CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
ย
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.

The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.
Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya

Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Permissible loading on the shaft
The following table shows permissible radial forces on the
shaft in Newtons, assuming zero axial force, a 25 ยฐC ambi-
ent temperature, and normal conditions. The values are given
for a calculated bearing life of 20 000 and 40 000 hours per
motor size.
These calculated values further assume mounting position
IM B3 (foot-mounted), with force directed sideways. In some
cases, the strength of the shaft affects permissible forces.

Roller bearing at D-end.
x = Available, s = Standard feature
This code changes the drive end ball bearing to a roller bearing. Roller bearings are accommodated to high radial
forces e.g. belt drives. Roller bearings do not withstand axial forces at all and in vertical application it might
require special bearing arrangements also for the non-drive end. Please check also if the shaft end dimension is
suitable for the stress generated by the radial force, this can be done with the software program Bearings
(included in DriveSize).
This code includes VC036 (transport lock for bearing) and VC041 (bearings regreasable via grease nipples)
on 160 โ 450 frame sizes.
NOTE!
In sizes 071-132 this code includes VC036 but not VC041, we only fill up the NU bearing with grease.

This changes the drive end (D-end) ball bearing to a roller bearing. Roller bearings are used to accommodate high radial forces
on applications such as belt drives. Roller bearings are not able to accommodate axial forces and in vertical applications may
require special bearings to be fitted to the non-drive end. The shaft must also be checked to ensure that it is can cope with the

Heat resistant grease.
This is to be used in order to prolong the re-greasing interval on re-greasable motors as well as prolonging the lifetime
of sealed bearings.
By using this, the re-greasing interval / bearing lifetime (sealed bearings) can be doubled compared to standard grease.
For every +15C increase of bearing temperature (ambient) the lifetime / re-greasing interval should be halved.
When the heat resistant grease option is ordered re-greaseble motors are provided with Klรผber Quiet BQH 72-102 grease.

1. Over-heating
FAQs
Excessive starts are a major
cause of over-heating.
During start-up a motor typically sees between 6 to 8 times its rated current.
This increases the thermal status of the motor, increases
thermal stress on the windings and can cause failure.
PTC Thermistors are a common protection method to protect
against over-heating.
Thermistors have a positive temperature coefficient meaning
that the resistance is increasing rapidly around the trip
temperature. Connected to a thermistor relay this will trip
preventing over-heating. Normal operating conditions will not
cause this to happen.

Heating element 200 - 240V.
This includes heating element(s). Heating elements are used to heat the coils of the stator winding when the motor is not
running to prevent moisture from condensing on the surface of the stator coils. When the stator coils are kept just a few
degrees warmer than the stator frame, moisture from the air will condensate on the surface of the stator frame instead of on
the coils. The difference in temperature inside and outside the motor will also cause over-pressure that keeps humidity outside.
Variant code execution
The motor can be equipped with heating elements either at one or at both ends depending on the motor size.
Please refer to product catalogues for more information about power of heating resistors and number of heaters required.
Position of the heating element
The heating element is tied around the end-coil, see figure 1.

Variant code: 072
Radial seal at D-end (for 2-pole 280 and 315).
A radial seal is mainly used to prevent oil, water or other liquid (or dust) entering into the motor.
Important: This option is suitable for oil or water splash only. In cases of presence of water it is important to make sure that the
seal is lubricated. If the motor shaft will be under constant exposure to oil please use variant code 073. If there will be constant
exposure to water please consult your ABB office.
The radial seal is more suitable for motors with smaller shaft diameters as a bigger shaft diameter will increase the angle
speed (the speed of a point on the surface) when the shaft rotates. The radial shaft seal prevents ingress of foreign bodies by
remaining in constant contact with the shaft of the motor. An increase in the angle of speed leads to higher friction between the
shaft and the seal and increases the seal temperature. This shortens the life of the seal and is the reason why the radial seal is
not available for 2-pole 280 and 315 frames as well as 355 frames or larger. A radial shaft seal also always needs to be greased
and should never be allowed to run dry.

783 Labyrinth sealing at D-end
This includes labyrinth sealing at the drive end, a special seal ring and a special outer bearing cover. The labyrinth seal prevents
water from penetrating into the motor along the shaft. The protection class of the labyrinth seal is IP66. Labyrinth sealing is
recommended for all motors used outdoors with a shaft end facing upwards.

Light alloy metal fan.
ABB uses plastic or glass fiber re-enforced plastic fans as standard. As an alternative to that a fan made in aluminum alloy is
also offered. For applications where the ambient temperature is below -20o
C or over +55o
C this is mandatory (low temperature
makes the fan fragile and high temperature makes the soft wings bend). Also for speed higher than the nominal speed of the
standard motor (in variable-speed drive applications) it might be necessary to change the fan. The maximum allowed fan speed
for each motor type can be defined with the help of DriveSize program.
Example of fans

Tips
Starting time is a function
of load torque, inertia
and motor torque. As the
starting current is always
very much higher than the
rated current, an excessively
long starting period will
cause a harmful temperature
rise in the motor.

Technical Tips
How can I protect a motor from a stalled condition?
A stalling relay should be used. The most common type of stall
protection uses a relay, which uses the principles of a standard
thermal relay but operates faster.
By passing a portion of the motor current directly through
bimetallic elements in the relay, heating is immediate, just as it
would be experienced in the windings of the motor.
This makes the stalling relay act quickly to protect the motor.

1. Misalignment
Technical FAQs
Mechanical alignment:
Experience has shown that
any base-mounted assembly
of motor and driven load, no
matter how rugged or deep
in section, may twist out of
alignment during shipping or
moving, and that alignment
by eye is ineffective. Proper
alignment of direct-coupled
drives can be accomplished
by a dial-indicator,
laser, or computerised
instrumentation.
Parallel misalignment:
This is the offset between
the centrelines of the
two shafts. This can be
determined by mounting
a dial indicator on one
coupling half with the
indicator probe bearing
radially on the other
coupling half, and then
rotating both shafts together
through 360 degrees.
Angular misalignment:
This is the amount by which the faces
of the two coupling halves are out of
parallel. This may be determined by
mounting a dial indicator on one coupling
hall with the indicator probe on the face
of the other half, and then rotating both
shafts together through 360 degrees to
determine any variation in reading. During
this check, you must keep the shaft of
a motor with endplay against its thrust
shoulder and the shaft of a driven load
with endplay against its thrust shoulder
to prevent false readings due to shaft
movements in the axial direction.
