A theoretical investigation is performed to determine performance characteristics of a Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWI) with circular arc blade section. The results are compared with those of HAWI having airfoil ...

An experimental investigation of the mean pressure distributions around an isolated and a group of square and rectangular cylinders placed in a uniform cross flow is presented here. The cylinders had side ratios of H ...

Friction and wear properties of mild steel are tested in a pin-on-disc type apparatus. The effects of vibration on friction and wear of mild steel are taken into consideration. An experimental setup is designed and ...

This thesis develops a new mathematical formulation, specially suitable for numerical analysis of stresses and displacements of three-dimensional mixed-boundary-value elastic problems. Earlier, mathematical models of ...

Energy Sector plays an important role in the development of socio-economic condition of the country. The supply of electricity by Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) and Dhaka Electric Supply Authority (DESA) is ...

The temperature, heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics in a 50 rom x 50 mm square duct with one replaceable heated wall have been experimentally investigated. In the experiment thirteen different heated walls are ...

An experimental investigation was carried out to determine the heat transfer coefficient from a rectangular tilted cavity to the ambient due to the buoyancy driven flow in the cavity. The cavity is partially open from ...

In view of the energy crisis and emission problems, alternative fuels are promising substitute to the conventional petroleum fuels. Among them, vegetable oils seem attractive substitute to diesel fuels. They have the ...
