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!

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

• The characteristics of these valves can be accurately
predetermined by machining the taper of the plug.
• The typical example of plug valve is stopcock that is used in
laboratory glassware.

71. Butterfly valve
• It consists of a disc which can rotate inside the pipe.
• The angle of disc determines the restriction.
• Butterfly valve can be made to any size and is widely used
to control the flow of gas.
• Butterfly valves are favoured because of their lower cost
and lighter weight.
• The disc is always present in the flow therefore a pressure
drop is induced regardless of the valve position.

73. Ball Valve
• It valve uses a ball rotated inside a machined seat.
• The ball has a through hole as shown in figure.
• It has very less leakage in its shut-off condition.
• Ball valves are durable and work for many years.
• They are excellent choice for shutoff applications.
• They do not offer fine control which may be necessary in
throttling applications.
• These valves are widely used in industries because of
their versatility, high supporting pressures (up to 1000
bar) and temperatures (up to 250°C).
• They are easy to repair and operate.

75. • They are used to protect the hydraulic components from
excessive pressure.
• This is required for safe operation of the system.
• Its primary function is to limit the system pressure within a
specified range.
• It is normally a closed type
• Valve opens when the pressure exceeds a specified
maximum value by diverting pump flow back to the tank.
• Simplest valve contains a poppet held in a seat against the
spring force.

Pressure relief valve
76. • The fluid enters from the opposite side of the poppet.
• When the system pressure exceeds the preset value, the
poppet lifts and the fluid is escaped through the orifice to
the storage tank directly.
• It reduces the system pressure and as the pressure
reduces to the set limit again the valve closes.
• This valve does not provide a flat cut-off pressure limit with
flow rate because the spring must be deflected more when
the flow rate is higher.

78. Compressor:
• It is a mechanical device which converts mechanical
energy into fluid energy.
• The compressor increases the air pressure by reducing
its volume which also increases the temperature of the
compressed air.
• The compressor is selected based on the pressure it
needs to operate and the delivery volume.

79. Piston compressors
• The simplest form is single cylinder compressor.
• It produces one pulse of air per piston stroke.
• As the piston moves down during the inlet stroke the inlet
valve opens and air is drawn into the cylinder.
• As the piston moves up the inlet valve closes and the
exhaust valve opens which allows the air to be expelled.

81. Pneumatic components are designed for a maximum
operating pressure of 8 - 10 bar.
In practice it operate between 5 and 6 bar for economic use.
Due to the pressure losses in the distribution system the
compressor should deliver between 6.5 and 7 bar to attain
these figures.

governed by:
• Flow rate
• Line length
• Permissible pressure loss
• Operating pressure
• Number of flow control points in the line
