Rankine Cycle & How to increase its efficiencyRaja Dolat
This document outlines the Rankine cycle and methods to increase the efficiency of steam power plants. The ideal Rankine cycle consists of four processes: an isentropic compression in a pump, isobaric heat addition in a boiler, isentropic expansion in a turbine, and isobaric heat rejection in a condenser. The thermal efficiency of the cycle can be increased by lowering the condenser pressure, increasing the boiler pressure, and superheating the steam to raise average temperatures. These modifications aim to increase the average fluid temperature during heat addition and decrease it during heat rejection.

These variables are calculated and trended monthly to monitor heater performance and identify any issues.
Rankine cycle is a thermodynamic cycle that converts heat into work. It uses a water/steam as the working fluid. There are three main types: ideal, reheat, and regeneration. The ideal cycle assumes instantaneous and reversible processes while real cycles are non-reversible. The reheat cycle increases efficiency by reheating steam between turbine stages. The regeneration cycle further improves efficiency by using steam extracted from the turbine to preheat feedwater entering the boiler. Together these modifications help maximize work extraction from high-temperature heat sources like fossil fuels.

The document discusses psychrometric charts which graphically represent all the properties of atmospheric air, including temperature, humidity, and other properties, on a single chart that is usually at 1 atmospheric pressure. Psychrometric charts allow users to easily see the relationships between different air properties and perform calculations involving changes in conditions like heating and cooling of air.
The document discusses vapor-gas mixtures and air conditioning. It defines key temperature measurements including dry bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature, and dew point temperature. Wet bulb temperature is the temperature air would reach if cooled by evaporation until saturated. Dew point is the saturation temperature corresponding to vapor pressure.

This document discusses methods for improving the efficiency of low pressure turbines (LPT) in modern turbofan engines. LPT efficiency directly impacts overall engine efficiency, so increasing LPT efficiency by 1% can increase total engine efficiency by 1%. One way to improve LPT efficiency is to increase the loading on the turbine blades, but beyond a certain point this causes separation of the air from the blade surfaces. Both active and passive methods are used to control this separation, but they have disadvantages like added complexity, losses, and costs. The document proposes studying the effect of wakes from upstream non-axisymmetric vortex generator (NGV) blades on separation in the LPT blades, as these wakes may help control separation more effectively.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniquesnooriasukmaningtyas
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.
CHINA’S GEO-ECONOMIC OUTREACH IN CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES AND FUTURE PROSPECTjpsjournal1
The rivalry between prominent international actors for dominance over Central Asia's hydrocarbon
reserves and the ancient silk trade route, along with China's diplomatic endeavours in the area, has been
referred to as the "New Great Game." This research centres on the power struggle, considering
geopolitical, geostrategic, and geoeconomic variables. Topics including trade, political hegemony, oil
politics, and conventional and nontraditional security are all explored and explained by the researcher.
Using Mackinder's Heartland, Spykman Rimland, and Hegemonic Stability theories, examines China's role
in Central Asia. This study adheres to the empirical epistemological method and has taken care of
objectivity. This study analyze primary and secondary research documents critically to elaborate role of
china’s geo economic outreach in central Asian countries and its future prospect. China is thriving in trade,
pipeline politics, and winning states, according to this study, thanks to important instruments like the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative. According to this study,
China is seeing significant success in commerce, pipeline politics, and gaining influence on other
governments. This success may be attributed to the effective utilisation of key tools such as the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative.
