal Compression
carried out under T=const

25. Example 1.3
It is required to compress 0.02 k mol/s of air from 1 atm
and 250C to 6 atm. Calculate the specific energy
requirement and the compression power.(take Mwt of air
