Minor losses are a major part in calculating the flow, pressure, or energy reduction in piping systems. Liquid moving through pipes carries momentum and energy due to the forces acting upon it such as pressure and gravity. Just as certain aspects of the system can increase the fluids energy, there are components of the system that act against the fluid and reduce its energy, velocity, or momentum. Friction and minor losses in pipes are major contributing factors.

Basics Fundamentals and working Principle of Centrifugal Pump. Centrifugal pumps are the rotodynamic machines that convert mechanical energy of shaft into kinetic and pressure energy of Fluid which may be used to raise the level of fluid. A centrifugal pump is named so, because the energy added by the impeller to the fluid is largely due to centrifugal effects.

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.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
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.

2. INTRODUCTION
• PUMP
1. A device which raises or transfer liquids at the expense of power
input.
2. A machines designed to elevate, deliver and move various liquids
3. A unit that transfer the mechanical energy of a motor or an engine
into hydraulic (kinetic and pressure ) energy of a liquid.
CLASSIFICATION OF PUMPS
according to design and principle of operation, pumps can be
broadly classified as follows:
1. Dynamic pumps
2. Positive displacement pumps
3. CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS
Centrifugal pumps belong to the category of dynamic pressure pumps
wherein the pumping of liquid or generation of head is affected by
rotary motion of one or more rotating wheels called the impellers.
A centrifugal pump consists of the following main parts:
i. Impeller
ii. Casing
iii. Suction pipe
iv. Delivery pipe.
Impeller:- an impeller is a wheel (or rotor) with a series of backward
curved vanes(blades). It is mounted on a shaft which is usually
coupled with electric motor or an internal combustion engine.by virtue
of force interaction between the vanes and the liquid, the mechanical
energy of the driver is transmitted into the energy of the flow.
4.
5. Casing:-
The casing is an airtight chamber surrounding the pump impeller. It
contain suction and discharge arrangements, supporting for bearings and
facilitates to house the rotor assembly. It has provision to fix stuffing box
and house packing materials which prevent external leakage.
Purpose of the casing are:
1. To guide water to and from the impeller,
2. To partially convert the kinetic energy into pressure energy
6. Suction pipe:-
The pipe which connects the centre/eye of the impeller to sump
from which liquid is to be lifted is known as suction pipe. The pipe is
laid airtight so that there is no possibilities of formation of air pockets.
Suction pipe is provided with a strainer at its lower ends to prevent the
entry of solid particles, debries etc. into the pump. The lower end of the
pipe is also fitted with a non-return foot valve which does not permit the
liquid to drain out of the suction pipe when pump is not working ; this
also helps in priming.
Delivery pipe:-
The pipe which is connected at outlet of the pump and delivers the
liquid to the required height is known as delivery pipe. A regulating
valve is provided on the delivery pipe to regulate the supply flow of
liquid.
7. Classification of centrifugal pumps
Shape and Type of Casing:-
1. volute or diffuser cfp
2. vortex type cfp.
3. volute casing with guided blades cfp.
8. Based on impeller design
1. Shrouded or closed impeller
2. Open impeller
3. Semi- open impeller
9. Work done by the Centrifugal Pump
• The expression for work done or energy supplied by the impeller of a
centrifugal pump on the liquid flowing through the pump. The liquid
enters the impeller at its centre and leaves at its outer periphery.
Assumption
i. Liquid enters the impeller eye in radial direction, the whirl
component Vwl (of the inlet absolute velocity V1) is zero and the
flow component Vf1 =V1, α=90 degree.
ii. No energy loss in the impeller due to friction and eddy formation.
iii. No loss due to shock at entry.
iv. There is a uniform velocity distribution in the narrow passage
formed between two adjacent vanes.

23. Q.1 A centrifugal pump working in a dock pump 1565 litres per second
against a mean lift of 6.1m when the impeller rotates at 200 r.p.m. the
impeller diameter is 1.22 m and area at outer periphery is 6450 cm2. if
the vanes are set back at an angle of 26 degree at the outlet, determine:
i. Manometric(hydraulic ) efficiency
ii. Power required to drive the pump
iii. Minimum speed to start pumping if the ratio of external to internal
diameter is 2.
24. Slip in Centrifugal Pump
• Due to inertial effects, the liquid which is trapped between the
impeller vanes is reluctant to move round with the impeller. This
results in a difference of pressure force across the vanes; there being a
high pressure on the leading surface and low pressure on the trailing
surface. This difference of pressure is known as vane loading and it
increases with an increase in the number of vanes.
• Because of pressure variation, a velocity gradient exist across the
channel.
• On the high pressure side (leading surface) liquid follows the blade
contour; it leaves the blade tangentially.
• On the low pressure side, the liquid leaves the vanes with a certain
circumferential component. The liquid will thus discharged at a
certain average angle β2’ which is less than the geometric blade angle
β2 .
25. • Due to deviation in the flow path, the tangential components get
reduced from 𝑉 𝑤2 to 𝑉 𝑤2 ’.
• The difference or deviation (𝑉 𝑤2 - 𝑉 𝑤2 ’)is called slip of the impeller.
• The slip coefficient is then defined as = '

