Thermodynamic modeling and experimental study of rice husk pyrolysiseSAT Journals
Abstract Pyrolysis of agricultural waste is a promising route for waste to energy generation. Rice husk is a type of agro-waste that is available in plenty in India. It can be used as feed for pyrolysis to produce different products such as (solid) coke and silica, (liquid) tar and other organics and syngas. HSC Chemistry computer aided code for thermodynamic modeling was used to predict the products of rice-husk pyrolysis in this research study. The pyrolysis of rice husk was carried out between 100-1200°C in the pressure range of 1 – 15 bar. The pyrolysis products predicted by HSC calculations were mainly solid coke, gases like H2, CO2, CO, CH4, with small quantity of aromatic compounds like C6H6, C7H8, C8H10 (ethyl benzene), C8H10 (xylenes) and C6H5 –OH. An experimental study for product validation was also done and the results are presented. Keywords: Pyrolysis, syngas, HSC Chemistry, aromatic compounds.

SYNGAS PRODUCTION BY DRY REFORMING OF METHANE OVER CO-PRECIPITATED CATALYSTSIAEME Publication
The syngas manufacturing from the reforming of methane with carbon dioxide is tempting because of output in terms of extra pure synthesis gas and lower H2 to CO ratio than other synthesis gas production methods like either partial oxidation or steam reforming. For production of long-chain hydrocarbons though the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, lower H2 to CO ratio is required and important, as it is a most likely feedstock. In recent decades, CO2 utilization has become more and more important in view of the emergent global warming phenomenon. On the environmental point of view, methane reforming is tantalizing due to the reduction of carbon dioxide and methane emissions as both are consider as dangerous greenhouse gases. Commercially, as cost effectively, nickel is used for methane reforming reactions due to its availability and lower cost compared to noble metals. Number of catalysts endures rigorous deactivation because of carbon deposition. Mainly carbon formation is because of methane decomposition and CO disproportionate. It is important and required to recognize essential steps of activation and conversion of CH4 and CO2 to design catalysts that minimize deactivation. Effect of promoters on activity and stability were studied in the detail. In order to develop the highly active with minimum coke formation the alkali metal oxides and ceria/zirconia/magnesia promoters were incorporated in the catalysts. The influence of ZrO2, CeO2 and MgO, in the performance of Ni-Al2O3 catalyst, prepare by co-precipitation method was studied in detailed. The XRD, FTIR, and BET and reactivity test for different promoted and unprompted catalyst was carried out.

Episode 3 : Production of Synthesis Gas by Steam Methane Reforming
History of Synthesis Gas
In 1780, Felice Fontana discovered that combustible gas develops if water vapor is passed over carbon at temperatures over 500 °C. This CO and H2 containing gas was called water gas and mainly used for lighting purposes in the19th century.
As of the beginning of the 20th century, H2/CO-mixtures were used for syntheses of hydrocarbons and then, as a consequence, also called synthesis gas.
Haber and Bosch discovered the synthesis of ammonia from H2 and N2 in 1910 and the first industrial ammonia synthesis plant was commissioned in 1913.
The production of liquid hydrocarbons and oxygenates from syngas conversion over iron catalysts was discovered in 1923 by Fischer and Tropsch.
Much of the syngas conversion processes were being developed in Germany during the first and second world wars at a time when natural resources were becoming scare and alternative routes for hydrogen production, ammonia synthesis, and transportation fuels were a necessity.
In 1943/44, this was applied for large-scale production of artificial fuels from synthesis gas in Germany.
In this project we basically studied scope of this project, its feasibility and market assessment, raw material availability, different routes to produce Syngas and their comparison, process selection and its complete description, its P&ID, and environmental consideration.

