Nonpremixed and Partially Premixed Natural Gas Combustor

Stimulation

Sakshi Jain* Department of Chemical Engineering, Madhav Institute of Technology and Science, Madhya Pradesh, India

Abstract This paper highlights on the expansive vortex recreation approach for non-premixed and

somewhat premixed combustor. On account of vast whirlpool reenactment, basically two

scalars are thought about that is blend part and the other one is the advancement variable

blend division, which tracks the blending of fuel and the oxidizer, and an advancement

variable which tracks the worldwide degree of response of the nearby blend. On account of

non-premixed burning, there are two ports accommodated fuel and oxidizer and the blending

of fuel with oxidizer happens inside the combustor and because of diss emination this

blending happens and two scalars considered on account of non-premixed are the blend

division and likelihood thickness capacity (PDF).

Keywords: LES, progress variable, mixture fraction

INTRODUCTION As a large portion of the combustors are

exceptionally turbulent and for tackling

this turbulence approach extensive vortex

recreation is connected as on account of

non-premixed ignition. Chiefly two scalars

are consolidated; initial one is the blend

portion and another is likelihood thickness

capacity (PDF).

While on account of halfway premixed

combustor progress variable c is presented.

In non-premixed combustor blend division

is accounted as fuel rich combustibility

restrain and computed on the premise of

response reactant and item mole part,

while PDF decides the variety of mean

temperature as for blend portion. In the

interim on account of incompletely

premixed, it fuses the advancement

variable c which decides the fire front

unburnt and blazed state of the response.

In front of the fire, fuel and oxidizer are

blended however unburnt, yet behind the

fire c=1 blend is smoldered. Standard

ignition models depend on completely

premixed and completely non-premixed

ideas are not reasonable for the

demonstrating of in part premixed

circumstances.[1]

PROBLEM FORMULATION

This is the issue detailing for in part

premixed ignition. This is an in part

premixed burning case, which has inflows

that reflect both premixed (fuel inflow)

and non-premixed (fuel and air blending)

conditions.

The fuel (CH4) and air blend has an

identicalness proportion of 0.8,

characterized in the Physics Setup. It is

infused at T=150 K with a hub speed of

40 m/s and whirl speed (Θ bearing) of

60 m/s. The air inflow is at T=250 K and

is infused at 20 m/s pivotally, with no

twirl. This case is axisymmetric thus the

physical ignition chamber is thought to be

Production of Nitric Acid and its Stimulation

Amaan A. Ruhul

Chemical Engineering Department, BUET, Dhaka, Bangladesh

Abstract Nitric acid has been known and regarded for quite a while. Most nitric acid is utilized as a

part of making ammonium nitrate. Its immediate applications incorporate photoengraving,

metal pickling and passivation and the separating substance of gold and silver. Here the

Oswald procedure is utilized to create nitric acid. This procedure is mimicked utilizing

HYSYS recreation programming. The reason for this reproduction was to watch the

thermodynamic properties of the procedure. We likewise watched the progressions which

will happen if the properties of various unit were changed. By performing reenactment

53.2% fluid HNO3 is gotten for 152520 lbm/hour air and 500 2bm/hour smelling salts

information stream.

Keywords: composite materials, nitric acid, Oswald

INTRODUCTION

The basic view of “corrosive” proposes

stringency, destructiveness and something

fit for disintegration of another substance.

In any case, not all acids are, or can be

seen to be along these lines, with the

exception of that nitric corrosive may be

thought to be a to a great degree damaging

compound in that it was the premise of

explosives furthermore composts – the

practically polar inverse of an unstable as

it helps plants to develop.

Be that as it may, this adaptable corrosive

(there is numerous nitric acid uses) has

found to equip for use in numerous

mechanical and substance forms. As a

basic piece of explosives make that, albeit

known for quite a while, got from the

absence of regular nitrates to fuel the

German war exertion preceding the First

World War. Nitric corrosive can be

utilized to produce segments of

trinitrotoluene (TNT).

As a farming manure where it advances

vivacious development in plants, there is,

in any case, a shocking symptom in that

nitrates are exceptionally solvent in water

and when connected to well-depleting soil,

they filter into the watercourse and in the

long run reach streams and waterways.

Once in the water it animates the

development of green growth that, thusly,

deoxygenates the water to smother

development in other plant structures and

creature life. It can be utilized as an

oxidizing operator as a part of the creation

of some strong powers for rocket impetus;

segment of rocket fuel going about as an

oxidizer.

As a maturing agent in woodwork where it

can be utilized as a part of extremely

weaken frames (normally underneath

20%) to change the presence of a few

woods and to create a shading like that of

oiled or waxed surfaces old.[1–5]

Abstract

In the present work thermo-economic analysis of a cogeneration cycle is carried out so that any power generation industry can choose best power generation system out of the choices available with organisation. Mathematical modeling for the cost evaluation of each component is developed and results are obtained with computational programming tool EES (Engineering Equation Solver). Form results it is being found that with change in combustion chamber outlet temperature or turbine inlet temperature from 1373 K to 1723 K the purchase equipment cost for combustion chamber and gas turbine is multiplied by 85.36 and 2041.85 times respectively. Gas turbine section and air compressor section are attached with solid shaft. The rotational speed of the both sections are same. Factors responsible for increasing the cost of gas turbine section are similar to air compressor section. For gas turbine section it is evaluated that with increase in air mass flow rate from 85 kg/s to 115 kg/s, the cost is increased by 43.72%. Therefore, with the help of the methodology present in the present work it is possible for the power plant managers to decide about the suitability in power generation capability development in association with renewable and non-renewable energy conversion systems. Keywords: cogeneration cycle, cost, economy, thermodynamic

INTRODUCTION Gas turbine system is the energy conversion system utilized for base load, intermediate load and peak load power generation either alone or in combined cycle mode.

