This document discusses boiler efficiency and the factors that affect it. It provides two methods for calculating efficiency - the indirect or loss method, and the direct method. The indirect method calculates efficiency by determining the percentage losses due to factors like flue gas, hydrogen in fuel, moisture, etc. The direct method calculates efficiency as the ratio of useful steam output to heat input. The document also lists ways to improve boiler efficiency, such as oxygen trim systems, flue gas temperature control, and proper water treatment and blowdown control.

ABSTRACT
Heat/light/electrical energy is out today’s necessity and has scarcity also. Energy conservation is key requirement of any industry at all times.
In general, industries use heat energy for conservation of raw material to finished product. The source of heat energy is generally saturated or super heated steam. The steam generation is common use one boiler with carity of fuels. Whatever may be the fuel the generation should be as economy as possible which adds to the product cost. Further the usage of steam and recycling steam condensate back to boiler is an art depending on plant layouts.
In this project the steam generator is water tube boiler fired with rice husk. The steam is transferred to the tyre/tube moulds where tyres/tubes are cured while the heat is rejected to the tyres the condensate forms and this condensate is put back to the boiler. While doing so the steam is also stopped back to boiler without rejecting complete heat to the product. This gets flashed into atmosphere at feed water tank. The science of separation of condensate from steam saves energy. Better the separation more the fuel conservation.
In the steam generator the fuel is burnt to heat the water and form steam. This fuel burnt flue gas carries lot of energy, out through chimney. Prior to exhausting through the heat left in flue need to be recovered, through heat recovery mechanisms’. In this project an air-preheater condensate heat recovery unit is the major energy consuming station.
The Presentation discusses the Air-Heater Performance Indices and the Boiler Performance calculation. One can Calculate the air ingress in the air-heater and the boiler and losses incurred thereby. The presentation also describes in details about the boiler efficiency and its calculation.

Experimental and Process Modelling Study of Integration of a Micro-turbine with an Amine Plant - presentation by Elvis Agbonghae of the University of Leeds at the UKCCSRC Natural Gas CCS Network Meeting at GHGT-12, Austin, Texas, October 2014
Drying bagasse by using flue gas which comes from air preheater to chimney is an optimum solution to enhance efficiency of boiler in sugar factory as bagasse has high calorific value but due to its moisture about 50% not able to use its full heat. The present work suggest to place Cylindrical shell type dryer, in between the air preheater and chimney, and flue gas pass from dryer’s one end and from another end bagasse by carriage, makes dryer to act as a counter flow heat exchanger where flue gas gives its heat at 190°C to the bagasse at 45°C this reduce moisture of bagasse from 50% to 46%, increased CV of bagasse around 784 KJ/kg which increases boiler efficiency from 79% to 81% in sugar industries.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

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.

Customers of this system can search for a automobile; can purchase a automobile easily by selecting fast. On the other hand the stock of automobiles can be maintained perfectly by the automobile shop manager overcoming the drawbacks of existing system.
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.
2. Some important facts on Boiler Efficiency
1. Sec Air temp increased by 20*C =1% Fuel saving.
2. Flue gas temp reduced by 25*C = 1% Fuel saving.
3. Feed water temp increased by 5*C = 1% Fuel saving.
4. Oxygen % at APH I/L increased by 1%=0.32% Fuel Loss
3. Boiler
Use of low air pressure "film burners" helps save oil upto 15% in furnaces.
IBR Steam Boilers means any closed vessel exceeding 22.75 liters.
6. The Indirect Method Testing/Loss Method
L1. Loss due to dry flue gas (sensible heat)
L2. Loss due to hydrogen in fuel (H2)
L3. Loss due to moisture in fuel (H2O)
L4. Loss due to moisture in air (H2O)
L5. Loss due to carbon monoxide (CO)
L6. Loss due to surface radiation, convection and other unaccounted
L7. Unburnt losses in fly ash (Carbon)
L8. Unburnt losses in bottom ash (Carbon)
Boiler Efficiency by indirect method =
100 - (L1 + L2 + L3 + L4 + L5 + L6 + L7 + L8)
7. This is also known as ‘input-output method’ due to the fact that it needs only the useful
output (steam) and the heat input (i.e. fuel) for evaluating the efficiency. This
efficiency can be evaluated using the formula
Q--Quantity of steam generated per hour in kg/hr.
q--Quantity of fuel used per hour in kg/hr.
GCV--gross calorific value of the fuel in kCal/kg of fuel
8. =[(11.6 x 38.16)+{34.8 x (2.03-(6.28/8))}+(4.35x0.53)]/100
= 4.882 Kg/Kg of Coal
=[(3.49)/(21-3.49)]X100
=19.9 %
=[1+(19.9/100)]X100 Kg/Kg of Coal
= 5.8535 Kg/Kg of Coal
9. L1:-
=[(0.467 X 44/12) +0.008+(5.885X 77/100) + (5.885-4.882)X23/100] Kg/Kg of Coal
= 6.274 Kg/Kg of Coal
L1=
=[(6.274) X0.23X(149-33)X100]/3300
= 5.07 %
13. L8:-
= 0.80 X0.467 X 452.5 X 100/ 3300
= 1.152 %
= 100- (5.07+3.52+0.19+2.08+0.424+1.152)
= 86.320%
