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.

3. Concept of Remote Sensing
Remote Sensing is defined as the science (and to some
extent art) of acquiring information about the objects of
interest without actually being in contact with it.
This is done by sensing
and recording reflected
or emitted energy and
processing, analyzing
and applying that
information.

Elements Involved in Remote Sensing
5. Energy Sources and Electromagnetic Radiation
All mater with a temperature above absolute zero (k)
radiates energy in the form of electromagnetic waves of
various wavelengths.
Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is a carrier of
electromagnetic energy by transmitting the oscillation of
the electro-magnetic field through space or matter.
6. Energy Sources and Electromagnetic Radiation
Two characteristics of electromagnetic radiation are
particularly important for understanding remote sensing.
These are the wavelength and frequency.
7. Energy Sources and Electromagnetic Radiation
• The wavelength is the length of one wave cycle, which
can be measured as the distance between successive
wave crests.
• Wavelength (λ) is measured in metres (m) or some
factor of metres such as micrometres (µm, 10-6
metres).
• Frequency refers to the number of cycles of a wave
passing a fixed point per unit of time.
• Frequency is normally measured in hertz (Hz),
equivalent to one cycle per second, and various
multiples of hertz.
• Electromagnetic energy can be modeled in two ways:
by wave wave motion and particle motion.
8. Wave Motion
EMR can be considered as a transverse wave with an
electric field and a magnetic field. The two fields are located
at right angles to each other.
108 m/s
c = velocity of EM energy (light) = 3
= wavelength [m]
= frequency [s-1 or Hz]
This equation explains that the shorter wavelength has
higher spectral frequency
9. Wave Motion
Each wave represents a group of particles with the same
frequency. All together they have different frequencies and
magnitudes.
With each wave, there is an electronic (E) component and a
magnetic component (M). The Amplitude (A) reflects the
level of the electromagnetic energy.
10. EMR can be treated as a photon or a light quantum. The
amount of energy held by a photon of a specific wavelength
is given by
E = h = h c /
where E = energy of a photon [J]
h = Plank's constant [6.6262 10-34 J s]
= frequency [Hz]
The longer the wavelength involved, the lower its energy
content
Gamma rays (wavelength is around 10-9 m) are the most
energetic and radio waves (> 1 m) the least energetic.
It is more difficult to measure the energy emitted in longer
wavelength than in shorter wavelength.
Particle Motion (Quantum Theory)
11. The total range of wavelengths is
commonly referred to as the
electromagnetic spectrum.
The electromagnetic spectrum ranges
from the shorter wavelengths (including
gamma and x-rays) to the longer
wavelengths (including microwaves and
broadcast radio waves).
The division of the spectral wavelength
is based on the devices which can be
used to observe particular types of
energy, such as thermal, shortwave
infrared and microwave energy.
Gamma-ray
X-ray
Ultraviolet (UV)
Visible light
Infrared (IR)

Electromagnetic Spectrum
12. Electromagnetic Spectrum
• Any matter with a body temperature greater than 0 K
emits electromagnetic energy. Therefore, it has a
spectrum.
• Furthermore, different chemical elements have
different spectra. They absorb and reflect spectral
energy differently.
• Different elements are combined to form compounds.
Each compound has a unique spectrum due to its
unique molecular structure.
• This is the basis for remote sensing in discriminating
one matter from the other.
• Spectrum of a material is like the finger print of
human being.
13.
14. Electromagnetic spectrum used in remote sensing
Microwave:
The spectral range of near IR and short wave infrared is
sometimes called the reflective infrared (0.7-3 m) because the
range is more influenced by solar reflection rather than the emission
from the ground surface.
In the thermal infrared region, emission from the ground surface
dominates the radiant energy with little influence from solar
reflection.
