Comparison of Stack Type EGR Cooler for Diesel Engine using CFD
Abstract: The EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) technique can greatly reduce the NOx emission of diesel engines; especially when an EGR cooler is employed. Numerical simulations are applied to study the flow field and temperature distributions inside the EGR cooler. Three different models of EGR cooler are investigated, among which model A is a traditional one, shell and tube type, while models B is stack type. In model C, fins are added …

Fluid-Structure Interaction Analysis of a Rubber Bellow Segment made of Hyper Elastic Material
Abstract: Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is the interaction of a moveable and/or deformable structure that is immersed in a fluid and/or contains a fluid. Motion of the structure causes a change in the fluid’s stresses that act on the structure’s wetted surface, which in turn causes a change in the structure’s motion. The present research analyses the deformation produced in a hyper elastic rubber bellow segment due to the pressure generated by …

Optimization of Venturimeter Geometry for Minimum Pressure Drop using CFD Analysis
Abstract: A venturimeter is one of the accurate flow measurement devices used to measure volumetric flow rate based on differential pressure. Pressure recovery is a problem when flow measurement is done by venturimeter. So, it is necessary to select its geometrical parameters in such a way that minimum pressure loss occurs. In this paper, optimization of geometrical parameters of venturimeter for minimum pressure drop has been done using CFD analysis. For …

Review Paper on Experimental Investigation of the Impingement Cooling for Single Stationary Flat Plate in Case of Laminar Flow
Abstract: In this paper, impingement cooling on single stationary flat stainless steel plate in which we illustrate the effects of cooling rate, heat transfer rate, and heat transfer coefficient of plate when jet hole diameter changes from 5 to 8 mm; it means that there are changes in Re and Nu number and corresponding changes in air velocity. Select the jet to target plate distance as 9D, where D=diameter of the …

The Impingement Cooling for Single Stationary Flat Plate in Case of Laminar Flow
Abstract: In this paper, impingement cooling on single stationary flat stainless steel plate is performed to illustrate the effects of cooling rate, heat transfer rate, heat transfer coefficient of the plate when the jet hole diameter is changed from 5 to 8 mm. It means that changes in Reynolds number (Re) and Nusselt number (Nu) show corresponding changes in air velocity. Select the jet to target plate distance nine times diameter …
