When aqueous ammonia (NH4OH) is added to a solution containing Cu2+ ions, it reacts as follows:
Cu2+ ions have vacant orbitals that can accept electron pairs from the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atoms of four ammonia molecules. This leads to the formation of a complex ion called tetraamine copper(II) ion [Cu(NH3)4]2+.
The [Cu(NH3)4]2+ ion is deep blue in color due to d-d transitions within the copper ion. So when ammonia solution is added to copper sulfate solution, a deep blue colored solution of [Cu(NH3)4]2+ is obtained.

Adaptive synchronous sliding control for a robot manipulator based on neural ...IJECEIAES
Robot manipulators have become important equipment in production lines, medical fields, and transportation. Improving the quality of trajectory tracking for
robot hands is always an attractive topic in the research community. This is a
challenging problem because robot manipulators are complex nonlinear systems
and are often subject to fluctuations in loads and external disturbances. This
article proposes an adaptive synchronous sliding control scheme to improve trajectory tracking performance for a robot manipulator. The proposed controller
ensures that the positions of the joints track the desired trajectory, synchronize
the errors, and significantly reduces chattering. First, the synchronous tracking
errors and synchronous sliding surfaces are presented. Second, the synchronous
tracking error dynamics are determined. Third, a robust adaptive control law is
designed,the unknown components of the model are estimated online by the neural network, and the parameters of the switching elements are selected by fuzzy
logic. The built algorithm ensures that the tracking and approximation errors
are ultimately uniformly bounded (UUB). Finally, the effectiveness of the constructed algorithm is demonstrated through simulation and experimental results.
Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controller is effective with small synchronous tracking errors, and the chattering phenomenon is
significantly reduced.

This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

When neutron induced fission of 235U and 239Pu occurs, 2 to 3 neutrons of
high energy generated.
In thermal reactor, energy of fission neutrons are thermalised. Thermal
neutrons propagate the controlled chain reaction.
In a fast reactor, high energy neutrons are used in fission process. No
moderation of neutron energy is allowed Hence no hydrogen bearing
materials (eg H2O) allowed.
Coolant of a FBR should be poor moderator.
Fast reactor fuel contains large quantities of either 235U and/or 239Pu
Expensive fuel.
Hence power rating (i.e. extraction of power) should be high.
So a coolant of extraordinary
heat transfer characteristics
needed.

14. Reactivity of sodium metal
Instantaneously reacts with moisture in air. Forms NaOH and
hydrogen gas.
NaOH absorbs CO2 in air and forms NaHCO3 and Na2CO3.
Reaction is highly
exothermic. Unattended
exposure to humid air
can lead to fire.
NaOH(s) + CO2(g) NaHCO3(s)
Na(s) + H2O(g) NaOH(s) + 1/2 H2(g)
15. Instantaneously reacts with
moisture in air. Forms NaOH and
hydrogen gas.
NaOH absorbs CO2 in air and
forms NaHCO3 and Na2CO3.
If left in air with low humidity, a thick
layer of NaHCO3, NaOH and Na2CO3 is
formed
16. Reaction with oxygen Highly exothermic
Reaction with oxygen in air
4Na(l) + O2(g) 2Na2O(s) H = - 9459 kJ per kg of Na
2Na(l) + O2(g) Na2O2(s) H = -11279 kJ per kg of Na
Subsequently products react with water vapour and CO2 in air
Na2O(s) + H2O(g) 2NaOH(s/l)
2Na2O2(s) + 2H2O(g) 4NaOH(s/l) + O2(g)
Na2O(s) + CO2(g) Na2CO3(s)
17. Nitrogen does not readily react with sodium and its solubility in sodium
is extremely low (ppb levels) – solubility similar to that of argon in
sodium and is pressure dependent (directly proportional).
(Though sodium azide Na3N is known, it decomposes on its contact with
liquid sodium)
Why nitrogen is not preferred as cover gas ?
Chromium, manganese and molybdenum can form very stable nitrides.
Though nitrogen is almost insoluble in sodium, nitridation of steel can
occur at the sodium-nitrogen interfaces.
(Sodium removes the passive Cr2O3 layer and exposes active metal surface)

Would need several passes to
achieve levels dictated by
solubility (even if there is no
steady leak into the system)

(Electrodes of carbon are used as anode in Down’s cell)
Carbon is an interstitial alloying element in structural
steels.
300 series SS have a carbon content range of 0.03 to
0.08 wt%. Change in this conc. Would severely affect

Sodium from Indian sources have around 15 to 20 ppm of total carbon
(solubility at around 500oC ~ 1ppm)

Dissolution kinetics of products into sodium:
TNa > 450oC : Fast Instantaneous increase of H
level in sodium

TNa < 250oC : Slow Gaseous H2 escapes into cover gas
Leak detection by Cover Gas Hydrogen Sensor
40. Regeneration of cold traps:
Oxygen impurity (Constant source: Impurities in argon cover gas)
Hydrogen impurity ( steam side corrosion, steam leak and oil leak)
Purification of cold trap should remove oxygen and hydrogen impurities.
Saturation of the cold trap, reduces its efficiency.
Can lead to flow blockage also.

47. Fuel-coolant chemical interaction
In case of a breach of the clad, sodium would come into contact with fuel.
Carbide and metallic fuels are quite compatible with sodium.
In fact sodium bonded carbide fuels have been tested in
Germany.
Oxide fuel, (U,PuO2) with O/M ratio < 2 (~ 1.97 – 1.98) is used.
In the reactor, O/M redistributes.
O/M at the clad boundary is 2 and is lower at the centre.
Sodium reacts with the fuel to yield Na3MO4(s) [ M= U,Pu]
Low density material.
In case of a pin hole, this product can block the pin hole.
In case of a large breach of clad, this can escalate the extent of reaction.

205oC in dry air
320oC in damp air
Ignition temp. reduction under
stirred condition
Reaction is highly
exothermic. Unattended
exposure to humid air can
lead to fire.
50. Sodium fire is different from oil fire
Burns only on the surface
Produces dense white smoke (Na2O, Na2O2, NaOH and Na2CO3)
51. Spray fires
Sodium leaks out as jet & hits the ceiling/walls of the containment cell
Shower of sodium droplets falling downwards
Small droplets and hence the burning area high
Burning rate higher than in pool fires
Types of Sodium Fires
Pool fires
