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.

Industrial Training at Shahjalal Fertilizer Company Limited (SFCL)MdTanvirMahtab2
This presentation is about the working procedure of Shahjalal Fertilizer Company Limited (SFCL). A Govt. owned Company of Bangladesh Chemical Industries Corporation under Ministry of Industries.
2. Introduction
Facilitate production (machining, assembling and
inspection operations) when work-pieces are to be
produced on a mass scale.
Once a jig or fixture is properly set up, any
number of duplicate parts may be readily
produced without additional set up.
ProductionTechnology Prof. Naman M. Dave
5. General Applications
To reduce the cost of production, as their use eliminates the
laying out of work and setting up of tools.
To increase the production.
To assure high accuracy of the parts.
To provide for interchangeability.
To enable heavy and complex-shaped parts to be machined by
being held rigidly to a machine.
Reduced quality control expenses.
Increased versatility of machine tool.
Less skilled labour so Saving labour cost.
Their use partially automates the machine tool.
Their use improves the safety at work, thereby lowering the rate
of accidents.
ProductionTechnology Prof. Naman M. Dave
6. Components
To fulfill their basic functions, both jigs and fixtures should possess the
following components or elements:
1. A sufficiently rigid body (plate, box or frame structure) into which the
workpieces are loaded.
2. Locating elements.
3. Clamping elements
4. Tool guiding elements (for jigs) or Tool setting elements (for fixtures).
5. Elements for positioning or fastening the jig or fixture on the machine
on which it is used.
ProductionTechnology Prof. Naman M. Dave
7. Locating & Clamping
Principle of Location
The workpiece is assumed to have true and flat faces. In a
state of freedom.
It may move in either of the two opposed directions along
three mutually perpendicular axes, XX, YY and ZZ. These
SIX movements are called "movements of translation".
Also, the workpiece rotate in either of two opposed
directions around each axis, clockwise and anticlockwise.
These six movements are called
"rotational movements". The sum
of these two types of movement
gives the twelve degrees of
freedom of a workpiece in space.
8. Locating & Clamping
ProductionTechnology Prof. Naman M. Dave
To confine the workpiece accurately and positively in another
fixed body Jig or fixture), the movement of the workpiece in
any of the twelve degrees of freedom must be restricted.
9. Locating & Clamping
• The workpiece is resting on three pins A,
B and C which are inserted in the base
of the fixed body. The workpiece cannot
rotate about the axes XX and YY and also
it cannot move downward. In this way,
the five degrees of freedom 1, 2, 3, 4
and 5 have been arrested.
• Two more pins D and E are inserted in
the fixed body, in a plane perpendicular
to the plane containing the pins A. B and
C. Now the workpiece cannot rotate
about the Z-axis and also it cannot move
towards the left. Hence, the addition of
pins D and E restrict three more degrees
of freedom, namely 6, 7 and 8.
• Another pin F in the second vertical face of the
fixed body, arrests degree of freedom 9.
11. Locating Devices Pins of various designs and
made of hardened steel are the
most common locating
devices used to locate a
workpiece in a jig or fixture.
• Depending upon the mutual relation between the
workpiece and pin, the pins may be classified as :
1. Locating pins
2. Support pins
3. Jack pins
• The locating diameter of the pin is made larger than
the shank to prevent it from being forced into the jig or
fixture body due to the weight of the workpiece or the
cutting forces.
ProductionTechnology Prof. Naman M. Dave
13. Locating Pins • When reamed or finely
finished holes are available in
the workiece, these can be
used for locating purposes
(i) Conical locating pins.
These pins are used to locate a workpiece which
is cylindrical (a) and (b). Any variation in the hole
size will be easily accommodated due to the
conical shape of the pin.
(ii) Cylindrical locating pins, Fig. (c), (d) & (e)
In these pins, locating diameter of pin is made a
push fit with the hole in the workpiece, with
which it has to engage. The top portion of these
pins is given sufficient lead either by chamfering
[Fig. (c) & (d)] or by means of radius [Fig. (e)] to
facilitate the loading of the workpiece.
