Thermal And Hydraulic Performance Of A Novel Evaporator Coil For Refrigeration Systems
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
With increasing energy cost and constraints on emission standards, there is a strong need to reduce energy consumption and/or increase equipment efficiency. Refrigeration systems are the third largest use of electricity ...
Microfluidic method of viscosity measurement in propane-saturated bitumen
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
In this paper, the viscosity propane-saturated bitumen was measured through a microfluidic chip. Property measurement of propane-saturated bitumen has been traditionally done on a heavy-duty PVT cell, and the application ...
Sonification of Flow Instabilities in CFD Aneurysm Models
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
Recent investigations using image-based computational flow dynamics (CFD) have revealed turbulent-like blood flow instabilities (hemodynamics) within intracranial cerebral aneurysms and surrounding vasculature, which may ...
Droplet Impact, Spreading and Freezing on Metallic Surfaces of varying Wettability
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
Ice formation and accumulation can lead to operational failure and risks for structures, including power transmission lines, aircraft, offshore platforms, marine vessels, and wind turbines. Liquid repellent and icephobic ...
Experimental Investigation of Ice Accretion on Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
In this paper, ice accretion on a wind turbine blade with a NACA 63415 airfoil is investigated with experimental techniques. Several different angles of attack, from 0° to 90°, and wind velocities, 3 m/s, 4 m/s and 5 m/s ...
Assessment of Aliphatic Based Soot Inception in Laminar Diffusion Flames
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
Soot models are key components of computation fluid dynamic combustion codes that attempt to prescribe how soot is formed. However, due to the complex nature of soot formation, not all pathways may have been fully ...
Controlled Deflection Of Diamagnetic Biocompatible Aqueous Droplets
(2018-05)
We present a microfluidic platform that is capable of controlled diamagnetic droplet displacement. In this method, monodisperse aqueous droplets are produced in a continuous phase of hydrophobic ferrofluid. Both phases are ...
Shear Layer Instabilities In A Counter-Flowing Wall Jet
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
Counter-flowing wall jets are often used in heat transfer and combustion applications. While several experimental and numerical studies have been conducted to evaluate the characteristics of counter-flowing wall jets, their ...
Modeling The Effect Of Produced Water On Asphaltene Deposition In A Production Tubing Using Population Balance
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
An engineering model evaluates the effect of produced water in a production tubing on the reduction of asphaltene deposition on the tube (pipe) wall. We rely on an industrial hypothesis that droplets colliding with the ...
An Experimental Study Of Yield Stress Fluid Displacement Flows In A Moving Annulus
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
In this paper, the displacement flow of a viscoplastic fluid by a non-Newtonian fluid in a vertical annulus is experimentally studied. The two fluids have a very small density difference. The light displaced fluid is placed ...
