A Review on Behavior of Heat Transfer in the Fluid in Shell and Tube Type Heat Exchanger
Abstract: The primary objective of this literature analysis is to examine the many applications of "Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)" within the domain of heat exchangers. "Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)" has been utilized in several investigations relating to heat exchangers, including fluid flow maldistribution, fouling, pressure drop, and thermal analysis during the stages of design and optimization. The simulations conducted demonstrate that the solutions generated from CFD are generally within the permissible …

Cutting Tool for Accurate Cutting of PVC Pipes
Abstract: An abstract describing a PVC pipe cutting tool based on Nichrome 80 wire is provided. The cutting tool consists of a frame, a handle, and a high-resistance nichrome 80 cutting wire that generates heat when an electrical current passes through it. The wire is mounted between two fixed posts on the frame and is powered by a battery-operated electrical source. All the user has to do is hold the handle …

Modelling of Spot Weld Features Using Solid Works and Experimental Modal Analysis of Resistance Spot Welded Thin Sheets of Low Carbon Steel Panels
Abstract: Resistance Spot Welding of thin (RSW) low carbon steel sheets are widely used in automotive, aero-space sectors, furniture, medical equipments, packaging and electronics industries. Although, RSW is well established for low thickness sheets and static design guidelines are well defined, the dynamic analysis of spot welded panels has not been studied in detail. In this paper, solid modeling is done using Solid Works incorporating all the spot weld geometrical features …

A Review on Increases the Heat Transfer Rate of the Solar Air Heater by Adding the Fins in the Absorber Plate
Abstract: Solar air heaters are extensively utilised in a diverse range of domestic and industrial settings. The need to enhance the thermal efficiency of solar air heaters has prompted researchers to concentrate on enhancing the thermal performance through the implementation of artificial flow modification techniques in the flow field. Consequently, the presence of this phenomenon will disrupt the laminar sublayer located beneath the absorber plate, so contributing to an elevation in …
