  Defect Diagnosis and Modelling for A Rotating Machine Running at A Steady Pace

  By Rajeev Kumar, Ravi Kant Singh, Ravi Shankar Rai, Vikas Kumar, Rakesh Dubey, Subhash Gautam

  Abstract: Rotary equipment, such as gears, shafts, pumps, and bearings, are widely used across various rotary machine in industries, often operating under different loading conditions. The fluctuations in loading can lead to fatigue failures in rotating components, significantly affecting machinery performance. To investigate the behavior of such rotating equipment under diverse operational scenarios, a numerical model has been created. This approach can replace costly and often challenging experimental methods. However, it …

  Review of Thermal Performance of Solar Air Heaters: Influence of Composite Materials and Advanced Thermal Storage Techniques

  By Santosh Katkade, Ankur Vasava, Vishal Sulakhe, Kiran Kaware, Arif Mansuri, Rakesh Dubey

  Abstract: Solar air heaters (SAHs) are essential devices for capturing solar energy and converting it into heat, finding applications in steam generation, refrigeration, agricultural drying, and space and water heating in residential and commercial environments. However, the thermal performance of SAHs is often limited by the low heat transfer coefficient of air and the absence of solar energy during nighttime, impacting efficiency and reliability. To address these challenges, this study explores …
