View Factor Orientation (or View factor or shape factor) plays an important role in radiation heat transfer. View factor is defined as, "fraction of radiation leaving surface 'i' and strike 'j' ". Summation Rule (View Factor) If there is are similar surfaces 'i' and 'j' , then: Blackbody Radiation Exchange Radiation Exchange between Opaque, Diffuse, Gray surfaces in an Enclosure 1. Opaque 2. Surfaces 3. Two surface enclosure Radiation Shield It is used to protect surfaces from radiation act like a reflective surface.

Cogeneration
It is defined as, "Sequential generation of two different forms of energy from a single source (generally mechanical and thermal energy, Combined Heat & Power Generation)".
For E.g.: Warm pool water with Lower Costs and Lower Emissions of Conventional powerplant.
Technical Options for Cogeneration
Cogeneration is not used by large industries.
For constant temperature heating or drying, steam is very good (since isothermal conditions can be maintained allowing saturated steam to condensed (at that temp) utilizing latent heat.
Reduction of Carbon Emissions
1. Reciprocating Engine Cogeneration Systems
It is defined as, "Utilizing one source (diesel/gas engine) to produce electricity energy converted into heat water (process heat)".
Steps:
Burning of Fuel in engine ↦ Produce heat ↦ Produce electricity ↦ engine is cooled by coolants ↦ which transfer heat contents into circulating water ↦ which is further heated in boiler.
2. Gas Turbine Cogeneration Systems
Steps:
Fuel + air ↦ Compressed + Burn in compressor ↦ hit to turbine blades (expands) ↦ which make shaft to rotate, which produce electricity ↦ remaining heat is used to heat water.
3. Steam Turbine Cogeneration Systems
It is similar to Rankine Cycle but Condenser is replaced by Process Heater (which gives process heat as per our requirement).
Additional Components ↦ process heater + pump.
Continuously bled steam in process heater.
Steps:
Fuel burn in boiler ↦ Steam produced ↦ hit turbine blades ↦ Electricity generated ↦ Steam enter process heater ↦ Exchange heat with cold chemicals.
There are two types of Steam Turbine, namely:
Back Pressure Turbine
Pass Out Turbine
Back Pressure Turbine
It is defined as, "When the exhaust steam from cogeneration of the turbine is utilized for process work".
We can modify initial steam pressure or exhaust pressure to get required steam of desired pressure and temp.
Process heater is running Above or At atmospheric pressure.
Ideally, we want 100% of heat extracted to transform steam into liquid .
Pump cannot work with 2 phase.
Pass Out Turbine
It is defined as, "The back pressure turbine through which a certain quantity of steam is continuously exhausted for the process heating at desired pressure and temp".
Process Heater ↦ has Higher Power-to-Heat ratio.
Feasibility Criteria ↦ Cost of generation, No utility present.

Center of Gravity: It is defined as; The resultant weight of a system which passes through a single point is called Center of Gravity ( G ). Center of Mass: It is defined as; The point at which the whole mass of the system acts. The concept of center of mass is cleared from the video given below: Centroid of a Volume: Objects having three dimensions have the centroid which is its geometric centre. Centroid of an Area: Objects having two dimensions have the centroid which is its geometric centre. Centroid of a Line: Objects having linear dimensions have the centroid which is its geometric centre. Composite Bodies: A composite body consists of a series of connected simpler shaped Bodies which may be rectangular, triangular, semicircular, etc. References: www.youtube.com www.wikipedia.com http://web.aeromech.usyd.edu.au/statics/doc/friction/Friction1.htm From Book Engineering Mechanics sta...
Flywheel It is defined as, " a machine element which serves as reservoir which stores energy during the period when energy supply is more than the requirement and releases it when energy is less than requirement " . Used in IC, reciprocating (compressors or pumps) engines, presses, etc. Excess energy is stored in flywheel and release to crankshaft during other strokes in which no energy is developed. If space is small ↠ use small diameter and solid flywheel . If space is not limited (like for presses, crushing machine, hammering machine) ↠ use large diameter and hollow flywheel . Purpose of flywheel is to: reduce amplitude of speed fluctuation (sinusoidal) for constant power output. reduce maximum torque required. energy stored and release when needed during cycle. Parts of flywheel are Rim ↠ outer portion of flywheel (which is like a wheel). Hub ↠ center part which is installed on shaft. Arms or Needle ↠ rods joining rim to ...
TAPING CORRECTIONS There are two types of corrections depending upon the type of errors in tape due to the different conditions. 1. Systematic Errors : Slope Erroneous tape length Temperature Tension Sag 2. Random Errors : Slope Alignment Marking & Plumbing Temperature Tension & Sag 1. Temperature Correction It is necessary to apply this correction, since the length of a tape is increased as its temperature is raised, and consequently, the measured distance is too small. It is given by the formula, C t = 𝛼 (T m – T o )L Where, C t = the correction for temperature, in m. 𝛼 = the coefficient of thermal expansion. T m = the mean temperature during measurement. T o = the tempe...
