Effect of Dispersing Copper Oxide Nanoparticles to RT-35 filled a Circular Thermal Energy Storage System
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
Phase Change Materials (PCMs) have been widely used in Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage Systems (LHTES) to store and release thermal energy. However, PCMs suffer from their low thermal conductivities, which leads to ...
Gust Response Of A Two-Dimensional Nonlinear Wing
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
In this paper, the equations of motion for a twodimensional (2-D) wing encountering a gust are presented. The wing has two degrees of freedom, i.e. pitch and plunge, and its motion is restrained by nonlinear translational ...
An Experimental And Theoretical Investigation Into Airflow Through Air Box Of A Potato-Rock Separator
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
Velocity and pressure distribution in the air duct system and that over the grate of a potato-rock separator of Alan Equipment, PEI was analysed utilizing computational fluid dynamics. COMSOL software using appropriate ...
A Multi-Color Technique For Three-Dimensional Flow Characterization
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
Turbulent flows are fundamentally three-dimensional. Due to their inherent complexity, turbulent flow characterization is heavily relies on experimental research. A multi-color grid technique was recently proposed by the ...
An Immersed-Boundary (Ib)-Based 3D Tornado Model And Its Application
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
A tornado features kinematically combining three major co-existent components, namely, updraft, translation, and rotation, which involve all the three dimensions in space while transient in time. For numerical simulation ...
Wind Turbine Wake Effect Visualization And LiDAR Measurement Techniques
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
The expansion of wind energy development has resulted in larger wind farms and closer placement of turbines to utilize the space available. Each turbine produces a wake that affects downstream turbines, which causes issues ...
Piercing A Liquid Droplet By A Gas Jet
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
Impingement of a gas jet on a suspended water droplet is studied experimentally. The jet penetration process depends on the jet velocity and jet to droplet diameter ratio. At small jet to diameter ratios and large enough ...
Temperature Measurements Of N-Heptane Injection And Combustion In The Ignition Quality Tester (LQT™)
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
An experimental work has been conducted to investigate the ignition of n-heptane in the ignition quality tester (IQT™) by using fine gage thermocouples. A set of eight butt-welded exposed junction thermocouples (TCs) were ...
Inlet Channel Effects On Archimedes Screw Generators
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
The Archimedes screw is one of the oldest machines in the world, and has been used for various applications including hydroelectric power generation. This project investigated the effect of inlet conditions on a laboratory-scale ...
Predicting The Consumption Speed Of A Premixed Flame Subjected To An Unsteady Stretch Rate
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
The stretched laminar flame model provides a convenient approach to embed realistic chemical kinetics when simulating turbulent premixed flames. When positive-only periodic strain rates are applied to a laminar flame there ...
