.
.A boiler or steam generator is a device used to create steam by applying heat energy to water. Although the definitions are somewhat flexible, it can be said that older steam generators were commonly termed boilers and worked at low to medium pressure (7–2,000 kPa or 1–290 psi) but, at pressures above this, it is more usual to speak of a steam generator.
A boiler or steam generator is used wherever a source of steam is required. The form and size depends on the application: mobile steam engines such as steam locomotives, portable engines and steam-powered road vehicles typically use a smaller boiler that forms an integral part of the vehicle; stationary steam engines, industrial installations and power stations will usually have a larger separate steam generating facility connected to the point-of-use by piping. A notable exception is the steam-powered fireless locomotive, where separately-generated steam is transferred to a receiver (tank) on the locomotive.
A boiler is a steel pressure vessel in which water under pressure is converted into steam by the application of combustion. In other words, it is simply a heat exchanger which uses radiant heat and hot flue gases, liberated from burning fuel, to generate steam and hot water for heating and processing loads.Since the amount of steam delivered varies with temperature and pressure, a common expression of the boiler capacity is the heat transferred over time expressed as British Thermal Units per hour. A boilers capacity is usually expressed as kBtu/hour (1000 Btu/hour) and can be calculated as. W = (hg - hf) m (1)

Apache Cordova is one of the most popular frameworks for cross-platform mobile development. Web developers can build apps for iOS, Android, and Windows based on the same frameworks they use for the Web by using a shared codebase. However, the methods for improving mobile app performance can be different from those web developers use for web apps. Doris Chen outlines what impacts “native performance” and explains how the startup time, as well as the overhead of resume, memory, communication, and the Web, can all contribute to the performance of Cordova apps. To build Cordova apps that perform well, it’s important to understand how to avoid common pitfalls and how to use the technologies in the most efficient ways. Doris introduces tools for performance tests and demonstrates how to measure mobile app performance by using diagnostic tools for different platforms. Doris also shares practical tips for building faster Cordova apps by exploring Document Object Model (DOM) complexity, animation techniques, and memory management.

Thermal Power Plant - Full Detail About Plant and Parts (Also Contain Animate...Shubham Thakur
A thermal power station is a power plant in which the prime mover is steam driven. Water is heated, turns into steam and spins a steam turbine which drives an electrical generator. After it passes through the turbine, the steam is condensed in a condenser and recycled to where it was heated; this is known as a Rankine cycle. The greatest variation in the design of thermal power stations is due to the different fossil fuel resources generally used to heat the water. Some prefer to use the term energy center because such facilities convert forms of heat energy into electrical energy.[1] Certain thermal power plants also are designed to produce heat energy for industrial purposes of district heating, or desalination of water, in addition to generating electrical power. Globally, fossil fueled thermal power plants produce a large part of man-made CO2 emissions to the atmosphere, and efforts to reduce these are varied and widespread.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

1. Safety module
Overview of safety hazard:
What is hazard?
A hazard is any sourceof potentialdamage, harmor adversehealth effects on
something or someone under certain condition at work.
How to behave inside the plant:
No loose clothing.
Safe distance is to be maintained from rotating machine.
Any electrical installation should not be touched.
Safe distance should be kept from bare live terminals.
Helmet is a must.
Nobody should move in dark spaces.
Nobody should move alone.
Be aware from floor opening.
Avoid moving on checker plate.
Nobody should move over the trenches.
Railing should not be leant upon.
Moving into confined spaces(congested closed area with lower concentration of
oxygen, and containing mixture of toxic and explosive gases) for eg any flue duct,
furnace, inside the condenser, cooling water duct, sewerage lines is to be avoided.
One should not move in regions where lifting work is being carried out.
One should not go into a unit which is under maintainance.
One must avoid going near welding and gas cutting sparks and must use safety
glasses.
.
SUPPLY OF RAW MATERIALS:
A) COAL:There are 3 sources of coal supply as:
Lalmatia situated 85 Kms away from the main plant.
Imported coal from Indonesia.
Indian railways who supply coal from different mines across the country.
B) WATER:
2. Feedwater: Collected from feeder canal cut across the river Ganga.
Cooling Water: Collected from the same source.
C) AIR: atmospheric air is used.
