NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.

Fiber Optic Analog Link
The Fiber Optic Analog Link consists of a Emitter which converts an electrical signal to a light signal, an optical
fiber to guide the light and a Detector which detects the light signal and converts it to an electrical signal. Light
sources are either light emitting diodes (LED‘s) or laser diodes and detectors are phototransistors or Photodiodes
Emitter
The heart of the Emitter is a light source. The major function of a light source is to convert an information signal
from its electrical form into light. Today’s fiber-optic communications systems use, as a light source, either light-
emitting diodes (LEDs) or laser diodes (LDS). Both are miniature semiconductor devices that effectively convert
electrical signals into light. They need power-supply connections and modulation circuitry. All these components
are usually fabricated in one integrated package. Transistor based driver circuit need for this type LEDs.
Optical fiber
The transmission medium in fiber-optic communications systems is an optical fiber. The optical fiber is the
transparent flexible filament that guides light from a Emitter to a Detector. An optical information signal entered at
the Emitter end of a fiber – optic communications system is delivered to the Detector end by the optical fiber.
Detector
The key component of an optical Detector is its photo detector. The major function of a photo detector is to
convert an optical information signal back into an electrical signal (Photocurrent). The photo detector in today’s
fiber – optic communications systems is a semiconductor photodiode (PD). This miniature device is usually
fabricated together with its electrical circuitry to from an integrated package that provides power-supply
connections and signal amplification.
11. CONCLUSION
Optical link is established between transmitter and
receiver using optical fibre cable and analog signal
was transmitted through it to the receiver. Both, the
input signal and the signal obtained at the receiver
are visualized and compared for correctness in a
DSO. The gain of the received signal may be higher
than the original signal due to the amplifier gain, but
the overall result is very close to the original signal
with some minor errors.

The numerical aperture refers to maximum angle at which the incident on fiber end is totally internally
reflected and is transmitted along the fiber. The cone formed by rotation of this angle along the axis of
the fiber is the cone of acceptance of fiber. if light ray should strike the fiber end within this cone of
acceptance it will be transmitted properly else it is refracted out of fiber.

19. THEORY 19
Attenuation is loss of power. During transit light pulse lose some of their photons thus reducing
their amplitude. Attenuation for a fiber is usually specified in decibels per kilometer. For
commercially available fibers, attenuation ranges from 1db/km for premium small core glass
fibers to over 2000 dB/km for a large core plastic fiber. Loss is by definition negative decibels.
In common usage, discussions of loss omit the negative sign. The basic measurement for loss
in a fiber is made by taking the logarithmic ratio of the input power (Pi) to the output power
(Po).

Modulation:
To transmit information via an optical fiber communication system it is necessary to modulate a
property of light with the information signal. This property may be intensity, frequency, phase with
either analog or digital signals. The choices are indicated by the characteristics of optical fiber, the
available optical sources and detectors, and the considerations of the overall system.
Intensity Modulation:
In this system the information signal is used to control the intensity of the source. At the far end, the
variation in the amplitude of the received signal is used to recover the original information signal.

1. Connect the power supply cord to the main power plug & to trainer ST2502.
2. Make the following connections as shown in the setup.
a) Connect the FG output marked 1 KHz sine wave to input of the emitter.
b) Plug in a fiber optic link from output of emitter LED to the photo transistor of the detector.
c) Detector output is connected to input of Amplifier.
3. Turn the 1 KHz preset in function generator block to fully clockwise (maximum amplitude)
position.
4. Switch on the Power Supply of the trainer and oscilloscope. With the help of DSO observe the
input signal at emitter also; observe the output from the detector 1. It should carry a smaller
version of the original 1 KHz sine wave, illustrating that the modulated light beam has been
reconverted back into an electrical signal.
5. The output from detector 1 is further amplified by AC amplifier 1. This amplifier increases the
amplitude of the received signal, and also removes the DC component, which is present at
detector output. Monitor the output of amplifier and adjust the gain until the monitored signal
has same amplitude as that applied to emitter.

Technique using Digital input signal.
Apparatus required:
1. ST2502 trainer kit.
2. Optical Fiber cable
3. Digital Storage Oscilloscope
4. Connecting cables and probes.
28. THEORY 28
With intensity modulation, discrete changes in light intensity are obtained(i.e. ON-OFF pulses) figure
below shows a block schematic of a typical digital optical fiber link.
Initially, input digital signal from information source is suitably encoded for optical transmission. The
LED drive circuit directly modulates the intensity of the light with encoded digital signal. Hence, a
digital optical signal is launched into the optical fiber cable. The photo transistor used as detector is
followed by an amplifier to provide gain. Finally, the signal obtained is decoded to give the original
digital information.

1. Connect the power supply cord to the main power plug & to trainer ST2502.
2. Make the following connections as shown in the setup.
a) Connect the FG output marked 1 KHz square wave to input of the emitter.
b) Plug in a fiber optic link from output of emitter LED to the comparator input.
c) The comparator output is connected to the photo transistor of the detector, and the detector
output is connected to input of Amplifier.
3. Turn the 1 KHz preset in function generator block to fully clockwise (maximum amplitude)
position.
4. Switch on the Power Supply of the trainer and oscilloscope. With the help of DSO observe the
input signal at emitter also; observe the output from the detector 1. It should carry a smaller
version of the original 1 KHz sine wave, illustrating that the modulated light beam has been
reconverted back into an electrical signal.
5. The output from detector 1 is further amplified by AC amplifier 1. This amplifier increases the
amplitude of the received signal, and also removes the DC component, which is present at
detector output. Monitor the output of amplifier and adjust the gain until the monitored signal
has same amplitude as that applied to emitter.
6. While monitoring the output of Amplifier change the amplitude of modulating sine wave by
varying the 1 KHz preset in the function generator block. Note that as expected, the amplitude of
the receiver output signal changes.

using optical power meter.
Apparatus required:
1. ST2502 trainer kit.
2. Optical Fiber cable
3. Power Meter ST2551 with power supply cord
4. Connecting cables and probes.
33. OPTICAL POWER METER 33
An optical power meter (OPM) is a type of electronic test device
used to measure the power output of fiber optic equipment or the
power or loss of an optical signal transmitted through a fiber cable.
An OPM uses a photodiode to generate an electrical current
proportional to optical power. This allows the OPM to determine
the average output power level of the light source.
An optical power meter displays two key test parameters that
allow fiber design specifications like insertion loss or low
attenuation to be evaluated. The first is the wavelength setting in
nanometers (nm) and the second is the power level in deciBels
(dB or dBm).

2. Connect the 0.5m fiber cable in between the emitter LED & I/P of power meter.
3. Switch on the instrument fiber optic trainer & power meter. Note the reading in
power meter.
4. Replace the 0.5m fiber cable with the 1m cable.
5. Again note the reading in power. This reading will be lesser then the previous one,
indicating that the propagation loss increases with increase in length. Calculate the
increase in propagation loss as Δ𝛼 = 𝑃0.5 𝑑𝐵/𝑚 − 𝑃1.0 𝑑𝐵/𝑚 .
6. Perform the same experiment with emitter 2.

Bending Loss
Optical fibers confine and transmit optical signals in
core region by total internal reflection, which occurs
above certain critical angle for a given fiber.
Bending a fiber can change the incident angle at
core-cladding interface to be less than the critical
angle. This causes the light propagating in a core
region to be coupled to a cladding region or to be
transmitted out of the fiber through cladding
depending on the bend radius.