14. Support Pins • With these pins (also known
as rest pins), workpieces with
flat surfaces can be supported
at convenient points.
ProductionTechnology Prof. Naman M. Dave
15. Jack Pins • Jack pins/spring pins are also
used to locate the workpieces
whose dimensions are subject
to variation,
• The pin is allowed to come up under spring pressure or
conversely is pressed down by the workpiece. When the
location of the workpiece is secured. the pin is locked in
this position by means of the locking screw
ProductionTechnology Prof. Naman M. Dave
16. Clamping
• The purpose of clamping is to exert a pressure to press a
workpiece against the locating surfaces and hold it there
opposition to the cutting forces i.e to secure a reliable
(positive) contact of work with locating elements and
prevent the work m the fixture from displacement and
vibration in machining. Common example: Bench vise
ProductionTechnology Prof. Naman M. Dave
17. Clamping Devices
1.Clamping screws. Clamping screws are
used for light clamping and typical
examples are shown in Fig.
2. Hook bolt clamp. This is very simple
clamping device and is only suitable for
light work and where the usual type of
clamp is inconvenient.
ProductionTechnology Prof. Naman M. Dave
18. Clamping Devices
3. Lever type clamps
(i) Bridge clamp: The clamping force is applied by the spring loaded nut.
Slotted strap: To avoid the complete removal of the nut every time a
workpiece is changed the clamp may be slotted to draw it back.
(ii) Heel clamps:
These consist of a robust plate or strap,
center stud and a heel. The strap is
strengthened at the point where the
hole for the stud is cut out, by
increasing thickness around the hole ProductionTechnology Prof. Naman M. Dave
19. Clamping Devices
(ii) Solid Heel & Loose guide clamps
• A heel is provided at the outer end of the clamp to guide its sliding motion for
loading and unloading the workpiece. In design, the heel is solid and one
piece with the clamp.
• The workpiece is loaded into the jig or fixture or removed from these, by
rotating the clamp. In that design, the clamp is guided by the loose heel.
20. Clamping Devices
(iii) Swinging strap (latch) clamp
• This is a special type of clamp which provides a means of entry for
loading and unloading the workpiece. For this, the strap (latch or lid)
can be swung out or in.
ProductionTechnology Prof. Naman M. Dave
21. Clamping Devices
Quick acting clamps
C-clamps
• The two types of C-clamps, free and
captive are shown in Fig. To unload the
workpiece, the locking nut is unscrewed
by giving it about one turn and this
releases the C-clamp. When the clamp is
removed or swung away, the workpiece
can freely pass over the nut. The reverse
procedure is adopted for loading the
workpiece.
ProductionTechnology Prof. Naman M. Dave
22. Clamping Devices
Quick acting clamps
Quick acting nuts
ProductionTechnology Prof. Naman M. Dave
• When the nut is assembled over the male
thread.
• It is inclined to the axis of the clearance
hole.
• When the nut engages the male thread, it is
dropped on to the screw threads and is then
tightly locked by giving it about half a tum.
• The threads of the nut are not continuous but
are interrupted.
• The length of the nut is about 2 to 3 times
the thread diameter.
• The diameter of the clearance ‘D‘ is slightly
bigger than the outside diameter of the
thread and the axis of the hole is inclined at
angle (3° to 7°) to the axis of nut.
23. Clamping Devices
Quick acting clamps
Cam operated clamp
ProductionTechnology Prof. Naman M. Dave
• These clamps find broad
application and are fast and
positive in action. These should
not be used where vibrations are
present or whore the dimensions
of the workpiece vary. e.g.. sand
castings.
24. ProductionTechnology Prof. Naman M.
Dave
No clamping devices are used if a very heavy stable job
is to be machined whose weight is very great compared
to the forces developed in the cutting process. if these
forces are in a direction that cannot disturb the setting of
the job (as. for example. in drilling holes in a heavy
baseplate).
Clamping devices are also unnecessary if the job is
deprived of all of its degrees of freedom when it is
loaded into a fixture (as. for example. turning a job
between centers on a center lathe and milling the two
end faces of a connecting rod located on two pins from
its two end holes.
