Design of Experiments of an Effective Thermal Conductivity of Composite Matrix by using Numerical Simulation
Abstract: Effective thermal conductivities of fillers and matrix reinforced composite models are analysed by using Finite Element (FE) simulation. The process parameters of different filler concentrations, filler piece arrangements and thermal conductivity ratio are analysed by Design of Experiment. In this study, simulation based on fully replicable five -factor, five-level central composite design. Regression models are developed to analyze the effects of process parameter. The responses are analyzing the direct and …

Hill Climbing Motorcycle with Extended Swing Arm and Mono Suspension
Abstract: The paper “Hill climbing motorcycle with extended swing arm and mono suspension” deals with the implementation of various parts for the advancement of the road motorcycle to hill climbing motorcycle. In recent years, hill climbing is considered as a sport in many abroad countries. No normal road motorcycle can be used for this purpose. i.e. it does not provide proper stability and control of the vehicle over steep hills. In …

Research on Turbine Volute by Varying Different Mass Flow Rate using CFX
Abstract: The volute is a necessary component in the centrifugal machines. Low efficiency is the fundamental disadvantage of a radial flow turbine, no matter the turbine being an essential low-cost technology for hydropower generation. Poor flow profile has been mentioned by way of different radial flow turbine overall performance investigators as one of the reasons for the underperformance. Improving its overall performance is a tremendous way to enhance the total performance …

The Numerical Calculation of the Behavior of the Gas Bubble, Fixed on the Solid Surface
Abstract: The existing literature data permit only qualitatively to trace the behavior of gas bubble, fixed on the solid surface, with the narrow range of Bond numbers (β). For investigation of the profiles, common surface energy of gas bubbles and equilibrium of forces, which retain bubbles on the solid surface in the fluid, the computer model of numerical calculation of the profile, surface square, volume of the gas bubble, fixed on …

Research on Turbine Volute design using CFX
Abstract: Volute is centrifugal part or basically it is a casing of turbine, centrifugal pump and turbo chargers. It is the most important component of turbine which converts velocity into pressure by the help of blades. It has a funnel type shape, with increasing diameter with curved shape. It receives fluid from the impeller and maintaining its velocity to the diffuser. While converting the fluids velocity into kinetic energy there are …