Near UV(ultra-violet):
Visible light:
0.3-0.4 m
Blue: 0.4-0.5 m
Green: 0.5-0.6 m
Red: 0.6-0.7 m
Near IR: 0.7-1.3 m
Shortwave IR: 1.3-3 m
Thermal IR: 8-14 m
1 mm - 1 m

their own EMR, bounce it off the
Earth’s surface and measure the EMR
returned
How is EMR used in Remote Sensing
Three main ‘models’ of how EMR is used in Remote Sensing
Passive
Active
18. Interactions of EM Radiation with the Atmosphere
The most important source of energy is the Sun. Before the
Sun’s radiation reaches the Earth's surface it has to travel
through some distance of the Earth's atmosphere.
The composition of the atmosphere is thus of importance in
remote sensing because EMR must pass through it in order to
reach the Earth’s surface.
19. Interactions of EM Radiation with the Atmosphere
The atmosphere also contains
particles with a range of sizes
and sources which are of great
importance in remote sensing.
Composition of the atmosphere
Component Percentage
N2 78.08
O2 20.94
Ar 0.93
CO2 0.0314
O3 0.00000004
20. Interactions of EM Radiation with the Atmosphere
EMR interacts with particles and gases in the
atmosphere. Three processes serve to attenuate the
signal we are trying to detect
1.Scattering: Redirection of EMR from its original path
2.Absorption: Retention of EMR by molecules in the
atmosphere
3. Refraction: Passing of EMR through the atmosphere
21. Scattering occurs when particles or
large gas molecules present in the
atmosphere interact with and cause
the electromagnetic radiation to be
redirected from its original path.
Scattering depends on several factors
including the
-Wavelength of the radiation,
- Abundance of particles or gases, and
-Distance the radiation travels through the
atmosphere.
For visible wavelengths, 100 % (in case of cloud cover) to 5
% (in case of clear atmosphere) of energy received by the
sensor is directly contributed by the atmosphere.
22. There are three types of scattering which take place:
Rayleigh scattering
Mie scattering and
Non-selective scattering
23. Rayleigh scattering
Diameter of particles << wavelength of EMR (small specks
of dust or N2 and O2)
Rayleigh scattering causes shorter wavelengths of energy to
be scattered much more than longer wavelengths.
Rayleigh scattering is the dominant scattering mechanism in
the upper atmosphere.
The fact that the sky appears "blue" during the day is
because of this phenomenon.
24. Mie scattering
Diameter of particles = wavelength of EMR (Dust, smoke
and water vapor)
Dust, smoke and water vapour are common causes of Mie
scattering which tends to affect longer wavelengths than
those affected by Rayleigh scattering.
Mie scattering occurs mostly in the lower portions of the
atmosphere where larger particles are more abundant,
and dominates when cloud conditions are overcast.
25. Nonselective scattering
Diameter of particles >> wavelength of EMR (Water
droplets and large dust particles)
This occurs when the particles are much larger than the
wavelength of the radiation. Water droplets and large dust
particles can cause this type of scattering.
Nonselective scattering gets its name from the fact that all
wavelengths are scattered about equally.
26. Absorption is the other main mechanism when
electromagnetic radiation interacts with the atmosphere.
In contrast to scattering, this phenomenon causes
molecules in the atmosphere to absorb energy at various
wavelengths.
Three main atmospheric
constituents which absorb
radiation are-
1. Ozone (O3)
2. Carbon dioxide (CO2)
3. Water vapor (H2O)
27. Ozone absorbs the harmful (to most living things)
ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
Carbon dioxide absorbs radiation strongly in the far
infrared portion of the spectrum - that area associated with
thermal heating - which serves to trap this heat inside the
atmosphere.
Water vapor in the atmosphere absorbs much of the
incoming longwave infrared and shortwave microwave
radiation.
Absorption
28. Absorption
Parts of the EM spectrum are heavily affected by scattering
and absorption and useless for remote sensing, other parts
are less affected and useful
29. Atmospheric transmission expressed as percentage
Transmission
The remaining amount of energy after being absorbed and
scattered by the atmosphere is transmitted.
30. Atmospheric Windows
It refers to the relatively transparent wavelength regions
of the atmosphere.
The wavelengths at which EMR are partially or wholly
transmitted through the atmosphere are known as
atmospheric windows.