[1] In cogeneration mode of

operation heat and power is generated with high power gas turbines and lighter gas turbine are used for mechanical drives used in gas or oil transportation. In modern gas turbine market power range of gas turbines is very wide as their applications are also diverse and numerous.

[2]

In recent years, the number of gas turbines for power generation has increased due to their high efficiency, reliability of operation, lesser maintenance and lower installation time. The decision on the selection of different types of the power

plant may be accomplished with some suitable decision making tools.

[3–5]

In the present work a review on the exergoeconomic analysis is presented with the applications in renewable energy.

[6]

Exergy of a system is the maximum amount of useful work which may be extracted out from the system when heat reservoir is the surrounding.

[6–8] Gas

turbines are available in different sizes and micro gas turbines with power output less than 100 kW are also now available for distributed power generation and cogeneration. Most stationary gas turbines are fuelled with natural gas (CNG) or other similar fuels as the ash content is lower in gaseous fuels and frequent maintenance is avoided. Gas turbines in aircrafts are fuelled with kerosene which is a light

Graph Theory and Matrix Method for Development and Design

of Combustion Engine

Nikhil Dev* Mechanical Engineering Department, YMCA University of Science and Technology, Faridabad, Haryana, India

Abstract

The idea upon which any methodology development is pillared leads to real time decisions if

simulation and assessment is as per the standard codes set by standard organizations. More

near is the system with standard system more it is appropriate for operation. In the present

work system under consideration is internal combustion engine. Fuel cost is one of the most

important parameter in life cycle analysis of the internal combustion engines. Therefore,

efficiency analysis becomes the prior most parameter to be analyzed. In the present work a

methodology is developed for efficiency analysis of an internal combustion engine.

Parameters and factors affecting engine performance are identified and different sections are

developed as per the parameters. Value of permanent function for present case is 5992 and

for the real time case is 5638. Value of relative quality index comes out to be 37.51 %. From

graph theory and matrix method it came out that with decrease in compression ratio,

efficiency is decreased from 39.51% to 37.51%.

Keywords: efficiency, emission, IC engine, index

INTRODUCTION

The internal combustion engine is a

mechanical system in which the burning of

fuel occurs in confined space known as

combustion chamber. Combustion

chamber is an integral part of this system.

As the burning of fuel takes place

therefore, a lot of thermal energy is

released.

This thermal energy increases temperature

and pressure of the system. Combustion is

the process in which chemical bond energy

of the fuel is converted into thermal energy

by chemical reaction in between fuel and

oxidizer.

Identification of fuel or oxidizer is

dependent upon the electronegativity.

Electronegativity is the tendency of

an atom to attract electrons towards

itself.[1]

An accurate scale of measuring

electronegativity proposed by was Linus

Pauling in 1932 which depends on bond

energies and came to be known as Pauling

Scale (relative scale running from around

0.7 to 3.98). Fluorine is most

electronegative element with

electronegativity 3.98 afterward comes

oxygen with 3.44.

A system in which chemical energy gets

converted into thermal energy can be

called as Combustion system. The

combustion need to be analyzed carefully

so that the maximum efficiency and the

smooth functioning of an IC engine are

obtained. The term combustion is of

utmost importance; usually the combustion

Methodology Development for Lubricant Selection for Steam Turbine Bearing Using GTA

Nikhil Dev*

Mechanical Engineering Department, YMCA University of Science and Technology, Faridabad, Haryana, India

Abstract

Lubrication of two rubbing surfaces is required so that wear and tear is minimum. There are a lot of additives used to improve the lubricity of the lubricants. At present steam turbines are used to generate electricity from coal. A lot of lubricant is supplied to turbine bearings so that friction is minimized and also the wear and tear also. A lot of manufacturers are producing lubricants with different properties. In the present work properties are identified and a suitability index in correspondence to these properties for different lubricants is evaluated. All the nine properties of lubricants affected suitability index are identified and their interdependence is also established. Performance evaluation of a lubricant necessitates to consider the inheritance of lubricant characteristics and the solution is near to real time situation when their interdependence is also considered in the modeling. For a solution near to real time situation inheritance of characteristics along with interdependence is incorporated with the help of Graph Theoretic Approach (GTA), as explained in manuscript. GTA results into an index representing the suitability of nano-particle added lubricant. From the results it is found that highest index value is 1. Lowest index values for different characteristics are found to be 0.3478, 0.3091, 0.2845, 0.3568, 0.3295, 0.3865, 0.3547, 0.3285 and 0.3945. The proposed methodology is explained with the help of an example. Keywords: lubricant, factor, digraph, matrix, permanent function, methodology INTRODUCTION The branch of technology or engineering dealing with the rubbing surfaces is tribology. Lubrication of components decreases wear and tear of components, increases heat transfer, reduces friction. All it is achieved with the help of thin film of fluid with a viscosity suitable for particular application. As the domain of applications are increasing so is the properties domain are also expanding. At present nano-particles are doped to achieve the desired properties. Nano-technology is the branch of science expanding at a very fast rate. In this science the controlling of molecules is better and desired properties are achieved to higher depth. Molecular structure of nano particles and their characteristic to influence the properties of material to which these are added is exploited to improve the lubricating

characteristic of turbine bearing lubricants. At present a lot of research is going on in decision making in power generation industry and other organisation. Design and development of new lubricants is one of them. A lot of different studies has been performed in decision making also. Dev et al [1] developed a computational methodology for the assessment of dual pressure non-reheat combined-cycle power plant with change in drum pressure. A GTA based methodology was also proposed by Dev et al [2] for the evaluation of combined cycle power plant. Thermodynamic analysis of a combined heat and power system was carried out to study the effect of different parameters on
