1. Supercritical boilers operate above the critical pressure of water (221 bar), where there is no distinction between water and steam.
2. Operating above the critical pressure provides benefits like higher cycle efficiency, lower fuel consumption and emissions, and improved load change flexibility compared to subcritical boilers.
3. The key difference between subcritical and supercritical boilers is that supercritical boilers are drumless, with evaporation occurring in a single pass and flow induced by the feed pump rather than natural circulation.
Ash Handling System of a Thermal Power PlantAmay Jain
This document describes an ash handling system in a thermal power plant. It discusses the different components of the system including the bottom ash handling system, coarse ash handling system, fly ash handling system and ash slurry disposal system. Ash is generated during coal combustion and constitutes 30-40% of the total coal consumption. The ash handling system ensures the ash is properly managed, utilized or disposed of.
Older FCC units had discrete dense-phase catalyst beds in the reactor vessel where most cracking occurred. Newer units maximize riser cracking by operating with minimum bed levels and controlling circulation rates. After adopting more reactive zeolite catalysts, units were modified to increase riser cracking for better control and selectivity. FCC units produce high liquid yields and convert heavy feeds to lighter products using optimized catalysts, hardware, and operating conditions. Regenerators burn coke from spent catalyst to regenerate activity levels while newer designs aim to fully burn coke to CO2.

It produces hydrogen at high efficiency and is the lowest cost production method currently available. However, it also produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct. Newer steam reforming plants use pressure swing absorption to produce 99.99% pure hydrogen. While steam reforming is an efficient process, it contributes to carbon dioxide emissions, so methods to capture and store the CO2 are being investigated.
The document discusses the ash handling system at NTPC Dadri power plant. It has three types of ash handling systems: bottom ash, air preheater ash, and fly ash. Bottom ash is collected in hoppers under the furnace and transported to ash ponds in slurry form after grinding. Fly ash is captured by the air preheater, economizer, and ESP and stored in silos. The ashes are then mixed with water to form slurry and pumped via pipelines to the ash disposal site. Proper ash handling is required as thermal power plants produce a large amount of ash as a byproduct of coal combustion.

It explains why pulverized fuel is used and classifications of mills based on speed. The key types of coal pulverizers - tube/ball mills, vertical spindle mills, and impact mills - are outlined.

Feedwater heaters are used in steam power plants to pre-heat water delivered to boilers. They work by using extracted steam from turbine stages to gradually heat feedwater up to saturation temperature. This improves efficiency by reducing costs and preventing thermal shock to boiler metal. Feedwater heaters come in open and closed designs, with open designs mixing extracted steam directly into feedwater and closed using heat exchangers. Their use recovers some energy from steam and optimizes the balance between extracted steam and turbine power output.
A boiler is a device that generates steam by transferring heat from burning fuel to water. There are two main types: fire-tube boilers where hot gases pass through tubes surrounded by water, and water-tube boilers where water passes through tubes surrounded by hot gases. Boilers have many applications including power generation, heating, and industrial processes. Key factors in boiler selection include required steam properties, size, cost, and fuel/water availability. Boilers are also classified based on design features such as tube layout, firing method, pressure, and circulation.

This document discusses alternative fuels that can be used in engines, including alcohols, vegetable oils, biodiesel, biogas, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and hydrogen. It provides information on producing some of these fuels and their properties. When used in engines, some alternative fuels like alcohols have higher compression ratios and produce fewer emissions than gasoline but have lower energy content. The document also discusses modifications needed for engines running on different alternative fuels and presents data on performance and emissions of engines using various alternative fuels.
The document discusses different types of thermodynamic systems and their characteristics. It defines closed, open, and isolated systems based on whether they allow for mass and/or energy transfer with their surroundings. An adiabatic system exchanges work but not heat, while a homogeneous system consists of a single phase and a heterogeneous system consists of multiple phases. Any process that returns a system to its initial state is considered a cycle. Reversible processes occur through continuous equilibrium states while irreversible processes occur through non-equilibrium states. Temperature is proportional to the average molecular kinetic energy. Work is the product of a force and distance of displacement, and heat is something that flows due to a temperature difference between a system and its surroundings.
The document summarizes three regimes of boiling - purely convective boiling where liquid slowly rises from the heated surface, nucleate boiling where vapor bubbles form and detach from nucleation sites on the surface, and film boiling where a vapor film covers the entire surface. It also discusses two types of condensation - film wise where a continuous liquid film forms, and drop wise where small liquid droplets form randomly. Finally, it introduces heat exchangers as devices that transfer heat between two fluids through a separating solid barrier.

Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniquesnooriasukmaningtyas
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.

The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming PipelinesChristina Lin
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking.