Combine Effect of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Varying Inlet Air Press...IOSR Journals
Abstract: To meet stringent vehicular exhaust emission norms worldwide, several exhaust pre-treatment and
post treatment techniques have been employed in modern engines. Also concern of environmental pollution and
energy crisis all over the world have caused the research attention on reduction of diesel engine exhaust
emissions and saving of energy simultaneously. This investigation mainly focuses on reducing exhaust emission
and energy saving by investigating diesel combustion with neat diesel fuel and a new attachment of pressurized
inlet air with Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system. Experiment was conducted in a four stroke direct
injection water cooled constant speed diesel engine with pressurize inlet air attachment and EGR system, which
is typically used in agricultural farm machinery. EGR was applied to the experimental engine separately and
also with varying pressure of inlet air. In this study, compressor was used to pressurize the inlet air. The
experiments were carried out to experimentally evaluate the performance and emissions for combine effect
different EGR rates and varying inlet air pressure of the engine. Emissions of hydrocarbon (HC), NOx, carbon
monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and temperature of the exhaust gas were measured. Performance
parameters such as Brake thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) were calculated. It was
found that combined effect of pressurize inlet air attachment and EGR system provided better result on engine
performance than individual EGR effect. Reductions in NOx and exhaust gas temperature were observed but
emissions of HC, CO and CO2 were found to have increased with combine usage of EGR and inlet air pressure.
Thus the modified engine provides more NOx reduction and better fuel economy without reducing useful
characteristics (brake power, brake thermal efficiency etc) of the engine.

The natural greenhouse effect is essential in maintaining the proper temperature for life on Earth. Without it, Earth would be permanently covered with ice.
CO2 is not the only greenhouse gas. Several gases are even stronger infrared absorbers specifically, methane ozone nitrous oxide and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
The heat of combustion of methanol is only about 50% of that of a typical gasoline on a mass basis, but methanol has a high octane number 106 compared with 100 for the gasoline hydrocarbon isooctane and about 92 for premium gasoline.
Combustion is a chemical process in which a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen and gives off heat. The original substance is called the fuel, and the source of oxygen is called the oxidizer. The fuel can be a solid, liquid, or gas, although for airplane propulsion the fuel is usually a liquid. The oxidizer, likewise, could be a solid, liquid, or gas.

PRESENTATION ON PLANT DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURING OF HYDROGENPriyam Jyoti Borah
Steam reforming or steam methane reforming is a method for producing syngas (hydrogen and carbon monoxide) by reaction of hydrocarbons with water. Commonly natural gas is the feedstock. The main purpose of this technology is hydrogen production.The reaction is conducted in a reformer vessel where a high pressure mixture of steam and methane are put into contact with a nickel catalyst. Catalysts with high surface-area-to-volume ratio are preferred because of diffusion limitations due to high operating temperature. Examples of catalyst shapes used are spoked wheels, gear wheels, and rings with holes. Additionally, these shapes have a low pressure drop which is advantageous for this application.

Making model of dual axis solar tracking with Maximum Power Point Trackingijsrd.com
Now a days solar harvesting is more popular. As the popularity become higher the material quality and solar tracking methods are more improved. There are several factors affecting the solar system. Major influence on solar cell, intensity of source radiation and storage techniques The materials used in solar cell manufacturing limit the efficiency of solar cell. This makes it particularly difficult to make considerable improvements in the performance of the cell, and hence restricts the efficiency of the overall collection process. Therefore, the most attainable maximum power point tracking method of improving the performance of solar power collection is to increase the mean intensity of radiation received from the source used. The purposed of tracking system controls elevation and orientation angles of solar panels such that the panels always maintain perpendicular to the sunlight. The measured variables of our automatic system were compared with those of a fixed angle PV system. As a result of the experiment, the voltage generated by the proposed tracking system has an overall of about 28.11% more than the fixed angle PV system. There are three major approaches for maximizing power extraction in medium and large scale systems. They are sun tracking, maximum power point (MPP) tracking or both.

