Coal is composed primarily of carbon along with variable quantities of other elements, chiefly hydrogen, sulphur, oxygen, nitrogen. Ultimate analysis is also known as elemental analysis, it is the method to determine the Carbon,Hydrogen,Nitrogen,Sulphur and Oxygen content present in solid fuel.
In coal fired power plants coal is a main fuel for combustion purpose. Before use of coal different tests are to be carried out to analysis the constituent elements and some undesirable contamination in the coal. Discuss the analysis procedures of the coal.
The analysis of coal is as follows C=82%, H=6%,O2=4% and remaining is ash. Determine the amount of theoretical air required for complete combustion. If the actual air supplied is 40% in excess and 80% of given carbon is burnt to CO2 and remaining is CO. Conduct the volumetric analysis of dry products of combustion.
Microbial catalysis of syngas fermentation into biofuels precursors - An expe...Pratap Jung Rai
Search for environment-friendly sustainable energy sources is of global interest due to continuous depletion of fossil fuels resources and excessive carbon dioxide emissions. Syngas fermentation is one of the promising sustainable alternative for liquid biofuel and chemical production from energy content wastes/byproducts. This study mainly focuses on acetic acid and ethanol production via fermentation, using hydrogen and carbon dioxide as substrates to mimic syngas. A laboratory scale, batch fermentation was performed at different headspace pressure ranged from 0.29 to 1.51 bar, 1200 rpm stirrer speed, and 22±1.4ºC.
Formation of acetic acid and ethanol were found significant. The maximum acetic acid concentration 68 mmol/L was obtained at 1176 hours and 1.12 bar headspace pressure. However, maximum ethanol concentration of 15 pA*s was found at 1297 hours and 1.51 bar headspace pressure. Ethanol consumption was observed during first 553 hours. Maximum H2 consumption rate was 0.153 mmol/h•gVS during 478-527 hours at 1.12 bar headspace pressure, which was 51 times higher than that obtained during first 71 hours at 0.29 bar headspace pressure (0.003 mmol/h• gVS). The total consumed hydrogen gas measure as COD (CODHydrogen) was equivalent to the increase in bulk liquid COD, 11.02 gCOD and 11.44 gCOD; in which 68% of CODHydrogen was converted to acetic acid (7.44 gCOD). A significant influence of headspace pressure and dissolved hydrogen concentration were observed on the volumetric mass (H2) transfer coefficient (kLa) and the solubility of hydrogen in the inoculum (CH). The maximum kLa and CH of 0.082 h-1 (R2 = 0.995) and 1.2 10-3 mol/L were found at 1.12 bar headspace pressure and 89 mmol/L dissolved hydrogen concentration, respectively. The calculated biomass yields ranged from 0.001-0.066 and 0.001-0.059 gVSS/gCOD, for acetic acid and ethanol formation, respectively, when the assumption of free energy efficiency use in growth was changed from 0.1 to 1.
Acetic acid and ethanol were dominant final product whereas other organic acids were almost constant and insignificant throughout the experiment. This implies that the microbial fermentation of hydrogen and carbon dioxide at headspace pressure ranged from 0.29-1.51 bar, 1200 rpm stirrer speed, and 22±1.4ºC, can be performed with digested food waste sludge for efficient acetic acid and ethanol production.

Episode 3 : Production of Synthesis Gas by Steam Methane Reforming
History of Synthesis Gas
In 1780, Felice Fontana discovered that combustible gas develops if water vapor is passed over carbon at temperatures over 500 °C. This CO and H2 containing gas was called water gas and mainly used for lighting purposes in the19th century.
As of the beginning of the 20th century, H2/CO-mixtures were used for syntheses of hydrocarbons and then, as a consequence, also called synthesis gas.
Haber and Bosch discovered the synthesis of ammonia from H2 and N2 in 1910 and the first industrial ammonia synthesis plant was commissioned in 1913.
The production of liquid hydrocarbons and oxygenates from syngas conversion over iron catalysts was discovered in 1923 by Fischer and Tropsch.
Much of the syngas conversion processes were being developed in Germany during the first and second world wars at a time when natural resources were becoming scare and alternative routes for hydrogen production, ammonia synthesis, and transportation fuels were a necessity.
In 1943/44, this was applied for large-scale production of artificial fuels from synthesis gas in Germany.
Thermodynamic modeling and experimental study of rice husk pyrolysiseSAT Journals
Abstract Pyrolysis of agricultural waste is a promising route for waste to energy generation. Rice husk is a type of agro-waste that is available in plenty in India. It can be used as feed for pyrolysis to produce different products such as (solid) coke and silica, (liquid) tar and other organics and syngas. HSC Chemistry computer aided code for thermodynamic modeling was used to predict the products of rice-husk pyrolysis in this research study. The pyrolysis of rice husk was carried out between 100-1200°C in the pressure range of 1 – 15 bar. The pyrolysis products predicted by HSC calculations were mainly solid coke, gases like H2, CO2, CO, CH4, with small quantity of aromatic compounds like C6H6, C7H8, C8H10 (ethyl benzene), C8H10 (xylenes) and C6H5 –OH. An experimental study for product validation was also done and the results are presented. Keywords: Pyrolysis, syngas, HSC Chemistry, aromatic compounds.
It's about coal characteristics and its inspections. Swelling index test is the basic test which is performed on fresh raw coal. Higher the swelling lower the coal qualities. because it possesses high volatile materials.

