Study of Effectiveness of Cone Cruciform Vortex Breaker Device in Reducing the Swirl Angle by Modifying the Number of Vanes Using CFD TechniqueBy Swamy Devappa Renuka, Mohammed Sameer, Pritesh Shetty
Abstract: AbstractMany of the large-scale vertical pumps installed in various pumping stations have experienced some sort of vibration, impeller damage due to local cavitation, excessive bearing wear, or loss of pumping efficiency, combinations of which are considered to be caused primarily by undesirable pump approach flow conditions such as vortices, swirl in intake structure, and inappropriate geometrical layout surrounding the bellmouth. Conventional fixes to resolve these problems include vortex breaker devices …

Identification of Safety Climate Factors for Major Hazardous Industries: A Study in Karnataka State, IndiaBy Narayanappa Thimmarayappa Vijalapura, Swamy Devappa Renuka, Rashmi Srinivas
Abstract: AbstractMeasuring of safety climate in the industries provides state of safety level among employees of how management and workers deal with safety on a day to day basis. However, researchers have struggled over the past three decades to identify the predominant factors which influence the safety climate with an objective to establish empirical relationship between them. The safety climate questionnaire containing 81 items corresponding to 20 safety climate factors was …
