Development program for heat balance analysis fuel to steam efficiency boiler and data wireless transfer
This research aim to improve a combustion system of boiler within increase combustion efficiency and use all out of the energy. The large boilers were used in the industrial factories which consume a lot of energy for production. By oil and gas fuel will be increasing costs everyday cause many factories interested in energy saving with any method technical engineering specifically for production costs and environment effect decreasing. This researching was installed and program was invented in the industrial factory. This industry factory consumed cogeneration energy for fabric dying. The efficiency before installing the software is measured about 65.85 - 71.98% which heat in exhaust gas about 20% of overall energy is filled in the system. After installing heat loss in the system has been fallen until remain about 5 - 12% and efficiency of heat in system has been reached a peak of 80 - 85%.
Low Rate Wireless Sensor Network Data Logger with Multi-core Microcontroller
This paper presents the development of a data logger which collects interesting data via low rate wireless sensor network not expensive low power consumed sensor node. The system is wireless and more flexible to expand and substitute sensor nodes by add proper configuration wireless sensor node. System controller uses embedded small multi-code microcontroller Propeller Chip by Parrallax Inc. This chip contains eight processors (Cogs) inside. All eight processors can perform tasks simultaneously or with coordination from other processors. It comprised of Xbee chip to perform wireless sensor network that work with 802.15.4 protocol. Data is collected and stored in Micro SD memory small size and not expensive. It transfer data from data logger to master computer system via wireless network. The experimental results show that we can use single microcontroller based on data logger system small size and flexible. To expand this system with Propeller chip it can monitor data collected by system directly from this chip by generating computer screen monitor signal.
Effect of grinding on chemical and physical properties of rice husk ash
The effect of grinding on the chemical and physical properties of rice husk ash was studied. Four rice husk ashes with different finenesses i.e. coarse original rice husk ash (RHA0) RHA1 RHA2 and RHA3 were used for the study. Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) was partially replaced with rice husk ash at 20% by weight of binder. The water to binder ratio (W/B) of the mortar was maintained at 110%±5% with flow table test. Specific gravity fineness chemical properties compressive strength and porosity test of mortars were determined. The differences in chemical composition of the rice husk ashes with different finenesses from the same batch are small. The use of RHA3 produces the mortars with good strength and low porosity. The strength of the mortar improves with partial replacement of RHA3 in comparison with normal coarse rice husk ash. The use of RHA3 results in a strong and dense mortar which is due to the better dispersion and filling effect as well as an increase in the pozzolanic reaction.
An Experimental investigation of the carbonation of blended portland cement palm oil fuel ash mortar in an indoor environment
In this research palm oil fuel ash was utilized as a pozzolanic material in blended Portland cement mortar. The mortar was tested on the normal compressive strength and the negative effect of carbonation in indoor environment using the accelerated carbonation test of 5% CO2 in 50% relative humidity. Three palm oil fuel ash fractions of different fineness viz. coarse original palm oil fuel ash (CPOA) medium palm oil fuel ash (MPOA) and fine palm oil fuel ash (FPOA) were used for the study. Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) was partially replaced by these palm oil fuel ashes at the dosages of 20% and 40% by weight of binder. The results showed that the incorporation of the ashes affected the strength and the carbonation depths of mortars. The strengths of mortar slightly decreased with the increases in the dosage of the ash. The fineness of ash on the other hand improved the strength and the carbonation of the mortars. The mortars containing FPOA exhibited high strength and relatively low carbonation in comparison to those using coarser MPOA and CPOA. The use of FPOA resulted in a strong and dense mortar owing to the increased packing effect and pozzolanic reaction. It was therefore demonstrated that the FPOA could be used as a pozzolanic material to replace part of Portland cement for use in the indoor environment.
Pore structure changes of blended cement pastes containing fly ash, rice husk ash, and palm oil fuel ash caused by carbonation
In this paper the effects of carbonation on pore structure of blended pozzolan cement pastes were investigated. Ordinary Portland cement _OPC_ was partially replaced with ground palm oil fuel ash _POA_ ground rice husk ash _RHA_ and classified fine fly ash _FA_. The strength total porosity specific surface area and pore size distribution were tested. In general incorporation of pozzolans increased the total porosity of blended cement pastes in comparison to that of OPC paste. Carbonation of pastes under 5% CO2 and 50% relative humidity _RH_ for 28 days resulted in filling of the pore voids and possible attack on calcium silicate hydrate _CSH_ depending on the type of pozzolan used. After carbonation total porosity decreased and specific surface areas of the blended pozzolan cement pastes reduced indicating the infilling of voids. Pore size distributions of POA and RHA pastes were different to those of FA pastes. Large pores of the POA and RHA pastes were increased indicating coarsening of pores owing to possible attack on CSH. It is possible that POA and RHA were highly reactive and hence their uses resulting in severe carbonation compared to use of FA.