This final year project presents the design, fabrication and testing of Tesla Bladeless Turbine for a 500 W hydropower system. One of the important components of Tesla turbine is the disc; its dimensions are determined from previously conducted research from Warren Rice, who mathematically modeled the flow between two co-rotating discs. Other scientists validated his results and published turbine performance plot, which can be used for further research. Using these results of the discs, the dimensions of the shaft were determined by considering a shaft under cyclic loading. Bearings were selected using analytical techniques and then the dimensions of the stator that is the outer cylinder were determined considering it as a thin walled cylinder. The nozzle slot in the outer cylinder was considered as an initial crack and stress analysis were performed to ensure safe operation. The design parameters and the processes adopted to calculate these parameters are shown in the report. Using these dimensions, a three dimensional CAD model of the turbine is generated using Solid works 2016, and modified to eliminate any problems in the shape and dimensions of individual parts. The parts were then manufactured and assembled in the innovation lab at FME GIKI.
Once the assembly is completed, the turbine was tested under different working conditions, at the fluid mechanics lab of FME GIKI. In the end, the performance of the turbine was compared with that of conventional hydro-powered turbines, to see how much it can compete with the already accomplished turbines, used in the industry.

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.

3. Biomass gasification is a chemical process that convert
biomass into useful convenient gaseous fuel. It has emerged as a
promising technology to fulfill the increasing energy demands of the
world as well as to reduce significantly the volume of Biomass waste
generated in developing societies.
Gasification produce gases like CO,CO2, H2 and CH4; these gas released
are called Syngas.
Gasification technology can be used for:
1. Household Fuel
2. Electricity and Steam Generation
3. In internal combustion engines as a fuel
In a gasifier, the biomass undergoes several different processes like
drying, pyrolysis, combustion and gasification process

10. 1. DRYING ZONE
• The topmost zone contains unreacted biomass (fuel)
through which air and oxygen enters. This zone act as a
drying zone for fuel.
• Biomass fuels usually contain 10%–35% moisture. When
biomass is heated to about 100 °C, the moisture is
converted into steam.
11. • At temperatures above 250°C, the biomass fuel
starts pyrolysing. The details of these pyrolysis
reactions are not well known, but one can guess
that large molecules (such as cellulose, hemi-
cellulose and lignin) break down into medium
size molecules and carbon (char) during the
heating of the feedstock.
12. • The pyrolysis products flow downwards into the
hotter zones of the gasifier. Some will be burned in
the oxidation zone, and the rest will break down to
even smaller molecules of hydrogen, methane,
carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water etc.
• Biomass + O2 → Char+CO+H2+H2O+CO2+CH4+N2
13. • The third zone is made up of charcoal from the
second zone. Hot combustion gases from the
pyrolysis region react with the charcoal to convert
the CO2 and H2O (v) into CO and H2.
• The main components in the gas produced in the
partial oxidation zone are H2, CO and O2 Therefore;
the main reactions are apparently as follows.
14. • H2 + ½ O2 → H2O -241.1 kJ/mol
• CO + ½ O2 → CO2 –111.4 kJ/mol
• C + O2 ↔ CO2 -393.5 kJ/mol
15. • The reaction products of the oxidation zone (hot
gases and glowing charcoal) move downward into
the reduction zone.
• In this zone the sensible heat of the gases and
charcoal is converted as much as possible into
chemical energy of the syngas. The end product of
the chemical reactions that take place in the
reduction zone is a combustible gas which can be
used as fuel gas in burners and after dust removal
and cooling is suitable for internal combustion
engines.
16. • C (char) + O2 → CO2 - 401.9 kJ/mol
• C (char) + CO2 → 2CO + 164.9 kJ/kmol
• C (char) + H2O → CO+H2 + 122.6 KJ/Kmol
• C (char) + 2H2 → CH4 0 KJ/Kmol
• CO + H2O → CO2 + H2 + 42.3 kJ/kmol
(water gas shift reaction)
17. • DESCRIPTION
• This is the separator mainly used for the separation
of solids from the fluids. It mainly consists of the
tangential inlet to feed the materials inside the
chamber.
• It consists of solids out let and fluid out let, it
through the fluid through one side and the
separated solids through the other out let.
18. • PRINCIPLE
• In the cyclone separator the centrifugal force is
used to separate tar, dust and solid particles from
the syngas. The separation depends not only on the
particles size but also on the density of the
particles.
• Hence depending on the syngas velocity the cyclone
separator can be used to separate all types of the
particles, out to remove, and allows fine particles to
be carried through with the fluid.
19. The cyclone consists of four main
parts:
1. Inlet (2” D): Tangential inlets
produce swirling motion which are
preferred for the separation of
solid particles(Fc = mv2/r) from
gases.
2.Separation chamber(L 14”, top D 8”,
bottom D 1”):
Angle of Cyclone= ( height of cone X
360) / length of base
=10 X 360 / 20
=180 degree
3. Vortex finder (2”D, 7”down):
pressure drop directly
proportional to vortex finder
length.
4. dust chamber:
Lies below the
underflow orifice
21. • Filter media, like hay, is
placed inside the two
chamber.
• Syngas entered into the
top of one chamber and
leave from the top of
another chamber.
• All this syngas sucks by a
blower .
• All the joints should be air
tight. To ensure this we
have used welding in
addition of high
temperature silicon.
22. • Temperature=25 C
• Pressure=740mm Hg
PRODUCT OF GASIFICATION
• Producer gas
• Ashes (Ash + Carbon = Ashes)

24. • The substance of a solid fuel is usually composed
of the elements C, H2 and O2.
• In addition there may be N2 and S, but since these
are present only in small quantities they will be
disregarded in the following discussion.
• In the type of gasifiers considered here, a part of
the solid fuel is heated by combustion. The
combustion gases are then reduced by being
passed through a bed of fuel at high temperature.
25. • Oxidation, or combustion
• C + O2 → CO2 - 401.9 kJ/mol
• H2 + ½ O2 → H2O -241.1 kJ/mol
• C + H2 → CO + H2O -241.1 kJ/mol
