The present research work concerns with the dynamic conditions of vertical axis vane type rotor at different Reynolds number. The investigation on wind loading and aerodynamic effects on the four, five and six bladed ...

In the present study, a motor-drive test-bench is designed and fabricated using locally available hardware components. The test-bench contains a 12V DC motor which is connected to a flywheel to provide inertial load and ...

The subject of alternative fuels for diesel engines has become a popular one, particularly among environmentalists and political activists. In an effort to thwart human-induced environmental problems, such as global warming ...

The present numerical study has been conducted to investigate the unsteady boundary layer characteristics over a flat plate under the influence of wake vortices induced from an elliptic cylinder positioned in the free ...

Under the influence of an AC electric field, electrolytes on a planar microelectrodes exhibit steady fluid flow, termed as AC electroosmosis. A numerical model using finite element method has been developed to solve the ...

During boiling of a liquid at film boiling region, the surface temperature at where heat flux is the minimum and liquid takes the maximum time to evaporate completely is known as Leidenfrost temperature. An experimental ...

Bilayer composites, such as metal-metal, steel-polymer, concrete-steel etc., having different mechanical properties layer by layer are widely used for modern structures This thesis deals with the stress analysis of two ...

Pulsating heat pipe is a two-phase heat transfer device that uses pulsating motion to transfer heat from a source and passively move it to a condenser or radiator. In the recent past, many researches have been carried ...
