SIMULATION OF COLD DIE COMPACTION ALUMINA POWDER
Abstract: Compaction process was analyzed mathematically by predicting a steady-state mathematical model in order to give more description and understanding for the mechanism of this process. Numerical investigation has been carried out on axisymmetric cylindrical parts using the finite difference method with relaxation technique to examine the physical significance of constitutive model to produce the pressure gradients during compaction. The pressure distribution model is then typically coupled with empirical functions relating …

THERMODYNAMIC SIMULATION OF PERFORMANCE OF ATKINSON CYCLE WITH VARIATION OF CYCLE PEAK TEMPERATURE & SPECIFIC HEAT RATIO OF WORKING FLUID
Abstract: Thermodynamic analysis of an ideal air-standard Atkinson cycle with variable specific heat is presented in this paper. The paper outlines the effect of specific heat of working fluid and peak temperature of the cycle on the performance of the cycle efficiency and work output. It showed significant effect on the performance of the cycle over the constant specific heat model. The results obtained from this work can be helpful in …