D) OIL: HFO is supplied by IOCL.
ASH DISPOSAL:
For the quality of coal used here, approximately 80% Fly Ash and 20% bottom ash is
produced. Ash disposal is a major issue in coal fired power plants.Raw water is mixed with
ash to form slurry and pumped out through series pumps( 3 for Fly ash and 2 for Bottom
ash ) into ash dyke.Fly ash dyke is situated 12 Kms away and Bottom ash dyke MALANCHA
is situated 5 Kms away from the main plant.
DIFFERENT CYCLES INVOLVED IN THE ENTIRE OPERATION:
FUEL CIRCUIT :
Coal is brought into CHP with the help of Wagon tipplers or track hoppers
and stored in the bunker.
From bunker coal is sent to feeder via conveyer.
The purpose of feeder is to vary the amount of coal as per load requirement.
From feeder coal is taken to mill where it is pulverized.
Primary air is sucked from atmosphere through PA fan and takes pulverized
coal to the furnace.
Fig1: Coal circuit
2) AIR & FLUE GAS CIRCUIT:
3. Secondary air is sucked from atm. with the help of FD fan(Forced Draught)
for combustion.A fire ball is generated inside the boiler.The temp. of fire ball
is 1000-1100 deg. C.
Flue gas is generated due to combustion.
Heat is extracted from flue gas to heat the steam in platen SH, reheater,final
SH, primary SH , economiser and to heat air in air preheater.
Fly ash particles are collected from flue gas at ESP(Electrostatic Precipitator)
and flue gas is released to atm. with the help of ID fan(Induced Draught)
which is situated at the base of chimney.
Fig2: Air & Flue gas circuit
3) STEAM, CONDENSATE & FEED WATER CYCLE:
In 200MW unit of the plant the boiler drum is located at the height of 54m.
Inner wall of the boiler made up of water tubes which originate from bottom
ring header situated 7m from ground level.
DM water picks up heat from fire ball and goes up as a mixture of steam and
water.Then it reaches drum .As steam being lighter it goes upward.Water
comes down through DOWNCOMER .In 200MW unit no. of downcomers is
6 and natural circulation of steam and water takes place.But in 500MW unit
the boiler drum being at a height of 72m forced circulation is employed by
BCP(Boiler Circulation Pump) through 10 downcomers.
Steam is separated from water in the boiler drum with the help of CYCLONE
SEPARATOR & SECONDARY SEPARATOR(corrugated sheets) and it follows
the circuit shown below.
4. Fig 3: Steam,Condensate & Feed Water cycle
4) COOLING WATER CIRCUIT:
Raw water is taken from the feeder canal through CW pump.
Raw water is passed through TRASH RACKS and TRAVELLING WATER
SCREENS to remove impurities(animal bodies, planktons etc) of different
sizes.
Raw water is stored at the water box at the inlet of condenser and it flows
through the innumerable number of condenser tubes. In stage I there are
13000 such tubes. The water comes at the outlet and is stored at the outlet
water box.
The condensate is stored in the HOTWELL at a temperature of 45 deg C.
In STAGE-I and STAGE-II,after using in the condenser the hot water is
returned
to the feeder canal, hence it is an open cycle system.
In STAGE III, Cooling tower is used. After using the water in the condenser it
is recirculated through cooling tower, where the hot water is cooled and
reused. This is a closed cycle system and causes less harm to the environment.
5. Fig4: Cooling Water circuit
Basic Description of Flow of Coal:
(1) CHP (Coal Handling Plant): The input coal is unloaded at this portion, which passes
it to the next block crusher house.
(2) Crusher house: crusher house crush the unloaded coal coming from the CHP in
small size.
(3) Coal Bunker: Coalbunker stores the crushed coal and passes it to the Feeder.
(4) RC Feeder: It is the raw coal feeder. The coal, comes from the crusher house is still of
big size. The feeder controls the quantity of the input coal to the boiler.
(5) Mill/pulveriser: Mill contains three rollers. It crushes it to powder finely. Primary air
takes the pulverized coal from the mill to the boiler.
(6) Furnace : At furnace pulverized coal is combusted with the help of secondary air.
Brief description of system components:
Main components of the power plant are:
1) Boiler:
In Farakka NTPC, corner fired boilers are used. In stage I, there are 6 mills
situated from a height of 18m to 27m. FIRING FLOORS of mill A is at a height
of 18m and that of mill F is at 27m. Rest of the firing floors are situated in
between. HFO OIL GUNS are situated at heights of AB, CD and EF.
Purpose of oil gun: a) during boiler start up , b) emergency purpose.
6. Fig 6: HFO Flow System
The working oil supplied by IOCL is stored in HFO tank 2. The oil in this tank is
replenished by oil in tanks 1 and 3. The heat lost due to transportation is
compensated by HEATER. HFO Circulation takes place all the time so that
temperature of oil is maintained at 120 deg C when plant is running.
In case of shut down of any mill, the coal particles on the corresponding floor may
not get sufficient ignition energy and thereby the fireball distorts and subsequently
two separate balls are formed on either side of that mill. In that case HFO injection
makes up that gap and stabilizes the fire ball.
The coal is composed of 4 parts – fixed carbon(FC),Volatile material(VM),Moisture &
ash. The VM supplies the initial ignition energy for the complete combustion of FC.
If the VM content in the coal used is less the coal particles have to travel a larger
path to attain the required ignition energy and hence the fireball is formed at
greater height.
Fig7: Isometric View of Boiler schematic
Fig8: Top view of firing floor corresponding to mill A
It is critical to maintain the level of water in boiler drum.
7. Case 1: level of water goes too high: water may go into the steam circuit. When water hits
the turbine blades, PITTING may occur. (the high velocity water particles may produce
indentations in the turbine blades)
Case 2: level of water goes low: If it is too low, the boiler drum base being close to the fire
ball, its shape gets deformed. Also low water level causes water in the drum to get
evaporated at a faster rate than the rate at which water is returned from hotwell to the
drum
There are mainly three types of heater coils in boiler.
(1) Economiser
(2) Re heater
(3) Super heater
Economizer:
Economizer is a device in which the feed water is heated before it enters into a
boiler. The heat is being taken from the waste flue gas of the boiler. It ensures economy of
fuel. Hence it is called economizer. The economizer is placed at the second pass of boiler.
The flue gases of the boiler furnace, after working inside the boiler, flows through it before
passing into the chimney.
Coal bunker-
These are in process storage silos used for storing crushed coal from the coal
handling system. Generally, these are made up of welded steel plates. Normally there are six
such bunkers supplying coal of the corresponding mills. These are located on the top of the
mills so as to aid in gravity feeding of coal.
P. A. Fan-
8. The primary air fans (2 per unit-50% capacity each) are designed to suck primary
air from atmosphere. Temperature of PA is increased to 300 deg C after passing through Air
Pre-heater. These fans are located at ‘0’M level near the boiler.
Burners-
As evident from the name itself, these are used for burning pulverized coal. Every
unit has a set of such burners located at different elevations of the furnace.
F. D. Fan-
These forced draught fans (2 per unit-50% capacity each) are designed for handling
secondary air for the boiler. These fans are located at ‘0’M level near the P.A Fan.
Electrostatic Precipitator-
Air Pre-heater-
Air pre heater transfer the heat from the flue gas to cold primary and/or secondary
air by extracting heat from waste flue gas. These are located in the secondary pass of the
furnace at a height of around ‘16’M level. Each 200MW unit is provided with two such air
pre-heaters.
ID Fans-
These are two induced draught fans per boiler located between the ESP & chimney.
These fans are used for maintaining pressure inside the boiler by releasing flue gas through
chimney.
Chimney-
These are tall RCC structures with single/multiple flue ducts (one flue duct per
200MW unit). The heights of these chimneys vary, depending upon the location
considerations; anywhere between 150m to 220m.
9. Steam Circulation System
Re-heaters-
This is the part of the boiler which receives the steam back from the turbine after it has
given up some of its heat energy in the high pressure section of the turbine. It raises the
temperature of this steam, usually to its original value, for further expansion in the turbine.
The purpose of this reheating is to add energy to the partially used steam. The construction
& arrangement is similar to super heater. It has two sections- hot & cold Reheat sections.
