Glass-ceramics are mostly produced in two steps: First, a glass is formed by a glass-manufacturing process. The glass is cooled down and is then reheated in a second step. In this heat treatment the glass partly crystallizes. In most cases nucleation agents are added to the base composition of the glass-ceramic. These nucleation agents aid and control the crystallization process.

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.

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.

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.

Introduction
“Glass is an amorphous, hard, brittle, transparent or translucent, super-cooled
liquid, obtained by fusing a mixture of a number of metallic silicates, most
commonly Na, K, Ca and Pb”. It possesses no sharp melting point, crystalling
structure and definite formula.
• Glass that is mainly SILICA (SiO2) and sometime other classes can be
generated by adding little bit concentration of Al2O3 . B2O3 . P2O5 , etc
“Aninorganicproductoffusionwhichhas

Glass was first made in the ancient world, but its
earliest origins are obscure. Egyptian glass beads
are the earliest glass objects known, dating from
about 2500 BC

work
• The “batch” is melted in the tank using
producer gas and air
• It follows “regenerative system of heat
economy”
• Air and fuel is passes through A & B
• The burnt gases are deflected by the roof
and “batch” gets melted
• Hot waste gas escapes through firebricks
C & D
• The direction of the fuel gas & air is reversed through C & D , which absorbs the
heat of the waste gas and burns
• The waste gas now escapes through A & B
Figure showing tank furnace
10. 10
Melting : Chemical reactions
• Cullet melts at relatively low temperature and assists in melting of rest of
the charge
• During the melting process following reactions occur
• The molten mass is heated till its free from air bubbles
• For colored gases desired pigment is added
• The molten mass is then cooled at about 800oC at later point of time
CaCO3 + SiO2 CaSiO3 + CO2
Na2CO3 + SiO2 Na2SiO3 + CO2
11. 11
Forming & Shaping, Annealing and Finishing
• Molten gas is converted to desired shape by blowing or moulding or pressing
between rollers - “Forming and Shaping”
• Articles are then cooled gradually at room temperature. - “Annealing”
The longer the annealing period better the quality of glass
• After annealing, the articles are subjected to cleaning, polishing, cutting, sand
blasting etc., - “Finishing”

21. Glass Transition
21
The glass transition is the gradual and reversible transition in amorphous materials
(or in amorphous regions within semi-crystalline materials) from a hard and
relatively brittle "glassy" state into a viscous or rubbery state as the temperature is
increased.
• An amorphous solid that exhibits a
glass transition
• The reverse transition, achieved by
supercooling a viscous liquid into the
glass state, is called vitrification.
• The liquid-glass transition is not a
transition between states of
thermodynamic equilibrium. It is widely
believed that the true equilibrium state
is always crystalline.
• The glass transition is primarily a
dynamic phenomenon.
Figure : Glass Transition Temperature
22. Glass Transition Temperature
22
The temperature above which if material is heated it become soft and flexible
(Crystalline) and below it, its become hard and brittlle (amorphous).
• It is represented by Tg.
• The glass-transition temperature Tg of a material characterizes the range of
temperatures over which this glass transition occurs. It is always lower than the
melting temperature, Tm, of the crystalline state of the material.
• The transition is not considered a phase transition rather it is crystallinity
transition
23. Factors Affecting the Glass Transition Temperature
23
1) Chain Stiffness
In the glass, flexibility reduces and raise the value of Tg.
2) Inter-molecular forces
Stronger intermolecular forces lead to a higher Tg.
3) Cross-linking between the molecules.
The presence of cross-links between atoms restricts rotational motion and
raises Tg.
