Cement, in general, adhesive substances of all kinds, but, in a narrower sense, the binding materials used in building and civil engineering construction. Cements of this kind are finely ground powders that, when mixed with water, set to a hard mass. Setting and hardening result from hydration, which is a chemical combination of the cement compounds with water that yields submicroscopic crystals or a gel-like material with a high surface area. Because of their hydrating properties, constructional cements, which will even set and harden under water, are often called hydraulic cements. The most important of these is portland cement.

Economical eco friendly light-weight building blocks using waste paper - pape...Prakash Kumar Sekar
The major component in any construction activity is the cost of the material. In developing countries, the untapped or unused resources are needed to be identified for its potential use in the construction sectors. The one such resource is waste paper. Paper pulp added with cement and sand hardens and forms a light weight construction material called Papercrete, which satisfies many of the engineering properties needed for construction. Papercrete has advantages like low-cost, economical and it is eco-friendly. In this research, papercrete blocks are created and their engineering properties are studied. It is to be noted that under compression papercrete fails slowly in a ductile manner but there was no earlier reliable research findings relating compressive stress with compressive strain which is covered in this paper.
It shows the different methods to calculate angles and sides in the different type of triangle. Its one of the basics for understanding doing surveying.

Hybrid optimization of pumped hydro system and solar- Engr. Abdul-Azeez.pdffxintegritypublishin
Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.

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.

3. Introduction
“A cement is a binder, a substance that sets and hardens and can bind other materials
together. It principal constituents for constructional purpose are compounds of
Ca(calcareous) and Al + Si (argillaceous)”
The cements have property of setting
and hardening under water, by virtue
of certain chemical reaction with it
and are called ‘hydraulic cements’
Chemical Composition of Cement
Lime 63%
Silica 22%
Alumina 06%
Iron oxide 03%
Gypsum 01 to 04%
4. Classification of Cements
Cements
Natural Cement
Puzzolana Cement
Slag Cement
Portland Cement
It is the variety of
artificial cement. It is
called Portland cement
because on hardening
(setting) its color
resembles to rocks near
Portland in England.
5. Portland Cement
“An extremely finely ground product by calcinising together , at above 1500o
C , an
intimate and properly proportioned mixture of argillaceous (clay) and calcareous
(lime) raw materials, without the addition of anything subsequent to calcination ,
excepting the retarder gypsum”

6. Raw materials of Portland Cement and it’s use
Calcareous materials, CaO [eg.
Limestone ]
•Principal Constituent and its proportion can be
regulated
•Excess of lime reduces the strength and makes
the cement expand & disintegrate
•Lesser amount of lime also reduces the strength
by quick setting
Argillaceous materials, Al2O3 and SiO2
[eg. Clay ]
•Imparts strength
•Makes quick setting
•Excess of alumina weakens the cement
Powdered Coal or fuel oil
•For burning
Gypsum (CaSO4 2H2O)
•Retards and enhances quick setting

14. Grinding and Packaging
• Cooled clinkers are ground to fine powder in
ball mills
• At final stages of grounding about 2-3% of
powdered gypsum is added.
(This is to avoid setting of cement quickly when it comes in
contact with water)
Grinding
Packaging
• Ground cement is stored in silos
• From silos they are automatically packaged into bag which are about 50 Kg
• Gypsum acts as a retarding agent for early setting of the cement

After initial set Gypsum Tricalcium sulphoaluminate (Insoluble)
15. Properties of cement : Setting and hardening
When the cement is mixed with water, hydration and hydrolysis reactions of
Bogue compounds of cement begin, resulting in formation of gel and crystalline
products.
These products have the ability to surround inert materials liks sand , bricks ,
crushed stones, etc.
“ Setting is the stiffening of original plastic mass due to the formation of
tobermonite gel”. It can be divided into 2 stages a) Initial Set b)Final Set
Initial Set is when paste being to stiffen
Final Set is when the paste beginning to harden and able to sustain some
loads
“ Hardening is the development of strength due to formation of crystals”

22. Function of Gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O ) in cement
• Tricalcium aluminate (C3A) combines with water very rapidly with the evolution
of large amount of heat
• After the initial set, the paste becomes stiff.
• Adding gypsum retards the dissolution of C3A by forming insoluble calcium
sulpho-aluminate
• The above reaction shows how gypsum retards the early initial set of cement

starts and some heat is liberated
• On an average of 500 kJ/Kg of heat is evolved during complete hydration of
cement
