Instruments and Equipment used in the Modern Cooling Water System

admin — Wed, 02 Mar 2022 16:33:03 +0000

Abstract: Cooling water systems in the industries have remained a neglected area for long period of time. Supply of fresh water to chemical process industries (CPI) is restricted. Environmental regulations regarding effluent discharge have become stricter and the market competition has resulted in continuous need for additional cooling capacity for new projects. As a consequence of these changes, cooling water systems have become an important part of CPI.

Simultaneously many technological developments have taken place in this area especially in chemical feeding and dosing systems, monitoring tools, equipment and automation. The state-of-the-art treatment programs demand use of costlier specialty additive for optimal performance. These programs demand new monitoring methods and use of diagnostic equipment like chlorinator, computerized dosing system bio-fouling monitors, non-invasive flowmeter and halogen analyses. Justification of higher operating cost and higher capital expenditure necessitate a careful study of the alternate methods of measurement and monitoring techniques.

AUTOMATED SMART SERICULTURE FOR ENHANCEMENT OF SILK PRODUCTION

admin — Tue, 08 Mar 2022 05:20:13 +0000

Abstract: Sericulture principally refers to the production of silk by the parenting of the silk producing organisms. In the present world when everything can be controlled and operated automatically, there are still a countable important sector in our country where robotization has not been borrowed or not been put to a full-fledged use. One similar field is the sericulture. The reports from the Central Silk Board suggests that India ranks second in the world for total silk production, but it’s only 15, as 85 of it’s from China. This low quantum of silk production is due to the lack of robotization in sericulture process. This administered system involves the eradication of the difficulties faced by the agriculturists in manual sericulture farm.

The system involves the combined operation of the Microcontroller and GSM module providing automated control features to the farm and the user. The temperature automatically, the temperature, and humidity are recorded by the sensor to which fan with cooler effect and heater is connected when more than the required temperature is noted, then the fan will automatically on and makes the temperature suitable for the survival of silkworms. In the winter season’s the temperature fall below the required temperature, the heater gets on and provides proper temperature. After obtaining the proper temperature, the fan and heater get off automatically. To monitor the temperature from a remote location, we use two thermostats. One is inside of the silkworm shed and another is outside of the shed. So, that is how the temperature was increasing and decreasing in a total day. For every 15 min, the reading of thermostats was automatically sent to the remote location for storing and monitoring of temperature in the day, week, month, year. By using this procedure, the problem of continuous monitoring can be reduced manually, analysis of temperature was estimated.

Smart Irrigation System Using IoT

admin — Thu, 10 Mar 2022 11:42:46 +0000

Abstract: A smart automated irrigation system for supplying water for farming is presented in this work, as an attempt to augment traditional irrigation management approaches. The concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) has been implemented to design an appropriate low-cost solution to continuously monitor the moisture level in the soil via a mobile application. In this system, soil moisture detectors mounted near the root of the plants are employed to make measurements which the system then conveys to the base station. It notifies the user as the water level goes below the set point. As it detects low moisture, a message is passed between Node MCU and Blynk App and it automatically starts the motor to irrigate the farmlands. A low cost and economically viable irrigation solution for sustainable farming is hence illustrated in this paper, which is competitive in terms of its cost and the available benefits, in comparison to the similar solutions commercially available in the market at present.

UPQC With VSI: A Pertinent Tool to Improve Power Quality Using Shunt Compensator

admin — Fri, 11 Mar 2022 09:07:24 +0000

Abstract: In the distribution system, the load end consists of different kinds of linear and non-linear loads. Use of these non-linear loads invites various power quality issues viz. voltage sag, swell, flicker, imbalance, harmonics, transient, etc. These issues can be mitigated with the help of Passive Filters, Active Filters, Static VAR Compensators (SVC), Flexible A.C Transmission System (FACTS) device, Custom Power Device (CPD), and other devices. Unified Power Quality Conditioner is a CPD used to alleviate power quality issues in the distribution network. UPQC can be divided into series compensator and shunt compensator. Series compensator takes care of voltage related problems (voltage sag, swell, and harmonics in voltage) while shunt compensator takes care of current related problems (current harmonics, neutral current, etc.). The work presented in this paper has been dedicated to improve power quality by alleviating various power quality issues in the distribution network using UPQC WITH VSI USING SHUNT COMPENSATOR. Here, various power quality issues, cause of their production, impact on various power system equipment, and distinct kind of devices used to mitigate them are discussed. The main focus of this work is on UPQC WITH VSI USING SHUNT COMPENSATOR.

admin — Fri, 11 Mar 2022 15:39:42 +0000

Abstract: A comprehensive study of eight wood waste samples as feedstock for thermochemical conversion such as gasification was done. Three softwood (Antiaris africana, (SW1); Terminalia superba, (SW2); Cieba pentandra,(SW3)), four hardwood (Pterygota macrocarpa (HW1); Celtis africana (HW2); Celtis zenkeri (HW3); Cordia millenii (HW4)) and mixed sawdust(MW) was used for the study. The samples were characterised for proximate composition (volatile matter, fixed carbon and ash content) and bulk density. Ultimate (C, H, N and O) analysis was done using CHN analyzer. Percentages of chemical structural components were evaluated. Crystallinity was examined using X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The functional groups were determined using Raman Spectroscopy. Thermal decomposition behaviour of these samples was studied using thermo gravimetric analyzer TGA (DTG). Results showed that wood species are different even within the same class of lignin. Relatively high volatile matter, carbon content, higher heating value (HHV) and, low ash and nitrogen content was observed in most of the samples. However, sample SW2 and HW1 has high ash content, and oxygen content with low carbon content and ultimately low HHV. Hard wood had significantly higher cellulose and hemicelluloses unlike the softwood which has more lignin content.
