Heat Transfer Analysis Through External Fins by CFD Tool
Abstract: The natural convection heat transfer from the heated vertical plates to air can be enhanced with the amendment in the shape of the plates. One of the methods for increasing the heat transfer is by the use of extended surfaces such as external fins. This study includes the CFD analysis of the heat transfer enhancement through different fins having various shapes and sizes considering both conductive and nonconductive fins. The …

Heat Transfer and Exergy Analysis of Methane-Air Flame Impinging on Plane Surfaces
Abstract: Exergy and heat flow have been numerically investigated for flame impinging on flat circular plates. The maximum work available when the system is brought to thermodynamic equilibrium state with its surrounding is known as the exergy of a system. This state of equilibrium of the system depends on the pressure, temperature, and composition of environment. Efficiency based on exergy is otherwise known as the second-law efficiency which measures the usefulness …

Application of Evaporative Cooling in Mushroom Farming: A Tube in Tube Type Evaporative Cooler
Abstract: The effort focuses on mushroom production using evaporative cooling. It has various advantages over conventional cooling techniques, including the ability to drop the temperature based on environmental conditions, the usage of 80 percent less energy than air conditioning, and the cost and maintenance requirements. With proper preparation, evaporative cooling in agriculture can assist lower the temperature and high relative humidity. Also, it helps in storing goods in cold storage using …

Moisture Controlled Water Pump Using Op-Amp
Abstract: Soil moisture monitoring framework is the blend of gadgets that can detect soil moisture, read or store information, and communicate the information back to the computer, which helps organise and understand the soil moisture information. Optimum plant development is primarily dependant on the proper water content in the soil. In order to boost the nature of yields and preserve water assets during irrigation, the soil moisture inspecting apparatus is created …

Optimal Selection of Control Factors in Abrasive Water Jet Cutting of Titanium Grade 5
Abstract: The Technique for Order Preference by Similarity Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) approach was used to carry out optimization studies on an abrasive water jet (AWJ) cutting process with multiweapon characteristics based on Multi Criteria Decision Making Methodology (MCDM). The process parameters water jet pressure, traverse rate and standoff distance are optimized with multiresponse characteristics, including the depth of penetration (DOP) smooth zone (SR) . The optimized results obtained from this approach …
