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.
Online aptitude test management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The purpose of on-line aptitude test system is to take online test in an efficient manner and no time wasting for checking the paper. The main objective of on-line aptitude test system is to efficiently evaluate the candidate thoroughly through a fully automated system that not only saves lot of time but also gives fast results. For students they give papers according to their convenience and time and there is no need of using extra thing like paper, pen etc. This can be used in educational institutions as well as in corporate world. Can be used anywhere any time as it is a web based application (user Location doesn’t matter). No restriction that examiner has to be present when the candidate takes the test.
Every time when lecturers/professors need to conduct examinations they have to sit down think about the questions and then create a whole new set of questions for each and every exam. In some cases the professor may want to give an open book online exam that is the student can take the exam any time anywhere, but the student might have to answer the questions in a limited time period. The professor may want to change the sequence of questions for every student. The problem that a student has is whenever a date for the exam is declared the student has to take it and there is no way he can take it at some other time. This project will create an interface for the examiner to create and store questions in a repository. It will also create an interface for the student to take examinations at his convenience and the questions and/or exams may be timed. Thereby creating an application which can be used by examiners and examinee’s simultaneously.
Examination System is very useful for Teachers/Professors. As in the teaching profession, you are responsible for writing question papers. In the conventional method, you write the question paper on paper, keep question papers separate from answers and all this information you have to keep in a locker to avoid unauthorized access. Using the Examination System you can create a question paper and everything will be written to a single exam file in encrypted format. You can set the General and Administrator password to avoid unauthorized access to your question paper. Every time you start the examination, the program shuffles all the questions and selects them randomly from the database, which reduces the chances of memorizing the questions.

3. 1. Introduction
Hollow Concrete Blocks ( HBC ) are
blocks manufactured
from concrete and processed into
moulds, to achieve the
required physical strength and
dimensions to requirements and
standards.
HBC are produced, to construct:
a Load bearing walls ( Class A & B )
b Non load bearing walls ( Class C )
A masonary may be constructed mainly with the following
units:
1. Hollow Concrete Blocks
2. Dressed ( natural) stones
3. ( Burnt ) clay bricks
While comparing with others, HCB masonery is a cost and time
efficient and economical solution in construction.

6. 3. The HCB Productionyard
The HCB production area must be even and smooth and should
ideal have a power floated surface.
All facilities for production i.e.
Aggregate storage places
Mixing plant
Material storages
HCB storage places
should be as close as possible to the production area.
Attached is a typically layout of a HCB Prefab plant and an
engeneers drwg of a HCB production ground floor.
9. 4. The productionof Hollow ConcreteBlocks
a Aggregates, i.e. Sand, Gravel, Red Ash:
should be clean, stored separatly close to the mixing plant
All aggregates used for production have to be approved by an
independant concrete labatory!
b Water: mustbe clean and free of unpurifications
c Cement: Portland Cement ( OPC ) shall be used as a binder
material for the motar mix.
Cement should be stored in a dry place, moisture free.
d Machinery & Equipment:
Must be in perfect condition and sufficient in numbers to
suit the daily production needs.
Regular cleaning, maintainence of all machinery & equipment
is essential to keep the agreed quality standards.
An adequate stock of spare parts for all machninery has to be
kept, in order to safe guard production.
e Production:
Before production can commence, all materials have to be
approved by an official concrete lab.
The mixing and batching will be strictly done on the mix ratio
provided by the official concrete lab.
The mixing ( best results are with a compulsorymixer ) should
be done thouroughly, until a uniform consistence of the
mortar is achieved.
The ready motar mix is poured into the vibrating mould
of the block making machine.
Duration of compaction depends on the type of machine and
vibrator used, but is approx. 3 seconds.
after compaction the unset ( green ) HCB is dropped on the
Floor for curing.
10.
11. 5. Curing Guidlines
Curing is one of the most important activities in the production
process.
The purpose of curing is to replace the evaporating water through
sun and / or air.
Also the hydration process, a chemical reaction, needs water to set
/ harden the mortar.
Once the HCB`s aredropped on the floor, they must be protected
from sun and kept constantly moist.
The day after production the HCB are removed from the
production floor,placed in two layers on pallets and are again
watered till saturation.
The pallets are then covered with waterproof sheets, watered,
cured until the seventh day, at least once a day.
After that, put the blocks in five layers on the designated storage
place and apply water twice a day.
6. Operational Staff andSupervision
In order to achive the best possible quality a specific group of
workers should be trained on:
- batching
- mixing
- pouring into the mould
- operating the block making machine
- transporting the blocks
- curing and stocking
If the need of HCB prodution requires shift works, then the
precast yard has to belayed out accordantly.
12. Supervision / Quality control will be carried out by the GC, the
concrete lab., the Resident engeneer and the site manager of the
implementing agency.
7. Stockpiling
The GC has to take care that he has always a sufficient stockpile
of cement, aggregates and HBC`s on site to buffer delivery
problems and to safeguard production on site.
8. Keeping Records and Reporting
Every daily HCB production has to be marked with the
production date, in order to avoid errors in storage/curing time.
The amount of daily production has to be in accordance with the
building schedule. The resident engeneer will, on a daily base,
record the blocks produced and the quality achieved.
The official concrete lab. will on a monthly base take samples of
blocks and aggregates and check those samples in their lab.
Results are to be reported to the resident engeneer and to the site
manager of the implementing agency.
The site manager will report on a weekly/monthly turn to the
main office of the implementing agency and to the client the
progress and the quality of production, based on the resident
engeneers reports and own supervision.
