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.

Automobile Management System Project Report.pdfKamal Acharya
The proposed project is developed to manage the automobile in the automobile dealer company. The main module in this project is login, automobile management, customer management, sales, complaints and reports. The first module is the login. The automobile showroom owner should login to the project for usage. The username and password are verified and if it is correct, next form opens. If the username and password are not correct, it shows the error message.
When a customer search for a automobile, if the automobile is available, they will be taken to a page that shows the details of the automobile including automobile name, automobile ID, quantity, price etc. “Automobile Management System” is useful for maintaining automobiles, customers effectively and hence helps for establishing good relation between customer and automobile organization. It contains various customized modules for effectively maintaining automobiles and stock information accurately and safely.
When the automobile is sold to the customer, stock will be reduced automatically. When a new purchase is made, stock will be increased automatically. While selecting automobiles for sale, the proposed software will automatically check for total number of available stock of that particular item, if the total stock of that particular item is less than 5, software will notify the user to purchase the particular item.
Also when the user tries to sale items which are not in stock, the system will prompt the user that the stock is not enough. Customers of this system can search for a automobile; can purchase a automobile easily by selecting fast. On the other hand the stock of automobiles can be maintained perfectly by the automobile shop manager overcoming the drawbacks of existing system.

HEAT TRANSFER
By: Engr. Yuri G. Melliza
MODES OF HEAT TRANSFER
1. Conduction: It is the transfer of heat from one part of a body to another part of the same body, or from one body to another in
physical contact with it, without appreciable displacement of the particles of the body.
2. Convection: It is the transfer of heat from one point to another point within a fluid, gas, vapor, or liquid by
the mixing of some portion of the fluid with another.
A. Natural or Free Convection: the movement of the fluid is entirely caused by differences in density resulting from
temperature differences.
B. Forced Convection: the motion of the fluid is accomplished by mechanical means, such as a fan
or a blower.
3. Radiation: It is the transfer of heat from one body to another, not in contact with it, by means of "wave
motion" through space.

SAMPLE PROBLEMS
1. A composite wall is made up of an external thickness of brickwork 11 cm thick, inside which
is a layer of fiber glass 7.5 cm thick. The fiber glass is faced internally by an insulating
board 2.5 cm thick. The coefficient of thermal conductivity for the three are as follows;
Brickwork - 1.5 W/m-C
Fiber Glass -0.04 W/m-C
Insulating Board - 0.06 W/m-C
The surface transfer coefficient of the inside wall is 3.1 Wm2
-C while that of the outside
wall is 2.5 Wm2
-C. Determine the overall coefficient of heat transfer and the heat loss
through such a wall 6 m high and 10 m long. Take the internal ambient temperature as 10C
and the external temperature as 27C.
2. A furnace is constructed with 20 cm of firebrick, k = 1.36 W/m-K, 10 cm of insulating
brick, k = 0.26 W/m-K, and 20 cm of building brick, k = 0.69 W/m-K. The inside surface
temperature is 650C and the outside air temperature is 32 C. The heat loss from the
furnace wall is 0.56 W/m2
. Determine
a. the unit convective coefficient for the air W/m2
-K (3.545)
b. the temperature at 25 cm from the outside surface in C. (460 C)
3. A furnace wall consists of 20 mm of refractory fireclay brick, 100 mm of sil-ocel brick, and
6 mm of steel plate. The fire side of the refractory is at 1150C and the outside of the
steel is at 30C. An accurate heat balance over the furnace shows the heat loss from the
wall to be 300 W/m2
. It is known that there may be thin layers of air between the layers of
brick and steel. to how many mm of sil-o-cel are these air layers equivalent. (400 mm)
k = 1.52 W/m-C (fireclay)
k = 0.138 W/m-C (sil-ocel)
k = 4.5 W/m-C (steel)
4. A composite plane wall consisting of two layers of materials, 38 mm steel and 51 mm
aluminum, separates a hot gas at ti = 93 C; hi = 11.4 W/m2
-C, from a cold gas at to = 27C;
ho = 28.4 W/m2
-C. If the hot fluid is on the aluminum side, Find
a. the transmittance U in W/m2
-C (8)
b. the total resistance R in C -m2
/W (0.124)
c. the interface temperature at the junction of two metals in C (45)
d. the heat through 9.3 m2
of the surface under steady-state conditions. (4937)
5. A heat exchanger is to be designed to the following specifications:
