Hydrogen energy sources - generation and storageShantam Warkad
Hydrogen is the simplest and most abundant element on earth
It consists of only one proton and one electron.
Hydrogen can store and deliver usable energy, but it doesn't typically exist by itself in nature and must be produced from compounds that contain it.
Wet oxidation is a hydrothermal treatment of aqueous solutions of biologically
recalcitrant and hazardous chemicals/wastes. It is the oxidation of dissolved or suspended
matter in water using an oxidant such as ozone, oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, air etc. It is
referred to as Wet Air Oxidation (WAO) when air is used as an oxidant. The oxidation
reactions generally occur at temperatures above the normal boiling point of water (100
°C) but below its critical point (374 °C). The system must also be maintained under
pressure i) to maintain the solution in liquid form; ii) to avoid excessive evaporation of
water and also iii) to conserve energy, as the evaporation needs latent heat of
vaporization. Under wet conditions, many compounds get oxidized which would
otherwise not oxidize under dry (not wet) conditions, even at the same temperature and
pressure.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*

8. Fundamental of Heat
Heat It is common form of energy .Heat added to a body makes it
hotter removing heat cools it . Heat energy can be turned into
mechanical energy to do work.
Temperature It describes the degree of hotness or coldness of
body .It has two units centigrade and Fahrenheit scale. Conversion
Formula C/5=F-32/9
Calorie It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of
1 g of H2O through 1C*
B.T.U It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of
1Lb of H2O through 1F*.
C.H.U It is standard abbreviation of centigrade heat unit.
Sensible Heat: The heat shown by the thermometer or the heat
which sense the temperature.
Umar Farooq Senior Chemist
NOMAC SIWEP Shuaibah Jeddah 8
9. Fundamental of Heat
Latent Heat: The heat added or taken into produce a change in
state with out any change in temperature.
Latent heat of evaporation: The amount of heat which is added
for the evaporation of liquid is called latent heat of evaporation
Latent heat of vaporization: The amount of heat required to
vaporize 1Lb of water to steam at 14.7psi at 212C* is termed as
latent heat of vaporization.
Latent heat of fusion: It is the amount of heat required to melt 1g
of ice into water at 0C* or 32 F*.
Latent heat of condensation: The amount of heat taken to
condense 1 Lb of steam into water at 14.7psi and 212 F*
Umar Farooq Senior Chemist
NOMAC SIWEP Shuaibah Jeddah 9
10. Heat Transfer
Heat always flows from a warm area to cool area .ie from hot body
to cold body This is accomplished in three ways.
Conduction: In this method heat energy is conducted
through a substance or metal or transferred from one
place to another place or from molecule to molecule .
The amount of heat that will pass through a given
material depends on conductivity of material.
Convection: In this method heat energy is transmitted
from hot to cold body by movement of conveying subs:
(medium).In side boiler ,furnace the conveying
substance is the gases of combustion . In this case the
hot body is flue gases the cold body is boiler tubes, air
pre heater or any things else having a lower temperature
in the flue gas path.
Umar Farooq Senior Chemist
NOMAC SIWEP Shuaibah Jeddah 10
11. Heat Transfer
Radiation In this method heat energy is transfer from
one place to another place with out the help of any
medium. Heat is transferred directly by heater radiation
that require no intermedium.eg heat of sun rating to the
earth.
Saturated ( wet ) Steam Steam containing maximum
water vapors that it can steam is said to be saturated.
When it temperature is the same as that of boiling water
at pressure eg. At 14.7psi water boiled at 212F* and the
saturated steam temperature is 212 F*.
Umar Farooq Senior Chemist
NOMAC SIWEP Shuaibah Jeddah 11
12. Heat Transfer
Super heated steam ( Dry Steam )
The steam having temperature higher than its
saturation temperature. The addition of heat to saturated
steam increase its temperature or sensible heat. The
increase in sensible heat above saturation temperature
is called super heated steam.
If saturated steam at 1500psi and 569.23F* is
heated to 950F* with pressure remaining constant the
amount of super heated is 950-596.23=353.77F*
Un like saturated steam a loss of heat from
superheated steam result is reaction in temperature.

28. The process by which Ca ++ and Mg ++ ion
removed from water is known as water
softening. There are two method is used
Lime soda softening or precipitation
method
Ion exchange method
Umar Farooq Senior Chemist
NOMAC SIWEP Shuaibah Jeddah 28
Water Softening
29. Lime soda softening
It is the process by which calcium and magnesium salt that cause
hardness in H2O are chemically precipitated and removed by
treatment with lime and soda ash .
Mg(HCO3)2 + 2Ca ( OH) Mg(OH )2 + 2CaCO3+2H2O
Ca(HCO3)2 + Ca(OH) 2CaCO3 + 2H2O
Soluble Insoluble
Most of CaCO3 and Mg(OH)2 from a sludge can be removed by
settling and filtration. So lime can be used for removal of temporary
hardness
MgSO4 + 2Ca ( OH) Mg(OH )2 + 2CaSO4
MgCl2 + 2Ca ( OH) Mg(OH )2 + 2CaCl2
The soluble CaSO4 and CaCl2 are produced and contribute “non
carbonated hardness” There must be removed to attain complete
softening of water
Umar Farooq Senior Chemist
NOMAC SIWEP Shuaibah Jeddah 29
30. This is done by treating soluble salt of Ca SO4 and CaCl2 with soda
ash ( Na2Co3).when these salt are precipitated as insoluble
carbonate.
CaSO4+Na2CO3 CaCO3+ NaSO4
CaCl2+Na2CO3 CaCO3+ NaCl
Insoluble Soluble
CaCO3 formed is precipitated as sludge the resulting NaSO4 and NaCl
are highly soluble non scale forming
Use of Coagulant in lime soda process
Coagulant serve to agglomerate the particles in softening process
They speed up settling of sludge
Sodium Aluminates has a special advantage as a coagulant in lime
soda softening .practically in reducing magnesium .
Effective use of coagulant to remove silica in the softening process.
Umar Farooq Senior Chemist
NOMAC SIWEP Shuaibah Jeddah 30
31. Advantage of Lime soda Softening
Main advantage is reduction of hardness alkalinity TDS
and Silica
Prior Clarification of water in not usually necessary
Reduction of TDS can decrease the conductivity of feed
water, there by decreasing blow down and conserving
heat.
Energy can be saved because of solid reduction in hot
process
With hot process lime soda softening removal of oxygen
and CO2 can be achieved up to same extent
Umar Farooq Senior Chemist
NOMAC SIWEP Shuaibah Jeddah 31
32. Disadvantage of Lime soda Softening
The main disadvantage is that while
hardness is remove it is not completely
finished.
Since this process involves adjusting the
amount of lime and soda ash being feed
there fore wide variation in water
composition and flow rate also make
control of this method difficult.
Umar Farooq Senior Chemist
NOMAC SIWEP Shuaibah Jeddah 32
33. Ion Exchange Zeolite Softening
(Na2Al2Sio2O8.XH2O)
Zeolite softening consist of passing water through a bed of material
that possess the property of removing calcium and magnesium from
water and replacing these ion with sodium or potassium. The
exchange takes place rapidly, so that hard water is passing through
Zeolite bed can be almost completely softened ,regardless of
variation in solution, bicarbonates, sulfate , chlorides etc.
Considering only chloride as an example ,for the sake of simplicity
the softening reaction are.
Na2Z+CaCl2 CaZ+ 2NaCl2
Na2Z+MgCl2 MgZ+ 2NaCl2
Material usually applied for this purpose can be naturally occurring
Zeolite I.e. green sand , sulfonated coal or alumina silicate or
synthetic resin based on poly styrene or polyacryllates.
Umar Farooq Senior Chemist
NOMAC SIWEP Shuaibah Jeddah 33
34. Advantage of Na2Z Softening
Softened water has low scaling tendency
Operation is simple and reliable
Regeneration is easy to handle
Waste disposal is not a problem
Softener's are easily available and efficient
Variation in water flow rate up to large
extent have not effect on treated water
quality
Umar Farooq Senior Chemist
NOMAC SIWEP Shuaibah Jeddah 34
35. Disadvantage of Na2Z Softening
Softening process has no effect upon alkalinity.
Turbidity and the presence of iron and aluminum
can be deter mental for the ion exchanger.
Strong oxidizing agent like chlorine present in
the water will attack the resin.
At higher pressure and temperature the
exchange capacity of resin is effected.
Zeolite material is unstable in high acidic and
alkaline media
Umar Farooq Senior Chemist
NOMAC SIWEP Shuaibah Jeddah 35
36. Demineralization
Removal of all kind of ion from water by ion exchange is
called demineralization. Any salt dissolved in water
consist of two types of ions, +Ve ion called cat ion and
-Ve ion's called anion . In demineralization process cat
ion and anion present in water are removed one after
other by organic ion exchange resin
The organic resin's are of four types
Weak Cat ion resin R-COOH Carboxylic group
Strong Cat ion resin R-HSO3 Sulphonic group
Weak anion resin R-NH2OH Phenolic hydroxyl group
Strong anion resin R-NH3OH Amino group
Umar Farooq Senior Chemist

Demineralization
Demineralization or Deionization is the process of removing mineral salts
from water by using the ion exchange process.
Resin is composed of high-molecular-weight polyelectrolyte's that can
exchange their mobile ions for ions of similar charge from the surrounding
medium.
Cation exchange resins will release Hydrogen (H+) ions.
Anion exchange resins will release hydroxyl (OH-) ions.
38. Ion exchange material
Ion exchange material are either natural or
synthetic. The natural ion exchangers are
termed as Zeolite e.g. green sand aluminous
silicate and sulphonated coal. These can be
regenerated by NaCl solution and are used for
the removal of hardness from water.
Synthetic resins are polymer and co-polymers of
organic compounds like phenol, aldehydes,
styrene's and vinyl derivatives. They differ in
properties due to difference polar group.
Umar Farooq Senior Chemist
NOMAC SIWEP Shuaibah Jeddah 38
39. Cat ion Exchangers
Weak Cat ion
This filter bed removers cat ion of salt of weak
acids from water in the following manner e.g.
2RCOO.H + CaSiO3 (RCOO)2 Ca+H2SiO3
2RCOO.H + Ca(HCO3)2 (RCOO)2 Ca+2H2CO3
2RCOO.H + CaCO3 (RCOO)2 Ca+H2CO3
2RCOO.H + Mg(HCO3)2 (RCOO)2 Mg+2H2CO3
2RCOO.H + MgCO3 (RCOO)2 Mg+H2CO3
2RCOO.H + NaHCO3 (RCOO)2 Na+H2CO3
2RCOO.H + NaCO3 (RCOO)2 Na+H2CO3
The water at the outlet of weak cat ion exchanger contain weak acids
Umar Farooq Senior Chemist
NOMAC SIWEP Shuaibah Jeddah 39
40. Weak Cat ion Regeneration
Normally 2% HCl is passed through bed
for half hour .All cat ions that had bed
absorbed by resins during normal service
operation are replaced by H+ ion of acid
and soluble chlorides produced in the
process of regeneration are drained to
waste
(RCOO)2 Ca + HCl 2RCOOH+CaCl2
Exhausted Resin Regenerated Resin
Umar Farooq Senior Chemist
NOMAC SIWEP Shuaibah Jeddah 40
41. Cat ion Exchangers
Strong Cat ion
A regenerated strong cat ion resins has
sulphonic functional group (-HSO3) and
removes cat ion of both weak and strong
salts of acids from water as given below.
2RSO3.H + CaSO4 (RSO3)2 Ca+H2SO4
2RSO3.H + CaCl2 (RSO3)2 Ca+2HCl Strong Acid
2RSO3.H + Ca(NO3)2 (RSO3)2 Ca+2HNO3
2RSO3.H + Ca(HCO3)2 (RSO3)2 Ca+2H2CO3 Weak Acid
The water at the outlet of strong cat ion exchanger cat
ion strong acids ( HCl , H2SO4 , & HNO3 )
Umar Farooq Senior Chemist
NOMAC SIWEP Shuaibah Jeddah 41
42. Cause of Strong Cat ion Exhaust
When strong cat ion filter bed exhausted . It has no H + ion to
exchange with the cat ion (Ca++,Mg+ +,Na+) These cat ion escape in
outlet water. In absence of H + ion . The conductivity of effluent water
decreases and pH is increases , Because H + ion are lightest of all
NaCl escape unchanged form 2nd stage to 3rd stage filter and are
release as NaOH in water
RNH2OH+NaCl RNH2Cl+NaOH
When weak anion filter is exhausted the conductivity
of effluent water increases stately but when strong cat ion resin gets
exhausted. The conductivity of effluent water of weak anion filter
more repaid. It is due to the formation of NaOH is 3rd stage filter by
leaking of Na+ from strong cat ion filter.
Acid Treatment
Fresh 7% HCl solution prepared in deionized water is passed
through the filter almost 40 minute
Umar Farooq Senior Chemist
NOMAC SIWEP Shuaibah Jeddah 42
43. Anion Exchanger
Weak anion
A regenerated weak anion resin which has amino (-NH2) functional
group will remove all the anions of strong acid from water.
RNH2.OH + HCl RNH2Cl +H2O
RNH2.OH + H2SO4 (RNH2)2SO4 +H2O
RNH2.OH + HNO3 RNH2NO3 +H2O
The water at the outlet of weak anion exchanger will contain only
anion of weak acid . If any e.g. CO3
2- , SiO3
2- in the form of H2CO3
and H2SiO3
Alkali Treatment
Fresh 3% NaOH solution prepaired in deionized water is passed
through the filter almost 70 minute
Umar Farooq Senior Chemist
NOMAC SIWEP Shuaibah Jeddah 43
44. Anion Exchanger
Strong anion
This filter remove anion of both weak acids and strong acids.
2RNH3.OH + H2CO3 (RNH3)2CO3 +2H2O
2RNH3.OH + H2SiO3 (RNH3)2SiO3 +2H2O
2RNH3.OH + HCl RNH3Cl +H2O
2RNH3.OH + H2SO4 (RNH3)2SO4 +2H2O
Alkali Treatment
4% NaOH is used pass the alkali through the filter for one hour. This
filter is stopped for regeneration when SiO2 content increasing
trend.
Umar Farooq Senior Chemist
NOMAC SIWEP Shuaibah Jeddah 44
45. Mix Bed Filter
The filter bed contain strong cat ion The cat ion and
anion resin are so intimately mixed that water following
through the bed may be considered to have comes
across a large number of small strong cat ion and strong
anion beds. The water at the outlet of mix bed is of
higher quality purity and its conductivity may be low as
0.5 µs/cm.
Increase in silica content of effluent water
of the mixed bed is a signal of exhaustion of strong anion
resin and increase of conductivity means exhaustion of
cat ion resin.

47. Steam Water Cycle System
The Circulation of water from condenser to boiler is
called water cycle from boiler to turbine and then again
in condenser is called steam cycle collectively it is called
steam water cycle . All the equipment of this system are
explained below.
Condenser:
It is a large hollow box rows of small tubes
are installed in Cold water passes through these tubes ,
steam condense outside these tubes and collected in hot
well which is at the bottom of condenser.