Clamping Devices
25. Drilling Jigs • Drilling jigs are used to machine holes in
mechanical products. To obtain positional
accuracy of the holes, hardened drill
bushes or jig bushes are used to locate
and guide drill, reamers etc., in relation to
the workpiece.
Design Principles for Drilling Jigs:
1. A drilling jig should be of light construction consistent with adequate
rigidity to facilitate its handling because it has to be handled
frequently during the operation.
2. A drilling jig which is not normally clamped to the machine table
should be provided with four feet.
3. The stability of a drilling jig should be as good as possible since it is
not usual to clamp it to the machine table and to ensure this, the feet
or base of the jig should extend outside the holes to be drilled.
4. Drill bushings should be fitted in fixed portion of the jig.
ProductionTechnology Prof. Naman M. Dave
26. Drilling Jigs
Drill Bushes:
The stiffness of the cutting tool may be insufficient to perform certain
machining operations. To eliminate the elastic spring back in machining and
to locate the tool relative to the work, use is made of guiding parts, such as,
jig bushings/templates. These must be precise, wear resistant and changeable.
1. Press Fit bushings
2. Renewable bushes.
3. Slip Bushes
4. Screw bush.
5. Liner Bushings
1. Press Fit bushings
• These bushings are used when little
importance is put on accuracy or finish,
and the tool used is a twist drill.
• Installed directly in the jig body
When the jig plate into which it is installed is thin, the flanged or headed portion
increasing the length of the bush which provides longer guiding portion to the bush
than would otherwise be available. The flange or head also acts as a stop for the tool.
27. Drilling Jigs
2. Renewable bushes
• When bushes require periodic
replacement (due to the wear of
the inside diameter of the bush,
in case of continuous or large
batch production), the
replacement is simplified by
using a renewable bush.
• These are of the flanged type and
are sliding fit into the liner bush,
which is installed (press fitted in
the jig plate).
• Must be prevented rotating or
lifting with drill by using
retaining screw.
3. Slip Renewable bushes
• Slip bushes are used when more than one bushings are to be interchanged
in a given size of the liner. ProductionTechnology Prof. Naman M. Dave
28. Drilling Jigs
4. Screw bushes
The screwing of the bush into the jig body not only holds the bush in place,
but it also makes the bush adjustable.
5. Linear bushes
These bushings, also
known as 'master
bushings' are permanently
fixed into the jig body.
These act as guides for
renewable type bushings. ProductionTechnology Prof. Naman M. Dave
29. Drilling Jigs: Types

2. Plate Type Jig
3. Open Type Jig
4. Swinging Leaf Jig
5. Box Type Jig
6. Channel Type Jig
7. Sandwich Jig
8. Angular Jig
9. Angle Plate Jig
10.Pot Jig
11.Turn-over Jig
12.Diameter Jig
13.Multi-station Jig
14.Standard Jig
15.Universal Jig
16.Trunnion Jig
17.Ring Jig
18.Solid Jig
• Simplest type of drilling jig.
• Simply a plate made to the shape and size of the
workpiece with the required number of holes made in
it accurately.
• Placed on the workpiece and the holes in the
workpiece will be made by the drill which will be
guided through the holes in the template.
• The plate should be hardened to avoid its frequent
replacement. This type of jig is suitable if only a few
parts are to be made.
30. Drilling Jigs: Types
Plate type Jig
• This is an improvement over the template type of jig. In place of simple holes,
drill bushes are provided in the plate to guide the drill. The workpiece can be
clamped to the plate and the holes drilled
Open type Jig
ProductionTechnology Prof. Naman M. Dave
31. Drilling Jigs: Types
Swinging leaf Jig
• A sort of open type jig in which the top
plate is arranged to swing about a fulcrum
point so that it completely clears the jig for
easy loading and unloading of the
workpiece.
• The drill bushes are fitted into the plate
which is also known as leaf, latch or lid.