Atmospheric windows Wavelength (m)
Upper UV – photographic IR 0.3 – 1(approx.)
Reflected IR 1.3, 1.6, 2.2
Thermal IR 3-5, 8-14
Microwave >5000
32. Interactions of EM Radiation with the Earth’s Surface
Radiation that is not absorbed or scattered in the atmosphere
can reach and interact with the Earth's surface.
What will happen when the EM energy reaches the Earth
surface? The answer is that the total energy will be broken
into three parts: reflected, absorbed, and/or transmitted.
33. Interactions of EM Radiation with the Earth’s Surface
When electromagnetic energy is incident on any given earth
surface feature, three fundamental energy interactions are
possible. These are:
1. Absorption (A)
2. Transmission (T)
3. Reflection (R)
The proportions of each will depend on the
- wavelength of the energy,
- angle at which the radiation intersects with the surface and
- roughness of the material and condition of the feature.
34. Interactions of EM Radiation with the Earth’s Surface
Reflection
Two types of reflection, which represent the two extreme
ends of the way in which energy is reflected from a target are:
1. Specular reflection
2. Diffuse reflection.
35. Specular or mirror like reflection,
typically occurs when surface is
smooth and all (or almost all) of the
energy is directed away from the
surface in a single direction.
Interactions of EM Radiation with the Earth’s Surface
36. Diffuse or Lambertian reflection
occurs when the surface is rough
and the energy is reflected
almost uniformly in all directions.
Interactions of EM Radiation with the Earth’s Surface
37. Interactions of EM Radiation with the Earth’s Surface
Whether a particular target reflects specularly or diffusely, or
somewhere in between, depends on the surface roughness
of the feature in comparison to the wavelength of the
incoming radiation.
If the wavelengths are much smaller than the surface
variations or the particle sizes that make up the surface,
diffuse reflection will dominate.
For example, fine-grained sand would appear fairly smooth to
long wavelength microwaves but would appear quite rough to
the visible wavelengths
38. Spectral Reflectance Curve
The reflectance characteristics of earth surface
feature may be quantified by measuring the
portion of incident energy (Irradiance) that is
reflected (Radiance).
This energy is measured as a function of
wavelength and is called spectral reflectance.
It is defined as:
Reflectance Rs
I
Reflectance ranges from 0 to 1 or 0 to 100%. Equipment to
measure reflectance is called spectrometer
A graph of spectral reflectance as a function of wavelength is
termed as spectral reflectance curve
39. Vegetation: A chemical
compound in leaves called
chlorophyll strongly absorbs
radiation in the red and blue
wavelengths but reflects green
wavelengths.
The internal structure of healthy leaves act as excellent
diffuse reflectors of near-infrared wavelengths.
Spectral Reflectance of Healthy Vegetation
41. Spectral Reflectance of Bare Soil
The surface reflectance from bare soil depends on many
factors such as color, moisture content, presence of
carbonate and iron oxide content.
Refelectance spectra of surface samples of five mineral soils, (a) organic
dominated, (b) minimally dominated, (c) iron altered, (d) organic affected and (e)
iron dominated
42. Spectral Reflectance of Water
Water: Longer wavelength
visible and near infrared
radiation is absorbed more by
water than shorter visible
wavelengths.
Water typically looks blue or blue-green due to
stronger reflectance at these shorter wavelengths, and
darker if viewed at red or near infrared wavelengths.
43. Spectral Reflectance of Water
Typical effects of chlorophyll and sediment on water reflectance: (a) Ocean
water, (b) turbid water and (c) water with chlorophyll
Compared to vegetation and soils water has lower
reflectance.
Vegetation may reflect up to 50%, soils up to 30-40% while
water reflect at most 10% of the incoming radiation.
Beyond 1.2um, all energy is absorbed.
44.
45. Blue Green Red Infrared
By measuring the energy that is
reflected (or emitted) by targets on
the Earth's surface over a variety of
different wavelengths, it is possible
to build up a spectral response for
that object.
By comparing the response patterns
of different features we may be able
to distinguish between them.