Reducing Silicon Real Estate and Switching Activity Using Low Power Test Patt...ijsrd.com
Power dissipation is a challenging problem for today's system-on-chip design and test. This paper presents a novel architecture which generates the test patterns with reduced switching activities; it has the advantage of low test power and low hardware overhead. The proposed LP-TPG (test pattern generator) structure consists of modified low power linear feedback shift register (LP-LFSR), m-bit counter, gray counter, NOR-gate structure and XOR-array. The seed generated from LP-LFSR is EXCLUSIVE-OR ed with the data generated from gray code generator. The XOR result of the sequence is single input changing (SIC) sequence, in turn reduces the switching activity and so power dissipation will be very less. The proposed architecture is simulated using Modelsim and synthesized using Xilinx ISE9.2.The Xilinx chip scope tool will be used to test the logic running on FPGA.
Defending Reactive Jammers in WSN using a Trigger Identification Service.ijsrd.com
In the last decade, the greatest threat to the wireless sensor network has been Reactive Jamming Attack because it is difficult to be disclosed and defend as well as due to its mass destruction to legitimate sensor communications. As discussed above about the Reactive Jammers Nodes, a new scheme to deactivate them efficiently is by identifying all trigger nodes, where transmissions invoke the jammer nodes, which has been proposed and developed. Due to this identification mechanism, many existing reactive jamming defending schemes can be benefited. This Trigger Identification can also work as an application layer .In this paper, on one side we provide the several optimization problems to provide complete trigger identification service framework for unreliable wireless sensor networks and on the other side we also provide an improved algorithm with regard to two sophisticated jamming models, in order to enhance its robustness for various network scenarios.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Abstract— Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy resources
and its rapid depletion is of widespread concern whereas at
the same time global warming has prompted researchers to
develop technologies to increase the combustor performance
without any harmful impact on our
environment.𝑁𝑂𝑥 Formation mechanisms have been
discussed. Classification of 𝑁𝑂𝑥 reduction techniques has
been done. Important works related with swirling air
injection into the combustion chamber for distributed
combustion reactions have been discussed.
Key words: 𝑁𝑂𝑥, Fossil fuels, swirling air injection, global
warming
I. INTRODUCTION
Combustion is defined in Webster’s dictionary as “rapid
oxidation generating heat, or both light and heat; also, slow
oxidation accompanied by relatively little heat and no
light”[1].It has become very essential for the existence of
humans on this planet. Ranging from house lighting, house
heating, food cooking, motor vehicles, to spacecraft, many
things shows the importance of combustion in our daily life.
In a larger scale, industrial processes rely even more heavily
on combustion. To give a few examples, iron, steel factories,
cement manufacturing industry, transportation system rely
almost entirely on combustion. It is estimated that, at
present, approximate 90% global energy use comes from
combustion processes, and the global energy need increase
by 3% per year [2]. By seeing its enormous uses and
applications it can be said that in the coming years,
