Procedure for Steam Reforming Catalyst Reduction with LPG Feed
Scope
This procedure may be used for the reduction of VULCAN Series Catalysts for the general steam reforming of LPG.
It is strongly advised that this procedure is adopted only where there is no other option available to use hydrogen, a hydrogen-rich gas or natural gas for the reduction stage. Reduction using the cracking of heavier hydrocarbons carries an extreme risk of catastrophic carbon formation in the event of any error in execution of the procedure.
Introduction
LPG is not normally utilized for steam reforming catalyst reduction although it can be used successfully. Caution is required if heavier hydrocarbons are used for catalyst reduction. Although operators have been able to reduce catalysts by using heavier hydrocarbon cracking, this has only been adopted where no other reductant option is available. The risk of carbon formation greatly increases as the carbon number of the feed increases when the catalyst is in the unreduced state. For the purposes of this procedure, LPG may range from a hydrocarbon mixture which is predominantly propane to one which is predominantly butane.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
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.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

2. INTRODUCTION
Liquefied petroleum gas cylinders are manufactured and tested under stringent norms
before they get certified by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for market use. These LPG
cylinders are designed and manufactured as per Indian standard. Normally, cylinders are
manufactured in batches from raw material specified in Indian standards and tested
before dispatching to market. As a part of design , cylinder thickness is calculated based
the shape of the cylinder dome and cylindrical portion of the dome. Cylinders are then
produced through various stages and tested before BIS certifies a lot.
REVIEW OF CYLINDER MANUFACTURING PROCESS
LPG cylinders are manufactured either in two piece or three piece construction. Body
parts of the cylinder are explained in the fig.1.
In two piece construction, cylinders are fabricated by welding two domed ends directly
together. A three piece cylinder is fabricated by joining two domed ends to a cylindrical
body as shown in fig. 1.
The domed ends can be Tori-Spherical, Semi- ellipsoidal or Hemi-spherical in shape as
shown in Fig.2
3. Wall thickness is primary factor to be arrived while designing a cylinder. In order to
design the thickness, a test pressure 23,53 bar, and a minimum yield strength is 240 Mpa
is considered as per Indian standard IS3196 part 1. Further, weld joint factor to be
considered as 1.0, 0.9 and 0.7 depends on type of radiographic examination adopted to
check the welds during and after manufacturing.
Thickness of cylindrical portion is calculated using formulas.

LPG PROPERTIES
LPG is a mixture of commercial butane and commercial propane having both saturated
and unsaturated hydrocarbons. LPG marketed in India shall be governed by Indian
Standard Code IS-4576 (Refer Table 1.0) and the test methods by IS-1448.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND CHARACTERISTICS
DENSITY
LPG at atmospheric pressure and temperature is a gas which is 1.5 to 2.0 times heavier
than air. It is readily liquefied under moderate pressures. The density of the liquid is
approximately half that of water and ranges from 0.525 to 0.580 @ 15 deg. C.
Since LPG vapour is heavier than air, it would normally settle down at ground level/ low
lying places, and accumulate in depressions.
VAPOUR PRESSURE
The pressure inside a LPG storage vessel/ cylinder will be equal to the vapour pressure
corresponding to the temperature of LPG in the storage vessel. The vapour pressure is
dependent on temperature as well as on the ratio of mixture of hydrocarbons. At liquid
full condition any further expansion of the liquid, the cylinder pressure will rise by
approx. 14 to 15 kg./sq.cm. for each degree centigrade. This clearly explains the
7. hazardous situation that could arise due to overfilling of cylinders.
FLAMMABILITY
LPG has an explosive range of 1.8% to 9.5% volume of gas in air. This is considerably
narrower than other common gaseous fuels. This gives an indication of hazard of LPG
vapour accumulated in low lying area in the eventuality of the leakage or spillage.
The auto-ignition temperature of LPG is around 410-580 deg. C and hence it will not
ignite on its own at normal temperature.
Entrapped air in the vapour is hazardous in an unpurged vessel/ cylinder during pumping/
filling-in operation. In view of this it is not advisable to use air pressure to unload LPG
cargoes or tankers.
COMBUSTION
The combustion reaction of LPG increases the volume of products in addition to the
generation of heat. LPG requires upto 50 times its own volume of air for complete
combustion. Thus it is essential that adequate ventilation is provided when LPG is burnt
in enclosed spaces otherwise asphyxiation due to depletion of oxygen apart from the
formation of carbon-dioxide can occur.
8. ODOUR
LPG has only a very faint smell, and consequently, it is necessary to add some odourant, so that
any escaping gas can easily be detected.
Ethyl Mercaptan is normally used as stenching agent for this purpose. The amount to be added
should be sufficient to allow detection in atmosphere 1/5 of lower limit of flammability or odour
level 2 as per IS : 4576.
COLOUR
LPG is colourless both in liquid and vapour phase. During leakage the vapourisation of liquid
cools the atmosphere and condenses the water vapour contained in them to form a whitish fog
which may make it possible to see an escape of LPG.
TOXICITY
LPG even though slightly toxic, is not poisonous in vapour phase, but can, however, suffocate
when in large concentrations due to the fact that it displaces oxygen. In view of this the vapour
posses mild anaesthetic properties.

