This document discusses water recycling and various methods for recycling water. It begins by explaining that water is an important resource but can become scarce, so recycling water is important. It then describes several processes involved in water recycling, including microfiltration to remove bacteria and viruses, reverse osmosis to remove salts, and advanced oxidation to remove contaminants. Finally, it discusses some basic water recycling techniques that can be done at home.
Environmental impacts of hydroelectric powermrshansen
Damming rivers can permanently alter river systems and wildlife habitats. A dam blocks fish migration, stops nutrients from flowing downstream, and changes water quality, all of which negatively impact the river ecosystem. The Iron Gates dams on the Danube River block important spawning sites and do not have fish passes, disrupting the migration and spawning of endangered sturgeon species.
This document discusses water hardness and water recycling. It defines hard water as water with high mineral content, mainly calcium and magnesium ions. Hard water causes reduced soap lather and limescale buildup. Temporary hardness can be reduced by boiling or lime softening, while permanent hardness requires ion exchange. Water recycling involves treating wastewater to remove solids and impurities so it can be reused for irrigation, industry or groundwater recharge. The three-step process includes physical, biological and chemical treatment systems. Recycled water has various utilization applications.
The proposed hydropower scheme would be constructed in the French Alps, damming the Ubaye River to create an artificial reservoir with a max surface elevation of 1650m. Water from the reservoir would flow through a 2558m penstock and power a 495MW Pelton turbine located 850m below in the Lac de Serre-Ponçon reservoir. The scheme is estimated to have an average power output of 50.47MW and annual energy generation potential of 442GWh, with an efficiency of 87%. Improvements could include adding a pumped-storage system or replacing the Pelton turbine with a more efficient Turgo turbine.
This document contains information about Aneesha Agarwal's school details and a report on the topic of water. It discusses water recycling, factors to consider in water recycling programs, benefits of using recycled water for irrigation, sources of hard water including calcium and magnesium, effects of hard water, water resources, hydro power, tidal energy, the Narmada Bachao Andolan movement, sustainability of groundwater, causes of groundwater overutilization in India, benefits of rainwater harvesting, and watershed management.
Hydroelectricity
Hydroelectricity is electricity produced from hydropower. In 2015, hydropower generated 16.6% of the world's total electricity and 70% of all renewable electricity, and was expected to increase by about 3.1% each year for the next 25 years.
The cost of hydroelectricity is relatively low, making it a competitive source of renewable electricity.
The hydro station consumes no water, unlike coal or gas plants.
The typical cost of electricity from a hydro station larger than 10 megawatts is 3 to 5 U.S. cents per kilowatt hour.
With a dam and reservoir it is also a flexible source of electricity, since the amount produced by the station can be varied up or down very rapidly (as little as a few seconds) to adapt to changing energy demands.
Once a hydroelectric complex is constructed, the project produces no direct waste, and in many cases it has a considerably lower output level of greenhouse gases than fossil fuel powered energy plants.
Advantages
Flexibility
Hydropower is a flexible source of electricity since stations can be ramped up and down very quickly to adapt to changing energy demands.
Hydro turbines have a start-up time of the order of a few minutes.
It takes around 60 to 90 seconds to bring a unit from cold start-up to full load; this is much shorter than for gas turbines or steam plants.
Power generation can also be decreased quickly when there is a surplus power generation.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptxSSR02
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
Or: Beyond linear.
Abstract: Equivariant neural networks are neural networks that incorporate symmetries. The nonlinear activation functions in these networks result in interesting nonlinear equivariant maps between simple representations, and motivate the key player of this talk: piecewise linear representation theory.

4. INTRODUCTION
Electricity generation is the process of generating electric power
from other source of energy. Generally in KTPS, thermal power plant
prime mover is steam. When water is heated turns into steam and
steam passes through the turbine moves and electric produced, this
process is repeated again and again. Coal is the energy & water is the
blood for the thermal power plant. Some prefer to use the term en-
ergy because such facilities converted forms of heat energy into
electrical energy.
DAMODAR VALLEY CORPORATION
Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) is the first multipur-
pose river valley project of independent India formed in July 7,
1948.