Due to resistance of flow through the reheat section, the hot reheat steam is at lower
pressure compared to the cold reheat steam.
water treatment plant and storage
USE OF MAKE UP WATER:
Since there is continuous withdrawal of steam and continuous return of condensate to the
boiler, losses due to blow down and leakages have to be made up to maintain a desired
water level in the boiler steam drum. For this, continuous make-up water is added to the
boiler water system.
Boiler feed pump-
10. It takes water input from the deaeretor at a very low pressure and pumps it to the
boiler drum at a very high pressure (190Kg).
Condenser-
Ejectors-
There are two 100%capacity ejectors of the steam ejecting type. The purpose of the
ejector is to evacuate air and other non-condensing gases from the condensers and thus
maintain the vacuum in the condensers.
Condensate Extraction Pump-
It extracts the condensate from the hot well of the condenser and pumps it to the de-
aerator.
L. P. Heaters-
Turbine has been provided with non-controlled extractions which are utilized for
heating the condensate, from turbine bleed steam. There are 4 low pressure heaters in
which last four extractions are used.L.P.Heater-1 has two parts LPH-1A and LPH-1B located
in the upper parts of the condenser A & B respectively. These are of the horizontal type with
shell and tube construction. L.P.H 2,3,4 are of similar construction and they are mounted in
row at 5M level.
Deaerator-
This is used to remove oxygen. Due to the presence of certain gases like oxygen,
carbon-di-oxide, ammonia, etc. in water then it is considered harmful because of their
corrosive effect on metals, particularly at elevated temperatures. The boiler feed water
should be free from all dissolved gases. This can be achieved by embodying into the boiler
feed system a de-aerating system, whose function is to remove dissolved gases from the feed
water by mechanical means.
H. P. Heaters-
These are regenerative feed water heaters operating at high pressures and located at
the side of turbine. These are connected in series on feed-water side & by such arrangement
feed-water enters the HP heaters. The steam is supplied to these heaters from the bleed
point of the turbine through motor operated valves. These have a group bypass protection
on the feed waterside. Here the feed water flows through the tube spirals & is heated by
steam around the tubes in the shall of heaters. These heaters are cylindrical vessels with
welded dished ends & with integrated, de-super heating, condensing, & & sub cooling
sections. This design offers the advantage to optimize the arrangement of piping & the
location of the heaters at power station.
2) TURBINE:
11. Fig 9: Turbine cycle
Steam after working in the HP turbine temperature is reduced from 540 deg to 340
deg C. Pressure is also substantially reduced. The line of flow of steam from HP
turbine is COLD REHEAT LINE or CRH LINE.
CRH line again goes to the boiler to be reheated at 540 deg C by the heat of the flue
gas. This line is known as the HOT REHEAT LINE or HRH LINE. HRH Line goes to the
IP Turbine. Exhaust steam from IP Turbine goes to the LP Turbine.
Exhaust of LP Turbine (80 deg C) goes to CONDENSER. COOLING WATER is
circulated to cool down the steam and the condensate drains into the HOTWELL at
35 deg C.
From HOTWELL the condensate is sent back to boiler drum through different
processes and reused.
The pressure of MS line is ~160 Kg/sqcm, that of HRH line is ~33-34 Kg/sq cm and
CRH Line pressure is ~34 Kg/sqcm.
12. With the help of modulation of HP Control valves (HPCV) and IPCV alternator
frequency is kept constant by controlling the amount of inlet steam.
STOP VALVE is used to stop the entry of steam into the turbine.
TurbineSection
Turbine Lub. Oil System
This consists of Main Oil Pump (MOP), Starting Oil Pump (SOP), AC stand by oil
pumps and emergency DC oil pump and jacking oil pump (JOP) (one each per unit).
Emergency stop valves and control valves
Turbine is equipped with emergency stop valves to cut off steam supply and with
control valves regulate steam supply. Emergency stop valves (ESV) are provided in the
mainsteam line and interceptor valves are provided in the hot reheat line. Emergency stop
valves are actuated by servomotor controlled by the protection system. Control valves are
actuated by the governing system through servomotors to regulate steam supply as required
by the load.
Generator
The main shaft of the turbine is connected to the rotor of the main generator. The
shaft rotates the rotor, which cuts the flux of the armature coil, and as a result an induced
emf is produced.
Compressed Air System
There are two types of compressed air system namely Instrument air system or
control air system & Station air system.
