Design and CFD Analysis with Experimental Testing of Exhaust Manifold
Abstract: The exhaust manifold undergoes back pressure problems. If the design of the manifold consists of sharp edges or bends which will tend to create turbulence and increase in pressure. Due to increase in turbulence it can cause an increase in back pressure. As the back pressure increases it tends to improper scavenging of the exhaust gases. So the improper scavenging of the gases leads to improper burning of fuel which …

Experimental Investigation of Overall Heat Transfer Coefficientin Drop wise Condensation
Abstract: The experiments are performed to study the heat transfer characteristics over a drop wise condensation. The phenomenon of drop wise condensation is in which the condensate forms into drops rather than covering the entire cooling surface with a continuous film. In drop wise condensation, heat transfer coefficient produced is 2 to 10 times greater than those produced by film wise condensation. Hence drop wise condensation is desirable as it is …
