CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

supplier to a manufacturer
to a shipper – to add a
verifiable record to an
item’s pedigree.
35. Blockchain and Retail: Four
Opportunities
2. Product Pedigree
This has applications like making it harder to pass off that Hermes or
Louis Vuitton bag as “genuine” when it’s not.
36. Blockchain and Retail: Four
Opportunities
3. B2B payments
One of the biggest
challenges for crypto-
currencies is acceptance as
a real currency. Banks
would have to be willing to
hold crypto-currencies as
deposits, and participate in
exchanging crypto-
currencies for cold, hard
cash.
37. Blockchain and Retail: Four
Opportunities
3. B2B payments
Blockchain is being proposed more in terms of “smart contracts”,
basically private blockchains that update automatically over time,

consumer goods (FMCG)
industry is another of an
increasing number of
sectors that are looking
to utilize emerging and
advanced technologies.
43. Disadvantages of blockchain in FMCG
Manufacturers depend
on traditional retailers
now more than ever, as
it is through their stores
that the FMCG giants
can show off their new
products
44. Blockchain enhancing the supply chain
Enables businesses and
consumers to constantly
be aware of and monitor
where an item is in the
Supply Chain.
45. Blockchain enhancing the supply chain
Businesses, big and
small, and individuals
are getting involved with
initiatives such as Coca
Cola’s recent World
Without Waste
campaign.
46. Blockchain enhancing the supply chain
Supply Chain industry can utilize blockchain to benefit sustainability, by
reducing counterfeit trade and increasing consumers awareness of where
exactly products are coming from – from food and coffee to luxury items
like diamonds, it will mean good things for both.
47. Blockchain enhancing the supply chain
Being used to digitally track
products on the move, for
quicker more transparent
tracking that is accessed and
updated continuously.
48. Blockchain enhancing the supply chain
Once this technology is widely used it will improve traceability and
efficiency and reduce administrative costs - particularly in larger Supply
Chain networks.
49. Brands and Blockchain
Walmart - Applying blockchain to a package of mangoes,
Walmart traced the fruit to its original source in two seconds,
something that could otherwise take weeks.
50. Brands and Blockchain
DeBeers – DeBeers uses blockchain to track gems
from the moment they’re excavated. The technology
can verify a diamond’s purity in a secure way, while
also ensuring it didn’t originate in conflict zones.
51. Brands and Blockchain
Amazon – The ecommerce juggernaut proves it also believes in blockchain’s
potential in marketing, supporting the integration of blockchain solutions
with systems built on AWS (Amazon Web Service).
52. Transforming the Relationship
between Brands and Customers
Consumers can trust the fact that their information is secure
and they have complete control and anonymity. Brands can
trust that the information is correct and unable to be falsified.
53. Transforming the Relationship
between Brands and Customers
Relevant sections of personal data held in the blockchain can be shared
with the right brands. The brands you trust would be held on the
blockchain.
54. Transforming the Relationship
between Brands and Customers
This could see major household purchases being shared with your
trusted brands that can let you know about associated services and
goods that are right for you, from insurance to cleaning tablets, while
you – the consumer – remain anonymous and in control.
55. Transforming the Relationship
between Brands and Customers
In the FMCG world, the blockchain might see consumers buy their
household products direct from P&G or Unilever rather than through a
supermarket.
56. Transforming the Relationship
between Brands and Customers
As ecommerce, powered by
optimization algorithms,
becomes the norm,
consumers may question
the value that retail
intermediaries provide over
and above the products
themselves.
57. Blockchain & IOT
Continuity of information: Through the immutable and irrevocable
properties of blockchain, sharing information effectively between the
different stakeholders involved in the global supply chain will be key to
ensure traceability and reduce inherent risks.
58. Blockchain & IOT
Accessibility to information: Fast and transparent blockchains will provide
the necessary access to information in the future to effectively leverage
on the massive amount of data produced along the supply chain.
59. Blockchain & IOT
Link between physical and information flows: Thanks to IoT, the data will
be linked to the materials and products on the stages of the supply chain
where matter is transformed physically.
60. Blockchain & IOT
Code of conduct violations and fraud detection: The need to ensure
human rights and codes of conduct are respected along the chain is
necessary to lower reputation risk.
61. Blockchain & IOT
Effective fraud detection processes supported by appropriate
technologies will be increasingly important to lower business risk. This
will be enabled by the transparent and auditable features of blockchain.
62. Building Trust in IOT
As things increase their connectivity and intelligence, so will our demand
for them to autonomously form networks, exchange information, and
coordinate action on our behalves.
63. Building Trust in IOT
Online purchases, for
example, we indirectly
call on a web
management system for
product placement and
pricing, a retailer, and a
last-mile delivery driver.
65. Technology Requirements
For IoT applications, most
information generated at the edge is
strongly qualitative; and once
information becomes qualitative, its
provenance – including the identity
and reputation of the source – is
critical.
67. Technology Requirements
Businesses don't like to share confidential data with competitors. Smart
contracts will be powerful tools in IoT, particularly in supply chains that
include third party logistics companies.
68. Technology Requirements
The ability to prove that the temperature of the container remained
within contract parameters should allow immediate trigger of payment
resolving finger pointing. And this proof must be constructed without
revealing additional confidential information.