Channel type Jig
• Made of standard steel
channel section
ProductionTechnology Prof. Naman M. Dave
32. Drilling Jigs: Types
Box type Jig
• When holes are to be drilled
in more than one plane of a
workpiece, the jig has to be
provided with equivalent
number of bush plates. For
positioning the jig on the
machine table, feet have to be
provided opposite each
drilling bush plate.
• One side of the jig will be
provided with a swinging leaf
for loading and unloading the
workpiece. Such a jig would
take the form of a box.
• When, one or more sides of
the box jig are kept open for
loading/unloading, it is
known as Tumble type and
Trunnion type box jig.
ProductionTechnology Prof. Naman M. Dave
33. Drilling Jigs: Types
Sandwich Jig
• A sandwich jig is a modification of a plate type of jig. The plate jig has a back-
up plate. The job is held between the two plates. The jig is very useful for thin
and ductile jobs which might get bent or warped on another type of jig.
Diameter Jig
• These types of jigs provide a
simple means to drill or ream
radial holes on a diameter of
cylindrical or spherical jobs. The
job can be located on a V-block
and clamped by a clamping plate
and a clamping bolt. ProductionTechnology Prof. Naman M. Dave
34. Drilling Jigs: Types
Angular Jig
• This type of jig is used when a hole is to be drilled at an angle to the drilling
bush axis, This type of jig is used to drill holes in collars and hubs of pulleys
and gears etc. Fig. refers to a drilling jig for drilling oil holes in an I.c. engine
connecting rod.
ProductionTechnology Prof. Naman M. Dave
35. Drilling Jigs: Types
Pot Jig
• This type of jig is used for drilling holes in circular components, which have
both internal and external diameters. The body of the jig is in the form of a pot.
The workpice is located in the pot of the jig and is properly clamped with the
help of a post type locating pin, a clamping plate and a clamping device.
ProductionTechnology Prof. Naman M. Dave
36. Drilling Jigs: Types
Turnover Jig
• These jigs are used to drill holes in components having no suitable resting surfaces.They
are the modification of plate type jigs with jig feet. The jig feet provide the resting
surfaces to the jig during drilling. All such jigs should be "turned-over" for loading and
unloading the workpiece.
Multi-station Jig
• This type of jig has a circular indexable plate mounted on a circular3 base plate which is
clamped to the machine table with the help of T-bolts and nuts. Such jigs are used on
multi-spindle machines. Supposing, the indexable circular plate has four stations. On
station 1, drilling operation is being done, on station 2, reaming and on station 3, counter
boring operation is being done. Station 4 is used for loading and unloading of the jobs.
After every Set of operations, the circular plate is indexed by 90°.
Standard Jig
• There are many components that are similar in design, but different in dimensions
(cylindrical pins of same diameter, but of different lengths or cylindrical pins of different
diameters but of same length/different lengths, etc.) It is sometimes possible to drill
several of these different components in one jig. The jig incorporates an adjustable end
locator to accommodate a variety of lengths. When a jig is especially designed and
fabricated for several similar parts, it is called a standard jig.
ProductionTechnology Prof. Naman M. Dave
37. Drilling Jigs: Types
Turnover Jig
• These jigs are used to drill holes in components having no suitable resting surfaces.They
are the modification of plate type jigs with jig feet. The jig feet provide the resting
surfaces to the jig during drilling. All such jigs should be "turned-over" for loading and
unloading the workpiece.
Universal jig.
• This jig is fIrst manufactured as a basic unit (just like unit heads for machine tools) to
which a number of other elements and parts can be fItted to make it suitable for a
specifIc job. Since same basic unit can be adopted for different work-pieces and
operations, simply by making additions and alterations, hence, named "Universal Jig".
Trunnion jigs.
• The manual manipulation of heavy duty box type jigs is quite inconvenient and
fatiguing. So, such jigs are mounted on trunnions to bring the different faces of the
workpiece to the correct locations for drilling the holes.
Ring jig.
• Such a jig is suitable for drilling holes in round jobs, such as, flanges of pipes.
Solid jig.
• If holes are to be drilled in workpiece of simple shape and relatively of smaller size,
then the jig body can be fabricated from a standard section of rolled steel. Such a jig can
be named as a "solid Jig".