Umar Farooq Senior Chemist
NOMAC SIWEP Shuaibah Jeddah 47
49. Condenser
While converting steam into water a
vacuum is also created in the condenser
which make the turbine operation more
efficient because pressure of exhaust
steam is reduced by condensation than
reason flow of steam will increase the
cover this pressure and this process help
to move the turbine more fast.
Umar Farooq Senior Chemist
NOMAC SIWEP Shuaibah Jeddah 49
50. Surface type condenser
In this type cooling water is inside the tube while
steam is outside the tubes.
Contact type Condenser
In this type of condenser condensation takes place
by direct contact i.e. exhausted steam and
cooling water are mixed together.
Condenser pumps
These pumps takes condensed water from hot well
and give to the main condensate line.
Umar Farooq Senior Chemist
NOMAC SIWEP Shuaibah Jeddah 50
51. Steam jet air Ejector
Since condenser operates under vacuum , small
quantity air comes from joint of the condenser ,
exhausted steam also contains non
condensable gases which are coming from
turbine sealing drains into condenser , this air
will cause the condenser to become air bond.
Air in the condenser will cause a
loss of vacuum and decrease the cooling of
exhaust steam . To eliminate this problem.
There is an instrument which is attached to the
condenser to remove air and ensure vacuum .
This instrument are called steam jet air ejector.
Umar Farooq Senior Chemist
NOMAC SIWEP Shuaibah Jeddah 51
52. Steam jet air Ejector
Vacuum of condenser may drop due to
following reason.
1) By increasing the temperature of cooling water
2) By decreasing the flow of cooling water .
3) An increasing in level of S.J.A.E.
4) Reducing pressure of ejector operating steam.
5) By increasing level of condenser from it normal stage
6) Leakage of diaphragm .
7) Over loading of condenser.

53. Dearator and Feed Tank
There are two type of dearator
1) Spray Type
2) Tray Type.
The working principle of both dearator are same , but
there is difference of design. The spray type dearator are
only used in marine ship.
In power plant house after last heater condensate
water is taken spray type dearator .which removed
dissolved gases like O2,CO2,N2,NH3 from condensate
water. Umar Farooq Senior Chemist
NOMAC SIWEP Shuaibah Jeddah 53
54. Dearator and Feed Tank
Water temperature ( 145 C* ) Comes downward
init a no: of perforated plates and steam
temperature ( 150 C* ) goes to the up ward
direction. So it contact with the water , which is
in form of droplets. Steam heated due to high
temperature gases expands and the solubility
decrease. This mixture is removed from the top
of the dearator which is filled at the bottom of the
Dearator called feed tank.

60. Merits of water tube boilers over
fire tube boilers
Generation of steam is much quicker due to small ratio
of water
content to steam content. This also helps in reaching
the steaming temperature in short time.
Its evaporative capacity is considerably larger and the
steam pressure range is also high-200 bar.
Heating surfaces are more effective as the hot gases
travel at right angles to the direction of water flow.
The combustion efficiency is higher because complete
combustion of fuel is possible as the combustion space
is much larger.
Umar Farooq Senior Chemist
NOMAC SIWEP Shuaibah Jeddah 60
61. Merits of water tube boilers over
fire tube boilers
The boiler can be easily transported and erected as its
different parts can be separated.
The thermal stresses in the boiler parts are less as
different parts of the boiler remain at uniform
temperature due to quick circulation of water.
Damage due to the bursting of water tube is less
serious. Therefore, water tube boilers are sometimes
called safety boilers.
All parts of the water tube boilers are easily accessible
for cleaning, inspecting and repairing.
The water tube boiler's furnace area can be easily
altered to meet the fuel requirements.
Umar Farooq Senior Chemist
NOMAC SIWEP Shuaibah Jeddah 61
62. Demerits
It is less suitable for impure and sedimentary water, as
a small deposit of scale may cause the overheating and
bursting of tube. Therefore, use of pure feed water is
essential.