70. Technology Requirements
Another core principle of
blockchain is redundant
compute and storage: every
participant processes all
transactions and maintains
the ledger, creating an ever-
growing demand for storage
across the network.
71. Technology Requirements
In IoT, where lightweight nodes at the edge frequently have extremely
limited storage and compute power, IoT blockchains will likely need to
recognize the variety of nodes in the network and their relative
capabilities.
73. Technology Requirements
There are many, many edge nodes which by design receive or send data
only intermittently and in small quantities that drive autonomous
interaction to the edge also require blockchains to accommodate
connectivity constraints.
77. Technology Requirements
A more troublesome example might occur when automatic payments
are triggered when a shipping container arrives at a facility. A faulty RFID
reader could report the existence of a container that has not actually
arrived triggering an inappropriate transfer of funds.
FAULTY
78. Technology Requirements
Personal information might
leak into a transaction; the
effect of GDPR and other
privacy regulations may
require that information be
removed from the record.
This problem is not unique to
IoT applications though we
expect it to be more
common in them.
79. Economic Requirements
With 3D-printing enabling distributed manufacturing, and barriers to
entry around machine learning, enterprises may be forced to adopt
more open systems.
80. Economic Requirements
The IoT industry is inevitably expanding into more complex ecosystems,
expecting compelling use cases for blockchain will become more
apparent.
81. Using Blockchain ToSecure IoT
The world is full of connected devices online all the time, each of those
devices–whether a voice-recognition personal assistant or a pay-by-
phone parking meter or a temperature sensor deep in an industrial
robot–will be vulnerable to a cyberattack and could even be part of one.
82. Using Blockchain ToSecure IoT
Today, many “smart” internet-connected devices are made by large
companies with well-known brand names, like Google, Apple, Microsoft
and Samsung, which have both the technological systems and the
marketing incentive to fix any security problems quickly..
83. Using Blockchain ToSecure IoT
But that’s not the case in the increasingly crowded world of smaller
internet-enabled devices, like light bulbs, doorbells and even packages
shipped by UPS.
84. Using Blockchain ToSecure IoT
Those devices–and their digital “brains”–are typically made by unknown
companies, many in developing countries, without the funds or ability–
or the brand-recognition need–to incorporate strong security features.
85. Using Blockchain ToSecure IoT
Insecure “internet of things” devices have already contributed to major
cyber-disasters, such as the October 2016 cyberattack on internet
routing company Dyn that took down more than 80 popular websites
and stalled internet traffic across the U.S.
86. Using Blockchain ToSecure IoT
The solution to this problem could be a new way of tracking and
distributing security software updates using blockchains.
87. The 5 Big Problems With Blockchain
1. Blockchain has an environmental cost
88. The 5 Big Problems With Blockchain:
Bitcoin – last year it was claimed that the computing power required to
keep the network running consumes as much energy as was used by 159
of the world’s nations.
89. The 5 Big Problems With Blockchain
Smaller scale blockchains – such as those that an organization may
deploy internally to securely monitor and record business activity –
would consume a fraction of that.
90. The 5 Big Problems With Blockchain:
It is an important consideration and the environmental implications as
well as the energy costs can’t be ignored.
91. The 5 Big Problems With Blockchain:
2. Lack of regulation creates a risky environment
92. The 5 Big Problems With Blockchain:
Scams and market
manipulation are
commonplace. Among the
high profile cases is
Onecoin – recently
revealed as a ponzi
scheme which is believed
to have robbed millions
from investors who
believed they were getting
in early on what would
become the “next Bitcoin”.
93. The 5 Big Problems With Blockchain:
Legislators have largely failed to keep pace with innovators (or
scammers), leading to rich pickings for those seeking to exploit “FOMO”
– the “fear of missing out”.
94. The 5 Big Problems With Blockchain:
3. Its complexity means end users find it hard to appreciate the benefits
95. The 5 Big Problems With Blockchain:
It takes a while, and a good bit of reading, before the “man on the
street” can see what makes blockchains potentially so useful.
96. The 5 Big Problems With Blockchain:
Middle-man facilities traditionally
provided by the financial services
industry – such as clearing payments
and fraud prevention are provided by
banks adequately well, at an
apparently low cost to the end user.
97. The 5 Big Problems With Blockchain:
4. Blockchains can be slow and cumbersome
98. The 5 Big Problems With Blockchain:
Due to their complexity and their encrypted, distributed nature,
blockchain transactions can take a while to process, certainly compared
to “traditional” payment systems such as cash or debit cards.
99. The 5 Big Problems With Blockchain:
Bitcoin transactions can take
several hours to finalize,
which means there are
inherent problems in the
idea that you will be able to
use them to pay for a cup of
coffee in your lunch hour,
unless the vendor is willing to
take on an element of risk.
100. The 5 Big Problems With Blockchain:
5. The “Establishment” has a vested interest in blockchain failing
101. The 5 Big Problems With Blockchain:
Despite the huge interest in
adopting blockchain technology
from the established financial
industry, the subtext behind
much of what is said about it is
“it would probably be better if it
just quietly disappeared.”
102. The 5 Big Problems With Blockchain:
Banks make huge amounts of profit from playing the middle-man role,
and because the cost is distributed among their millions of customers,
end users usually pay very little individually.