combustion will remain the main source of energy provider.
The combustion process typically burns fuel in a device to
create heat and power. Most fuels are mixtures of
hydrocarbons, e.g. gasoline and diesel fuels, which are
compounds that contain hydrogen and carbon atoms. In
‘perfect’ combustion, oxygen in the air would combine with
all the hydrogen in the fuel to form water and with all the
carbon in the fuel to form carbon dioxide. Nitrogen in the air
would remain unaffected. In reality, the combustion process
is not ‘perfect’, and combustion devices emit several types
of pollutants as combustion byproducts. Pollutants generated
by combustion include particulate matter [1] suchas fly ash,
soot, various aerosols, etc.; the sulphur oxides, 𝑆𝑂2and 𝑆𝑂3;
unburned andpartially burned hydrocarbons (UHC); oxides
of nitrogen,𝑁𝑂𝑥,which represents thecombination of 𝑁𝑂
and 𝑁𝑂2; carbon monoxide, 𝐶𝑂; and greenhouse gases,
particularly 𝐶𝑂2 [3].These pollutants affect our environment
and human health in many ways.𝑁𝑂𝑥is an unwanted product
of combustion process and can cause health and
environmental impacts like ground-level ozone, acid rain,
particles, water quality deterioration, climate change, toxic
chemicals and visibility impairment [4].
The present paper reviews of recent works in the
development of new technology on the reduction of 𝑁𝑂𝑥
emission in gas turbine combustion. The concentration of
𝑁𝑂𝑥 and hydrocarbon in the gas turbine combustion get
increase due to the local non-uniform mixing of air and fuel.
Conventional mixing methods yield the non-uniformity of
the fuel concentration, which causes a non-uniform
temperature distribution. As a result of the non-uniformity
of the temperature, difficulties arise in controlling the
exhaust gases. Thus, the uniform distribution of fuel
concentration in the combustor is essential to enhancing the
mixing with air, which plays a significant role in the
improvement of combustion efficiency and control of
exhaust gases. In the recent years a significant amount of
work has been done in the reduction of 𝑁𝑂𝑥 emission in gas
turbine combustion. This paper discusses different ways
implemented to reduce 𝑁𝑂𝑥 emission over the years.
II. 𝑁𝑂𝑥FORMATION MECHANISM
There are mainly twochemical mechanisms for the
formation of nitrogen oxides during combustion, thermal
and prompt mechanism.
A. Thermal 𝑁𝑂𝑥
Thermal 𝑁𝑂𝑥 is formed by the high temperature reaction of
nitrogen with oxygen and consists of two chain reactions
[5].
𝑁2 + 𝑂2 → 𝑁𝑂 + 𝑁 (2.1)
𝑁 + 𝑂2 → 𝑁𝑂 + 𝑂 (2.2)
Thermal 𝑁𝑂𝑥increases exponentially with
temperature as shown in Fig. 1, and it is generally the
predominant mechanism in combustion processes where
temperature reaches above 1100 °C.
B. Prompt 𝑁𝑂𝑥
Prompt 𝑁𝑂𝑥 is formed by the relatively fast reaction
between nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrocarbonradicals. It is
denoted by overall reaction. This process is more
complicated than thermal 𝑁𝑂𝑥 as it consists of a large
number of reactions [5].
𝐶𝐻 + 𝑁2 → 𝐻𝐶𝑁 + 𝑁 (2.3)
𝑁 + 𝑂2 → 2𝑁𝑂 (2.4)
III. 𝑁𝑂𝑥 REDUCTION TECHNIQUES
For reducing 𝑁𝑂𝑥emissions from combustion processes,
there aretwo main procedures, named primary and
secondary measures. When emission is reduced by
modifying combustion devices to minimize the amount of
𝑁𝑂𝑥 generated in the first place is called primary measures
while secondary measures deals with the treatment of flue
gases by some attachments like catalytic converters.
A. Pre-Treatment
Flue gas recirculation is the method for the pre-treatment of
flue gases which comes under primary measures.In this

