CARBON ARC WELDING

CARBON ARC welding-: Carbon arc welding is the earliest arc welding process. In this process the electrod is made of ideal carbon or graphide. In contrast to graphide electrod , carbon electrod are soft and therefore they can't taken up very high current capasities. The arc with the carbon electrod is more controllable. Lower current act's to the higher electrod life.

                         

  

                       Through the carbon or graphide electrod arc not expected To made as the consumeabl electrod. They do get it to a rate for temperature because of the heat from the arc which causes a slow disintegration of the electrod take as also it's oxidation this means that electrod is slowly consumed.  In the carbon arc welding the required filler material is supply through a sale are filler rod. The arc can be obtain between the carbon electrod and workpiece or between the carbon electrod.

COOLING TOWER

COOLING tower-: In power plants, cooling towers are employed for cooling the warm water from the condensers so that the same water after cooling can be reused for condensing the steam. 

                             In other words, a cooling tower is a specialized heat exchanger in which air and water are brought into direct contact with each other in order to reduce the water's temperature . As this occurs, a small volume of water is evaporated,  reducing the temperature of the water being circulated through the tower.

              The use of cooling towers becomes essential where plenty of cooling water is not available from river or sea for direct cooling. A cooling tower can be considered as an enclosed device used for the evaporation cooling of water by contact with the air. In cooling towers,  the cooling takes place partly by an exchange of latent heat resulting from the evaporation of some of the circulating water, and partly by the transfer of sensible heat. Although the cooling effect can be produced by cooling pond , spray pond, atmospheric tower , spray filled tower. 

The types of cooling towers used in thermal power stations are : 

( 1 ) Atmospheric ( Natural draught chimney ) type cooling tower .                                            ( 2 )Mechanical draught type cooling towers. 

The cooling towers can also be classified as wet cooling towers or dry cooling towers.

Wet cooling tower -: In wet cooling towers the cooling takes place by evaporation but huge quantity of water goes along with hot air into atmosphere. 

Dry cooling tower -: In this type of cooling towers,  the cooling takes place by surface heat exchange, there being no drift losses ; of course, the initial cost is very high.

Wet bulb and Dew point temperature

Wet bulb temperature -: The wet bulb temperature is the temperature read by a thermometer covered in water-soaked cloth ( wet bulb thermometer ) over which air is passed. If the bulb of an ordinary thermometer is surrounded by a wick wetter with water and air passed around it ; water at surface will being to evaporate. The vaporisation takes heat -leatent heat of vaporisation and the wick is cooled . The temperature finally reached when cooling stops is known as wet bulb temperature. At wet bulb temperature,  the heat from the air to water surface equals the haet taken from the surface to vaporise water.

                  At 100 % relative humidity , the wet bulb temperature is equal to the air temperature ( dry bulb temperature) and it is lower at lower humidity. A wet bulb temperature indicates a temperature close to the true ( thermodynamic ) temperature. The wet bulb temperature is the lowest temperature that can be reached under current ambient conditions by the evaporation of water only.

Dew point temperature -: The dew-point temperature is the temperature at which moisture will condense out of the air for a given specific humidity and pressure, as air moisture temperature is reduced. It is important to note that dew point temperature remains constant as long as there us no change in moisture. 

                   The dew-point temperature is always lower than Or equal to the air temperature. If the air temperature cools to the dew point, or if the dew point raises to equal the air temperature, then dew , fog or coouds being to form. At this point where the dew point temperature equals the air temperature, the relative humidity us 100%.

At 100% humidity, wet bulb temperature is equal to the dry bulb temperature. Drier is the air , more will be the difference between dry bulb and wet bulb temperature.

HUMIDITY

Humidity-: Humidity is the amount of water vapour in the air. If there is a lot of water in the air , the humidity will be high.

                               In simple words , humidity means water vapour in the air, but not to be liquid droplets in the fog , clouds,or rain. Higher Humidity reduces the effectiveness of sweating in cooling the body by reducing the rate of evaporation of moisture from the skin. The gaseous state of water, is generally invisible to the human eye. Humidity indicate the likelihood for precipitation, dew or fog to be present.  The amount of water vapour needed to achieve saturation increase as the temperature increases.

There are three types of humility-:

1. Absolute humidity 

2. Relative humidity 

3. Specific humidity 

1. Absolute humidity -: Absolute humidity is the measure of water vapour or moisture in the air, regardless of temperature.  It is expressed as grams of moisture per cubic meter of air ( g/m^3). 

                    In other words , the total mass of water vapour present in a given volume of the mass of the air known as " absolute humidity ". It does not take temperature into consideration. Absolute humidity in the atmosphere ranges from near zero to roughly 30 grams per cubic meter when the air is saturated at 30 °C. It is the mass of water vapour divided by the volume of the air and water vapour mixture, which can be expressed as -

Absolute humidity = mH2O / V(net)                                                                 

The absolute humidity changes as air temperature or pressure changes , if the volume is not fixed.

2. Relative humidity -: Relative Humidity is actual amount of moisture in air at any given temperature,  divided by the greatest amount of moisture the same air could hold without condensation. Relative humidity could also be expressed by moisture, divided by the highest vapour pressure ( saturation condition ) possible under the same conditions. 

                 Highest pressure that water vapour can have without condensation,  i.e. ,100 % relative humidity at various atmospheric temperature. 

3. Specific humidity -: Specific humidity is the ratio of the mass of water vapour to the total mass of the air parcel. Specific humidity is approximately equal to the mixing ratio,which defined as the ratio of the mass of water vapour in an air parcel to the mass of dry air for the same parcel. As the temperature decreasing the amount of the water vapour needed to reach saturation also decreases. As the temperature of a parcel of air become lower it Will eventually reach the point of saturation without adding or losing water mass.