DVC has its command area of approx 24,235 sq. kms. The
upper valley consists of two districts (Dhanbad & Bokaro) and
eight districts partly (Hazaribagh, koderma, Giridih, chhatra,
Palamu, Ranchi, Lohardaga & Dumka) in Jharkhand. The lower
valley consists of five districts partly (Burdwan, Hooghly,
Hawrah, Bankura & purulia) in West Bengal.
DVC was set up with the intent of promoting and operat-
ing schemes for social and economic upliftment in the valley
region and has been successfully doing the same for more than
six decades un perfect harmony. Effective water management
by the corporation has turned the devastating river Damodar
from ‘River of Sorrow’ to a ‘River of Prospects and Opportuni-
ties’. DVC facilitated irrigation, industrial and domestic water
5. supply, soil conservation and promotion of social integration in
the valley area.
DVC has been generating, transmitting and distributing
electrical energy since 1953 and has successfully met the ex-
pectation of the consumers to a great height. For a period of
more than 68 years. DVC has maintained a lead role in the
eastern region, meeting the challenges of time and new tech-
nologies.
KODERMA THERMAL POWER STATION
This site is located at Banjhedih, block-Jainagar, dist-
Koderma, Jharkhand. The site is 5 KM far from Barakar river.
The nearest railway stations are Herodih & koderma junction.
Line of eastern railways passes about 1.5 KM from site. The wa-
ter requirement of the thermal power plant including expan-
sion will be from Barkar river Telaiya Dam. A closed cycle circu-
lating water system is proposed. Make up water requirement
for present stage of the plant is estimated at 2800m3
/day.
NECESSITY OF THE POWER PLANT
“Power to progress”
Energy provides the powers to progress. The natural re-
sources of a country may be turned into wealth if they are de-
veloped, used and exchanged for other goods this cannot be
achieved without energy. Availability of sufficient energy and
its proper use in any country can result in this people using
from substaintial level to the highest standard of living. It has
been found that countries whose national output is mainly ag-
ricultural and whose population lives mostly in rural communi-
6. ties enjoy low per capita growth of energy consumption is
dependent is the extent to which industrial activity forms a part
of its energy usage a distinct changes. Once energy is made
suitable in excess of domestic needs it has been round that it is
not used solely as a consumer good but becomes factor of pro-
duction.
A growing proportion of energy is being met all over the
world the electricity. This trend will further be stimulated be-
cause of increasing availability of clean electricity. This applies
especially to developing countries because their industrial pro-
gress will be based on modern technologies, which gererally
use electricity intensively.
WATER CHEMISTRY & ANALYSIS
The purest available form is from water vapour in atmosphere, as
rain, snow or produced by melting of ice. Water on reaching the
ground absorbs different types of gases from atmosphere like nitro-
gen, oxygen and to a lesser extent carbon dioxide. Other gases like
ammonia, oxides of nitrogen and sulphur etc. , also dissolves during
rain depending upon the pollution level of the atmosphere. Apart
from this, the surface water travels to various places and catches or-
ganic matter, suspended solids etc.
SOURCES OF WATER
Following are water sources given below
1. Rivers, lakes and reservoirs (surface drainage water)
2. Underground water (shallow well, deep well, springs)
3. Rain water
4. Sea water
7. 5. Snow melting
RAW WATER
Raw water is natural water found in the environment and has not
been treated, nor have any minerals, ions, particles or living organ-
isms been removed. Raw water includes rainwater, ground water,
water from infiltration wells, and water from bodies like lakes and
rivers. Without treatment, raw water can be used for farming, con-
struction or cleaning purposes, water in this form is considered raw
water.
COMPOSITION
The composition of raw water is naturally variable, but commonly
contains one or more of the following significant contaminants, in
the form of dissolved ions, particles and living organisms :-
Minerals which make water hard. Most common are car-
bonates of calcium and magnesium.
Particles of clay and silt.
Microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, protozoa and their
cysts . Vibrio cholera is an example of an infectious bacteria
found in contaminated water.
Dissolved air molecules, especially oxygen.
Salt, which makes water brackish, having more salinity than
fresh water, but not as much as seawater.
