Hydraulic and Thermal Performances of a Counter-Flow Heat Exchanger with Fins
Abstract: Computational analysis has been conducted to examine the flow and heat transfer characteristics in a two-dimensional iso-thermal-fluxed circular-duct fitted with fins. The computations are based on finite volume methods employed with the simple algorithm. Paper reports are based on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling studies on laminar flow heat transfer, friction factor and thermal performance of a counter-flow heat exchanger equipped with two types of tube insert, one including …

Advanced Ceramic Matrix Composites in Rocket Nozzle
Abstract: In earlier days rocket nozzles were made up of monolithic ceramics, zirconium, and nimonic alloys. Though the materials have the capability to withstand enough temperature, they have the drawbacks such as manufacturing cost & time, strength to weight ratio.In order to cut the manufacturing cost & time, the strength to weight ratio and also to improve the capability to withstand high temperature, a composite material—C/SiC—shows enough required properties in the …

Vortex Enhanced Flow Mixing – A Review
Abstract: In this paper we have basic explanation of vortex and deeply explain the various vortex particle methods of water, smoke, and explosions. So from we knew that in water,smoke and explosion field we have getdifferent vortex particle effects which are useful for this topic. We have also explain Helmholtz’s theorems as basic principle of vortex for achieving better flow mixing and we have describe various experimental results of interaction of …