COMPOSITION OF LPG
LPG is primarily composed of propane, butane, isobutane and mixtures of these gases. LPG
exists as liquid or gas (vapour), depending on pressure and temperature. LPG has many
properties including density (specific gravity), flame temperature, boiling point, flash point,
8
9. vapour pressure, odour, appearance, energy content, gaseous expansion, combustion formula,
limits of flammability, nomenclature and molecular formula.
LPG Boiling Point
Water boils at 100°C or 212°F, becoming a gas (steam). In contrast, LPG boils at -42°C or
-44°F, becoming gas vapour. LPG stays liquid because it is under pressure in a gas cylinder.
As a liquid, it looks a lot like water. It is colorless and odorless in its natural state. LPG Pressure
Varies with Temperature As previously mentioned, when LPG is stored in a gas bottle, it is
under pressure.
The term “pressure” refers to the average force per unit of area that the gas exerts on the inside
walls of the gas bottle.
(LPG Pressure-Temperature Chart shown)
• Pressure is measured in kilopascals (kPa) or pounds per square inch (psi).
• “Bar” is yet another unit of measure for pressure.
• 1 Bar = 100 kPa, so it is metric based but not an SI unit of measure.
• LPG pressure can vary greatly based on temperature, as shown in the chart.
9
10. • The level of fill in the gas bottle comes into play when the LPG is being used, as it affects
the rate of vaporization.
DETAILS OF LPG PUMP
A diaphragm pump (also known as a Membrane pump) is a positive displacement pump that uses
a combination of the reciprocating action of a rubber, thermoplastic or teflon diaphragm and
suitable valves on either side of the diaphragm to pump a fluid.
There are three main types of diaphragm pumps:
1. Those in which the diaphragm is sealed with one side in the fluid to be pumped, and the
other in air or hydraulic fluid. The diaphragm is flexed, causing the volume of the pump
chamber to increase and decrease. A pair of non-return check valves prevent reverse flow
of the fluid.
2. Those employing volumetric positive displacement where the prime mover of the
diaphragm is electro-mechanical, working through a crank or geared motor drive, or
purely mechanical, such as with a lever or handle. This method flexes the diaphragm
through simple mechanical action, and one side of the diaphragm is open to air.
3. Those employing one or more unsealed diaphragms with the fluid to be pumped on both
sides. The diaphragm(s) again are flexed, causing the volume to change.
When the volume of a chamber of either type of pump is increased (the diaphragm moving up),
the pressure decreases, and fluid is drawn into the chamber. When the chamber pressure later
increases from decreased volume (the diaphragm moving down), the fluid previously drawn in is
forced out. Finally, the diaphragm moving up once again draws fluid into the chamber,
completing the cycle. This action is similar to that of the cylinder in an internal combustion
engine. Diaphragm Pumps deliver a hermetic seal between the drive mechanism and the
compression chamber, allowing the pump to transfer, compress, and evacuate the medium
without a lubricant.
10
11. Figure 1: Type 2 Pump
An elastomeric diaphragm can be used as a versatile dynamic seal that removes many of the
limitations found with other sealing methods. They do not leak, offer little friction, and can be
constructed for low pressure sensitivity. With the right material consideration, diaphragms can
seal over a wide range of pressures and temperatures without needing lubrication or
maintenance.
Diaphragm pump characteristics:
• Have good suction lift characteristics, some are low pressure pumps with low flow rates;
others are capable of higher flow rates, dependent on the effective working diameter of
the diaphragm and its stroke length.
• Suitable for discharge pressure up to 1,200 bar
• Have good dry running characteristics.
• Can be used to make artificial hearts.
• Are used to make air pumps for the filters on small fish tanks.
• Can be up to 97% efficient.
• Have good self priming capabilities.
• Can handle highly viscous liquids.

12. CONCLUSION
In this report cylinder design calculations are aimed to find thickness, which is calculated
separately for cylindrical and domes portions and finalized, through various processes. Once the
design is finalized, cylinders are produced from a specified raw material through various
processes. Internal stresses in cylinders are relieved in heat treatment process. Cylinders are
marked with unique serial number and tare weight. after various tests cylinders can be send to
the the market.