26. Effect of variation of Liquid Flow rate on the
Head
• When pump operates and discharges the liquid at its designed speed,
the efficiency is maximum. If there is variation in flow rate , its
efficiency reduced due to shocks occurs at entrance to the impeller,
resulting loss of head.
1. When discharge is decreases , the flow velocity decreases Vf1 to Vf1‘.
If the tangential velocity is constant(pump running at same speed)
then u1 unchanged. In the new velocity triangle, new relative velocity
component is not follow the path(contour) of vane with angle β1 .
Therefore shock occurs at entry to impeller. But when the Vf1‘ is
fixed and flow taking place along the vane, then it sudden decreases
the tangential velocity brings about shock and resulting there is loss
of head.
27. Q.1 A centrifugal pump has an impeller of 100cm in diameter(external)
and it delivers 1200 lit/s against a head of 100m. The impeller runs at
980 rpm and width at outlet is 8.5 cm. if leakage loss is 3% of discharge ,
external mechanical loss is 9 kw and the hydraulic efficiency is 79%.
Calculate
1. Blade angle at outlet
2. The power required to drive the pump
3. Overall efficiency of the pump.
28. Design consideration of Centrifugal Pumps
1. Speed ratio: it is the ratio of peripheral speed at exit (u2) to the
theoretical velocity of jet corresponding to manometric head(Hmano).
; varies from 0.95 to 1.25
2. Flow ratio: it is the ratio of the velocity of flow at exit to the
theoretical velocity of the jet corresponding to manometric
head(Hmano ).

29. Specific speed
• The specific speed of a centrifugal pump is defined as the speed of a
geometrically similar pump which would deliver unit quantity( one
cubic meter of liquid per second) against a unit head ( one meter). It is
denoted by Ns. The specific speed is a characteristic of a pumps which
can be used as a basis for comparing the performance of different
pumps.

35. NPSH= Total suction Head
NPSH is total suction head and it is given by the manufacturer. For any
pump installation , distinction need to be made between the required
NPSH and available NPSH. The required NPSH varies with the pump
design , speed and capacity of pump. When the pump is installed , the
available NPSH is calculated from the eqn.
In order to have cavitation free operation of centrifugal pump, available
NPSH > required NPSH

36. Cavitation in Centrifugal pump
Cavitation begins to appear in centrifugal pumps when the pressure at
the suction falls below the vapour pressure of the liquid. The intensity
of cavitation increases with the decrease in value of NPSH.
In a centrifugal pump , the pressure is lowest at the inlet of the
impeller and hence vapour bubbles are formed in the suction region.
These bubbles are carried along with the flowing liquid to higher
pressure region near the exit of impeller where these vapour bubbles
collapse.
Due to sudden collapsing of bubbles on metalic surface the high
pressure is created, which cause pitting action on metalic surface and
produces noise and vibrations.
37. • Factors responsible for cavitation
i. High impeller speed
ii. Small diameter of suction pipe and inlet of impeller
iii. Too high specific speed
iv. Required NPSH > Available NPSH
v. High temperature of flowing fluid
The harmful effects of cavitation are:-
i. Pitting and erosion of surface
ii. Sudden drop in head, efficiency
iii. Noise and vibration.
Thomas cavitation factor is used to indicate the onset of
cavitation.

39. Reciprocating pump
• The reciprocating pump is a positive displacement pump as it sucks
and raises the liquid by actually displacing it with a piston/plunger
that executes a reciprocating motion in a closely fitting cylinder.
• The amount of liquid pumped is equal to the volume displaced by the
piston.
• Application:- light oil pumping, feeding small boilers condensate
return, pneumatic pressure system, oil drilling operations.

40. Single –Acting Pump
Main parts of a reciprocating pump are:
1. Cylinder 2. Piston 3. Suction valve 4. Delivery valve
5. Suction pipe 6. Delivery pipe 7. Crank and connecting rod
mechanism operated by a power source.
41. Working of a single-acting pump
A single acting reciprocating pump has one suction pipe and one
delivery pipe. It is usually placed above the liquid level in the sump.
When the crank rotates the piston moves backward and forward inside
the cylinder.
Initially the crank is at the inner dead centre (I.D.C.) and crank rotates
in the clockwise direction . As the crank rotates , the piston moves
towards right and a vacuum is created on the left side of the piston.
This vacuum causes suction valve to open and consequently the liquid
is forced from the sump into the left side of the piston.
When the crank is at the outer dead centre (O.D.C.) the suction stroke
is completed and the left side of the cylinder is full of liquid.
When the crank further turns from O.D.C to I.D.C. the piston moves
inward to the left and high pressure is built up in the
42. In the cylinder . The delivery valve opens and the liquid is
forced into the delivery pipe.
The liquid is carried to the discharge tank through the delivery
pipe. At the end of delivery stroke the crank comes to the I.D.C.
and the piston is at the extreme left position.