In KTPS DVC, raw water is coming from Telaiya Dam which is based
on the Barkar river. A big intake wall is constructed by KTPS DVC in
the Telaiya Dam for sucking water from Telaiya Dam
8. INTAKE WeLL IN TELAIYA DAM
Raw water pump through intake well into pipe with high pressure
and than raw water reach into reservoir of KTPS. Raw water stored
into the reservoirs, per requirement of plant PT area take raw water
from reservoir. Also some sediment settle down on the basin of the
reservoir.
9. AERATOR
When raw water is pumping into pipe with pressure for passing into
aerator, water molecules splits into tiny particles and trapped gase-
ous molecules removed. Aeration brings water air in close contact in
order to remove dissolved gases such as carbon dioxide and oxidizes
dissolved metals such as iron, hydrogen sulfide and volatile organic
chemicals. Aeration is often the first major process at the treatment
plant. During aeration, constituents are removed or modified before
they can interfere with the treatment processes. When water come
into the chanal then pre-Chlorination is done.
Aeration brings water and air in close contact by exposing
drops or thin sheets of water to the air or by introducing small bub-
bles of air and letting them rise through the water. The scrubbing
process caused by the turbulence of aeration physically removes dis-
solved gases from solution and allows them to escape into the sur-
rounding air.
Aeration also helps remove dissolved metals through oxidation,
the chemical combination of oxygen from the air with certain unde-
sirable metals in the water once oxidized, these chemicals fall out of
solution and become particles in the water and can be removed by
filtration or flotation,
The addition of oxygen is required for the oxidation of bivalent iron (
Fe2+
), manganese ( Mn2+
) and ammonium ( NH4
+
),these substances
are present in dissolved form in groundwater. Due to chemical and
biological oxidation, the substances can removed,
The efficiency of aeration depends on the amount of surface contact
between air and water which is controlled primarily by the size of the
water drop or air bubble.
10. Oxygen is added to water through aeration and can increase the pal-
pability of water by removing the flat taste. The amount of oxygen
the water can hold depends primarily on the temperature of the wa-
ter. ( The colder the water the more oxygen the water can hold).
Water that contains excessive amounts of oxygen can become very
corrosive. Excessive oxygen con also causes problems in the treat-
ment plant i.e. air binding of filters.
Chemicals removed or oxidized by aeration
Constituents commonly affected by aeration are:
Volatile organic chemicals such as benzene (found in gasoline),
or trichloroethylene, dichloroethylene, and perchloroethylene
(used in dry-cleaning or industrial processes)
Ammonia
Chlorine
Carbon dioxide
High solubility of carbon dioxide reduced the pH of water which causes
excessive consumption of lime or other neutralizing agents in coagula-
tion and softening process. The corrosiveness of water is also higher at
lower pH values.
Hydrogen sulfide
It is highly soluble in water, poisoning is one of the lauding causes of ac-
cidents in the field.
Methane
Iron and manganese
removal of iron and manganese from water by aeration
iron and manganese in excess of 0.30mg/L and 0.05 mg/L
should be removed.
11. Aeration provides the dissolved oxygen needed to convert
the iron and manganese from their Fe2+
and Mn2+
forms
to their insoluble oxidized Fe3+
and Mn4+
forms. The pro-
duced precipitates of ferric hydroxide and manganic oxide
are then removed by sedimentation.
Oxidation reaction of iron is
4 Fe(HCO3)2 + 2H2O+ O2 4 Fe(OH)3 + 8CO2
Oxidation reaction of manganese is
2 MnSO4 + 2H2O + O2 2 MnO2 + 2H2SO4
2 Mn(HCO3)2 + O2 2MnO2 + 2H2O + 4CO2
Aerator
12. CLARIFIER
There are mainly three processes occurred in the clarifier, these are
coagulation, flocculation and clarification processes are used when a
water source contains a large amount of fine suspended matter, such
as silt or mud. If this type of water flows into a sand filter will soon
block and stop working. The three processes are used together to
make the water clean enough for filtering.
1. Coagulation is a chemical reaction which occurs when a chemi-
cal or coagulant, is added to the water. The coagulant encour-
ages colloidal material in the water to join together into flocks.
