Pendulum Dampers for Tall RC Chimney Subjected To WindIJERA Editor
Chimneys are a part of industrial growth in any country. Most current chimney design standards require analysis of dynamic analysis of chimney for earthquake and wind induced loads. Because of variation in dimensions of chimney along its height structural analysis such as wind oscillations have become more critical. If ductility is an important consideration in earthquake resistant design, control of deflection become critical in wind induced vibrations. Pendulum dampers are of the devices to control the deflection. In the present work pendulum dampers of different natural frequencies have been tried. The one which has the largest equivalent logarithmic decrement is found to reduce the response significantly. The response is compared with that of chimney with a tip mass. The paper discusses the dynamic analysis of 150m high RCC chimney subjected to wind. Analysis has been carried out for fixed base case.
Design of Naca63215 Airfoil for a Wind TurbineIOSR Journals
The ultimate objective of the work is to increase the reliability of wind turbine blades through the development of the airfoil structure and also to reduce the noise produced during the running period of the wind turbine blades. The blade plays a pivotal role, because it is the most important part of the energy absorption system. Consequently, the blade has to be designed carefully to enable to absorb energy with its greatest efficiency. In this work, Pro/E, Hypermesh software has been used to design blades effectively. NACA 63-215 airfoil profile is considered for analysis of wind turbine blade. The wind turbine blade is modeled and several sections are created from root to tip with the variation from the standard design for improving the efficiency. For the further improvement required in the efficiency of the wind turbine the winglet is to be included at the tip of the blade which would help in increasing the efficiency and reducing the noise produced from the blades in working condition. The existing turbine blade and the modified blade with the winglet are compared for their results.
IDENTIFICATION OF TOWER AND BOOM-WAKES USING COLLOCATED ANEMOMETERS AND LIDAR...IAEME Publication
In this study the extent of tower and boom wake distortions were evaluated using collocated anemometers and Lidar measurement based on wind data from Amperbo, Namibia, where an existing latticed equilateral triangular communication tower was instrumented according to IEC specifications. Wind data analysed was 10-minute averaged, captured over a period of nine months (May to Sept. 2014). To enable further and independent investigation of flow modification within the vicinity of the tower, ZephIR 300 wind Lidar was installed at about 5.4 m from the foot of the tower. Wind data from pairs of collocated cup anemometers located at 16.88 m and 64.97 m above ground level (AGL) were analysed and compared to identify the range of directions that were affected by the waking of the entire tower physical structure. Mean speed and turbulence intensity (TI) were used in quantify the wake impact on the wind data observed using cup anemometers, showing a speed deficit of up to 49 % and order of magnitude increase in the TI for all the regions within the wake of the tower. Comparison with ZephIR 300 observed mean speed resulted in a speed deficit of up to 50 % which further confirmed the extent of tower distortion and wake boundaries. The Lidar also confirmed the speed-up effects and the asymmetric nature of the wake boundaries associated with the mounting booms. The results show that TI analysis has the potential to more accurately define the wake boundaries and wake distortion than traditional speed ratios analysis. The study shows that the severity of tower wake effects varies seasonally with winter months (June and July) recording the highest speed deficit when compared to December, a summer month. Root Mean Square Errors (RMSE) were further computed to ascertain the similarity degree of resource parameters from the two measurement techniques, resulting in peak values of RMSE in the wake affected regions. The TI approach consistently predicted larger wake boundaries than speed ratio analysis. Wind direction analysis clearly showed the 180° ambiguity of ZephIR 300 and the extent of deflection of the winds around the tower structure. Preliminary evaluation of wake impact on the resource parameter shows that removing the sectors affected by tower wakes leads to an increase in mean wind speed and a decrease in TI values.

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.

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.