method, adding inert gas to the flame zone in combustion
can lower the overall flame temperature. The inert gas
requires heat from the combustion process, whichlowers the
overallcombustion temperature. 70 % reduction of 𝑁𝑂𝑥 can
be obtained by applying external flue gas recirculation [6].
Internal furnace gas recirculation and external flue gas
recirculation are methods of flue gas recirculation for
reducing 𝑁𝑂𝑥 [7]. An example of external flue gas
recirculation is shown in fig. 2.
Fig. 1: Influence of temperature on CO and NOx emissions
[8]
B. Post-Treatment
In the secondary measures or post treatment, 𝑁𝑂𝑥 is
removed from exhaust gases after it has already been formed
in gas chamber. Most common way to post treat the exhaust
gases is to use catalytic converter [9-10]. The 𝑁𝑂𝑥
emissions from catalytic combustion can be as low as 1 ppm
[11].

IV. MECHANISM TO REDUCE 𝑁𝑂𝑥 EMISSIONS
Swirling flows are defined as a flow undergoing
simultaneous axial–tangential and vortex motions. From the
application of a spiralling motion, a swirl velocity
component (tangential velocity component) being imparted
to the flow by the use of swirl vanes, axial-plus-tangential
entry swirl generators or by direct tangential entry into the
chamber [12].The degree of swirl or rotation is defined by a
non-dimensional number called swirl number. The swirl
number S, [13] can be written as
𝑆 =
𝐺 𝜃
𝐺 𝑥 𝑟
(4.1)
Where 𝐺 𝜃 is the axial flux of swirl (angular) momentum, 𝐺𝑥
is the axial flux of axial momentum and r is a characteristic
radius such as the burner radius.
Swirl increases the mixing of fuel and air and has
been shown to increase combustion efficiency. It also
decreases NOx emissions in industrial burners and gas
turbine engines. Swirl can accomplish these benefits by
optimizing the time that the products of reaction stay within
the reaction zone. The preliminary experiments suggested
that induced swirl flows might have the potential to achieve
some reduction in pollutant formation and improvement in
efficiency as found in swirl stabilized combustion [14].
For methane and natural gas burners, it was found
[15] that the major source of NOx production was related to
the residence time at high temperature. Thus, one means to
reduce NOx emissions is to decrease the amount of time that
fluid particles remainat high temperatures.
Hatami [16] discussed the effect of swirl on
𝑁𝑂𝑥production in a combustion chamber by first allowing
air entry without and then with swirl.It was seen that the
maximum amount of NO produced was 10ppm without
swirling flow. Whereas, in case of swirling
flow,𝑁𝑂concentration was very low and 𝑁𝑂2concentration
also diminished rapidly. Swirling flow caused the strong
recirculation in the combustion chamber and lead to the
combustion temperatures and the oxygen partial pressure got
lowered and therefore swirl type of combustor was found to
be more advantageous than parallel flow diffusion type
burners.
Zhou et al. [17] worked on “Studies on the effect of
swirl on NO formation in methane/air turbulent combustion”
and their findings are as followings.
Both predictions and experiments shown, indicated
the increase in swirl number from 0 to1, the thermal NO at
first increased and then decreased. In contrast, the fuel NO
at first decreased and then increased. This studies also
shown that the increase in swirl number first lead to a rapid
decrease and then decrease of temperature near the exit.
Spangelo [18] Worked on “Experimental and Theoretical
Studies of a Low NOx SwirlBurner” and his findings are as
followings.
A novel low𝑁𝑂𝑥swirl stabilized gas burner
concept, the swirl burner, has been studied experimentally,
theoretically and numerically. Flame stabilization, rapid air
and fuel mixing and internal flue gas recirculation had been
provided by a strongly swirling flow generated in this
patented burner concept. 𝑁𝑂𝑥emissions had been measured
below 25 and 45 ppmv dry corrected to 3% 𝑂2 in the flue
gases usingmethane and propane as fuel respectively.
Studying the effect of varying geometricalparameters on the
emissions of 𝑁𝑂𝑥, fuel and air supply pressure and flame
stability, haveresulted in an optimized burner design. Meier
et al. [19] worked on “Reaction zone structuresand mixing
characteristics of partially premixed swirling CH4/air flames
in a gas turbinemodel combustor” and their findings are as
followings.
The mixing, reaction progress, and flame front
structures of partially premixed flames had been
investigated in a gas turbine model combustor using
different laser techniques comprising laser Doppler
velocimetry for the characterization of the flow field, Raman
scattering for simultaneous multi-species andtemperature

measurements, and planar laser-induced fluorescence of CH
for the visualizationof the reaction zones. Swirling CH4/air
flames with Re numbers between 7500 and 60,000had been
studied to identify the influence of the turbulent flow field
on the thermochemicalstate of the flames and the structures
of the CH layers. The results found indicate that the flames
exhibit more characteristics of a diffusion flame (with
connected flame zones) than of a uniformly premixed flame.
Swirl combustors with tangential air entry have
shown to exhibit high swirl intensity, which helps reduce
NOx emission and enhance flame stability [20].The role of
swirling air injection into the combustion chamber for
distributed combustion reactions had been explored by
injecting air tangentially into the combustion chamber at
high air velocity to form swirling motion. A cylindrical
combustor incorporating tangential air injection had been
used in this study. The experimental results obtained depicts
to achieve near zero pollutant emissions at gas turbine
operational conditions where even higher pressures were
attributed, which would allow the combustor to sustain
flame at even lower equivalence ratios, where much lower
NO (near zero) emissions were produced without suffering
from incomplete combustion and high CO emissions
[21].Some works [22-23] have also been reported for ultra-
low emissions of 𝑁𝑂𝑥 and CO and significant improvement
in pattern factor, low sound emission levels greatreduction
in emission had been achieved.
V. CONCLUSION
For a cleaner environment, low levels of pollutants emission
(such as,𝑁𝑂𝑥, CO, unburned hydro- carbons and soot) from
gas turbine combustors need to be achieved which leads to
the motivation to develop novel combustion techniques.
Swirl mixing of fuel creates recirculation zone which
provides high and uniform temperatures in the combustion
zone. This hot mixture provides the ignition energy for the
fuel to ignite and stabilize the flame. Study of important
literatures show that the use of swirl combustor greatly
improves the emission of 𝑁𝑂𝑥.