Further suspended matter in the water is then attracted to the
flocks. Rapid mixing of the water and coagulant is important to
ensure thorough and even distribution of the coagulant.
2. Flocculation is a slow gentle mixing of the water to encourage
the flocks to form and grow to a size which will easily settle out.
This mixing is often done in a chamber.
3. Clarification is the final part of the process and allows the large
flocks containing much of the suspended matter to sink to the
bottom of a tank or basin, while the clear water overflows and
is then further treated.
13. Clay or mud has negatively charge colloidal particle, that’s why
we used alum which is positively charge in nature. When oppo-
site charge come into contact to each other, they will be neu-
tral and settle down on the basin of the chamber. When excess
dozing occurs that time lime is needed for the requirement of
control the pH level of the water, because at a certain pH value
coagulation and flocculation occur. When water will be cleared,
then water out from the clarifier and come into the filter house
with the help of chanal.
14. Clarifier
FILTER HOUSE
Clarified water come into the filter house by the chanal, if any parti-
cles of clay or mud not completed the reaction, then they complete
their reaction in the chanal. Because some particles require more
time to complete their reaction and when coagulate they filtered out
from the filter bed.
Removal of solid particle from water by passing it through a fil-
tering medium. Filtration is usually a mechanical process and does
not remove dissolved solids. Gravity filter is closed, rectangle shell of
concrete containers that are open at the top and function at atmos-
pheric pressure of the incoming water.
16. ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER:-
In ACF chamber, activated carbon filled which has lots of pour in
their surface. When water molecules passing through the activated
carbon, impurities are adsorbed on the surface of activated carbon
and only water molecules as well as dissolved minerals passes
through the activated carbon.
ACF remove the following particles present in the filter water, which
come from the filter house are
Free residual chloride (FRC)
Turbidity of 5 NTU (which reduce to 0.5 NTU)
Odour of water
17. WEAK ACID CATION (WAC) & STRONG ACID CATION (SAC)
EXCHANGER
Both WAC & SAC resin exchanges the Na+
, Ca2+
, Mg2+
ect. cation
particles/ions are which are present in the water molecule ex-
changed by the resin H+
ion.
DEGASIFIER
Now water from SAC tank send into the degasifier tank for removal
of CO2 gas, because Na+
, Ca2+
and Mg2+
ions are exchanged by the
resin H+
ion which is present in the WAC and SAC chamber then car-
bonates and bicarbonates ions remaining in the water solution. It is
easily removed only by the air blowing.
Then water solution allowed passing into the weak base anion.
WEAK BASE ANION (WBA) & STRONG BASE ANION (SBA)
EXCHANGER
Degasifier water allowed passing through the WBA resin for remov-
ing the negatively charged Chloride ion ( Cl-
), SO4
2-
, NO3
-
, SiO4
4-
ect.
Anion particles/ions which are present in the water molecule is ex-
changed by the resin OH-
ion.
MIXED BED (MB)
In MB chamber both resins are filled that if any ion passes the posi-
tive and negative resin than in MB chamber, ion will be completely
exchanges and no any ion will be pass and then we get DM water
with parameter of SiO2
-
less than 0.02ppm; conductivity less than
0.1micron-siemon/cm; pH = 6.8 to 7.2 (online).
DEMINERALIZED WATER STORAGE TANK
It is an storage tank in which DM water is stored.
20. BOILER WATER CHEMISTRY
In the boiler water, mainly three types of chemicals are used, be-
cause as the temperature of boiler is increases, pH of water decreas-
es then acidic nature of water increase. Due to degree of dissociation
of H2O, H+
also increases :-
1. Ammonia (NH3):- it maintainance only pH value at low pressure
as well as pH value increase.
2. Trisodium phosphate (Na3PO4):- it maintained pH value at high
pressure and also leakage of the cooling water is trapped. It is
in solid state.
21. Reaction of T.S.P
Na3PO4 + H2O N Na2HPO4 + NaOH
High pressure
Na2HPO4 + H2O NaH2PO4 + NaOH
Trapping of leakage
Na3PO4 + Ca2+
Ca3(PO4)2
Na3PO4 + Mg2+
Mg3(PO4)2
3. Hydrazine (N2H4):- it removes dissolved oxygen which reduces
the probability of corrosion.
