Different type of screening equipment and their application in chemical industryDesaiHardik1
Different type of screening equipment and their application in chemical industry. Screening equipment consists of a drive that induces vibration, a screen media that causes particle separation, and a deck that holds the screen media and the drive and is the mode of transport for the vibration. It is used during the mechanical screening processes, designed to separate one material from another. As the second part of the material handling process, screening equipment is used to separate raw material from a crusher or quarry into even finer grades, coming closer to an end product. There are two types of screens [wet and dry], totally dependent on the raw material. Wet screens utilize spray nozzles and water along with screen vibration in the sorting process, while dry screens use vibration only.

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.

Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. 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.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

1. UNIT OPERATIONS I
Ms. M. T. Rapoo,
Teaching Instructor; Block 109/002
Department of Chemical, Materials & Metallurgical Engineering
2. WHAT IS A UNIT OPERATION?
It is a basic step in a process involving a physical
change
Classes of Unit Operations
• Fluid flow processes – filtration and solids fluidization, settling
& sedimentation, mixing and agitation.
• Heat transfer processes – evaporation, and heat exchange
• Mass transfer processes – gas absorption, distillation, extraction,
adsorption, drying
• Thermodynamic processes – gas liquefaction, refrigeration
• Mechanical processes – solids transportation, crushing,
pulverisation, screening, sieving, froth flotation
3. A granular material is converted from a static solid-like state to a dynamic
fluid-like state. This process occurs when a fluid (liquid or gas) is passed up
through the granular material.
FLUIDIZATION
4. • The basic components required for a fluidized bed are a container, a
gas distributor, solid powder, and gas.
• Introduce a fluid at the bottom, upward at low linear velocities, there
is no movement.
• As the flow increases, frictional drag (FD) on the particles = their
weight (FG) less buoyancy (FB) (force exerted by a fluid that
opposes an object’s weight).
• As particles become rearranged and offer less resistance to flow, the
bed begins to expand.
• Expansion continues as the fluid linear velocity is increased,
reaching the loosest form of packing
• Further increase in velocity, results in the separation of individual
particles
FLUIDIZATION
5. The granular material is converted from a static packed bed to a dynamic
fluid-like state. This process occurs when a fluid (liquid or gas) is passed up
through the granular material at a particular velocity.
FLUIDIZATION
6. • Applied where intimate contact is required between solid
particles and a gas stream (fluid phase).
• Developed mainly for the chemical and petroleum
industries for processes where high heat transfer
coefficients and degree of temperature uniformity is
required.
• E.g.:
– Drying of finely divided solids is carried out in a fluidized
system.
– Applied also in pyrolysis and gasification processes
– Removal of suspended dusts and mists from gases
Applications of Fluidized Bed Techniques
7. • Application in mineral processing and metallurgical
engineering in the recovery of metals from ores.
– A good example is the gas phase extraction of metals, giving
high yields of recovery. A volatile organic reagent (eg.
acetylacetate) passes through the feed material and reacts
selectively with material to be extracted. The product is a volatile
metal complex which is removed from the residue gas by carrier
gas through absorption.
• One of the most important properties of a fluidized bed is
its good heat transfer characteristics and its ability to
handle particles with a wide size distribution.
Applications of Fluidized Bed Techniques

9. Particulate fluidization
• When fluid velocity is increased
the bed continues to expand and
maintains its uniform character.
• Average bed density at a given
velocity is the same in all
sections of the bed, characterized
by complete homogeneity.
• With gases particulate
fluidization only happens at low
velocities.
Fluidization Types
10. Aggregate fluidization
• Is observed at higher gas velocities
• It is characterized by a clear two-
phase structure.
• At high velocities two separate
phases may form.
- Dense or Emulsion –
continuous phase
- Lean or Bubble – is the
discontinuous phase
Fluidization Types
11. The Froude number distinguishes the two types of fluidization.

12. Effect of fluidized bed on pressure gradient
• As the superficial velocity
approaches umf the bed starts
to expand, at higher
velocities it becomes
fluidized.
• At higher velocities, voidage
is higher, pressure gradient
decreases because weight of
particles per unit bed is
smaller
• With even higher velocities
transport of the solid
particles occur and pressure
gradient increases.
If the pressure gradient (−∆P/l) is plotted against the superficial velocity (uc) using
logarithmic co-ordinates, a straight line of unit slope is obtained.
13. • A linear relationship
occurs up to point A where
expansion of the bed
starts.
• The pressure drop reaches
a maximum at point B.
• It then decreases to point
C
• Beyond point C, the
pressure drop is
independent of the
superficial velocity
Effect of fluidized bed on pressure drop
When pressure drop across the whole bed is plotted against velocity using
logarithmic coordinates.
14. Pressure drop
• When the gas velocity is high enough that the frictional drag force
on the particles equals the weight of the particles (m×g) the bed
becomes fluidized;
• -∆P is equal the bed weight per unit cross-sectional area.
• Thus, in a bed of unit cross-sectional area, length l, and porosity
e, the pressure drop across the bed caused by the layout weight of
particles is given by:
Where
l – is length of bed
e – porosity of the bed (fluid volume fraction of the bed)
- density of solid
- density of fluid
g – acceleration due to gravity
p
−∆𝑃 = 1 − 𝑒 𝜌𝑝 − 𝜌 𝑙𝑔 (1)
15. Pressure drop
• Equation (1) applies from the expansion of the bed until
transport/flight of solids occur.
• In a streamline flow in a fixed bed of spherical particles, the
following relation between fluid velocity uc and pressure
drop applies (Carman-Kozeny equation)
𝑢𝑐 = 0.0055
𝑒3
1 − 𝑒 2
−∆𝑃𝑑2

• For a fluidized bed, the weight of particles is
counterbalanced by frictional drag, substitute (1) into (2)

17. Minimum fluidizing velocity
• Equations (4) and (5) apply only at streamline flow and
they are therefore restricted to very fine particles only.
• For large particles, where streamline flow cannot be
achieved at incipient fluidization, the Ergun equation is
applied, equation (6).
−∆𝑃 = 1 − 𝑒 𝜌𝑝 − 𝜌 𝑙𝑔 (1)