By the following reaction:-
N2H4 + H2O + O2 3H2O + N2
Why boiler water treatment is important
Boiler water treatment is important due to the followings reasons:-
a. Water contains dissolved salts, which upon evaporation of
water forms scales on the heat transfer surfaces.
b. Low pH or dissolved oxygen in the water attacks the steel.
This causes lowering the thickness of the steel tubes, leading
to rupture the boiler tubes.
c. Flow assisted corrosion occurs in the carbon steel pipes due to
continuous removal of the protective oxide layer at high pres-
sure.
22. d. Impurities carry over in the steam, causing deposits on tur-
bine blades leading to reduced turbine efficiency and blade
failure. These contaminants can also causes erosion of turbine
blade. Silica at higher operating pressures volatilizes and car-
ries over to the turbine blades.
Chlorination
Chlorination is the process in which biological impurities are re-
moved, such as bacteria, algae, fungi ect. Chlorine is a powerful oxi-
dizing agent and reacts with the nitrogenous part of microbial sub-
stances to form chloramines.
Cl2 + H2O HOCl +H+
+ Cl-
HOCl H+
+ OCl-
NH3 + HOCl NH2Cl + H2O (Monochloramine)
NH2Cl + HOCl NHCl2 + H2O (Dichloramine)
Chlorination is used in the PT-plant and also in cooling
tower. In cooling tower cl2 in used to prevent biofouling
deposition in condenser tube.
Two types of chlorination occurs in pre-treatment
plant:-
23. I. Pre-chlorination:- it occurs, after the aeration in the
chamber and then aerated water go into the clarifi-
er.
II. Post-chlorination:- it occurs in the filter house
sump, then supply in the DM plant or colony pur-
pose.

24. COAL SAMPLING AND ITS PROXIMATE
ANALYSIS
Coal
• Coal is compacted mass of fossilized plant debris mixed
with smaller amounts of inorganic matter and covered
by sedimentary rocks.
• Its chemical properties depend upon :
1.The proportion of different chemical
components present.
2. The nature of changes occur in
components.
3. The nature and quantity of the inorganic
matter present.
TYPES OF COAL
According to the percentage of carbon coal is classified into
four groups
1. Anthracite : 80%-90% Carbon
2. Bituminous : 70%-80% Carbon
3. Lignite : 60%-70% Carbon
4. Pit : 50-60 % Carbon
Power coal is sub-bituminous.
25. SAMPLING OF COAL
General principles of sampling
• All the particles of coal in the lot to be sampled are ac-
cessible to the sampling equipments.
• Each individual particle shall have an equal probability of
being selected and included in the sample.
• The minimum mass of the gross sample should be suffi-
cient to enable particles to be preset in the same pro-
portions as in the lot of coal sample
• The ideal method of sampling is the stopped belt meth-
od which is free from bias.
General procedure for collection of sample
• Decide for which purpose the sample are taken for ex-
ample plant performance, process control or commer-
cial transaction.
• Identify the quality parameters to be determined i.e.
general analysis, total moisture, size analysis, wash abil-
ity etc.
• Define the lot.
General procedure for collection of sample
• Determine or estimate the nominal top size of the coal.
26. • Determine the minimum mass per increment and the

27. PROXIMATE ANALYSIS
In the proximate analysis, following are test done:-
• MOISTURE CONTENT
• ASH CONTENT
• VOLATILE MATTER CONTENT
• FIXED CARBON
Moisture content
• We come across with different moisture terms
• Air dried(inherent moisture) is the moisture that coal
hold on equilibration with air.
• Coal analysis is done on air dried condition
• Surface moisture , the moisture coal losses on exposure
to air.
• Total moisture is the sum of air dried and total moisture
• It is the Total moisture of as fired coal that is used for ef-
ficiency calculation.
• All other parameters are converted to total moisture ba-
sis used for efficiency calculations.
• Free moisture- Surface moisture present on apparently
dry coals, which is dried off when coal is exposed to the
air without heating.
• Inherent moisture- The moisture retained in the process
of coal substance when free moisture has evaporated.
28. • Air-dry moisture- It is a term used to describe that part
of the total moisture retained in the 72-mesh analysis
sample after it has been exposed to the laboratory at-
mosphere and has attained approximately equilibrium
with it.
Moisture content
• Total moisture- It is the sum of free and inherent mois-
ture.
• Typical range of moisture is 0.5 – 20 %
Effect of Moisture content
• Increases heat loss due to evaporation and superheating
of vapor.
• It is an inert constituent of coal and it reduces the calo-
rific value; it costs as much as coal to transport and its
latent of evaporation.
• When the coal is burned, contributes to flue gas losses.
ASH CONTENT
• Ash is the residue remaining after the coal has been in-
cinerated to constant weight under standard conditions.
• Typical range of ash content is 5% - 40%
29. VOLATILE MATTER
• Volatile matters are methane, hydrocarbons, hydrogen
and carbon dioxide present in coal
• Volatile matter is an index of the gaseous fuels present
• A typical range of volatile matter is 20-35 %
EFFECT OF VOLATILE MATTER
• Proportionately increases flame length, and helps in eas-
ier ignition of coal
• Sets minimum limit on the furnace height and volume
• Influences secondary oil support.
Fixed carbon
• It is a calculated figure: Fixed carbon = 100 – (moisture +
volatile matter + ash), all expressed as per cent on the
same basis.
• Its purpose is to measure the coke residue from the vol-
atile matter determination
• Fixed carbon gives a rough idea of the heating value of
coal
Determination of Air Dried Moisture
• Weigh accurately 1 gm of sample in a silica dish (with
cover). Spread it thinly, keep it in electrically heated air
oven and temperature is controlled at 108 +/- 2o
c for 1
30. hour. Then take out the dish and keep it in a desiccators
to cool and weigh, from which calculate the percentage
loss as moisture.

Wt of sample taken
Determination of Ash content
• Weigh 1 gm of sample in a silica dish (with cover).
Spread it uniformly , keep it in an air electrically heated
muffle furnace and temperature is raised to815 +/- 10o
c
in 1 hour. Maintain it for 1 hour. Then take out the dish
and keep it in a desiccators to cool and weigh, from
which calculate the percentage of ash.

Determination of Volatile matter
• Heat an empty, clean V.M crucible with lid at 900 +/-
10o
c for 07 minutes, remove and cool it for 10 mins in a
desiccators, then take empty weight (W1). Take 1 gm of
coal in it. Keep on a silica stand in an electrically heated
furnace maintained at 900 +/- 10o
c for 07 minutes. Take
out ,cool for 1 min on a metal plate ,then in a desicca-
tors for 10 min and weigh (W2).
31. Determination of Volatile matter
A = (W2-W1) / Wt of coal taken
V.M % = (A-Moisture %)*100
• Calorific value is the amount of heat per unit mass that
evolved on complete combustion and is expressed in
kJ/kg.
• This is normally determined at constant volume by burn-
ing a known weight of coal in a bomb calorimeter under
condition of excess oxygen and measuring the amount
of heat evolved.
• CV is two types : GCV and NCV.
GROSS CALORIFIC VALUE
• This is the total heat evolved in kJ/kg.
• All fuels contains hydrogen. This will combine with oxy-
gen and form steam during the process of combustion.
If the products formed are cooled to its initial tempera-
ture, the steam will be condensed. Thus maximum heat
is abstracted. This heat value is called GCV.
NET CALORIFIC VALUE
• NCV is the difference between the GCV and heat ab-
sorbed by water (due to combustion and surface mois-
ture.
32. • NCV= GCV--53 H Kcal/kg where H is the percentage of
hydrogen present including hydrogen of moisture and
water of constitution of the mineral matter.
USEFUL HEAT VALUE
• Power coals (non coking coal ) in India are presently
graded by UHV.
• UHV (Kcal/kg)= 8900-138(A+M) for V.M >19% , A and M
at 60% RH & 40O
C.
GRINDABIITY INDEX
Grind ability index of coal shows how easily the coal
can be pulverized.
