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 …

Composition of Ideal Fluid Flows Around Cylinder Using Bilinear Transformation
Abstract: Advent of conformal mapping eases to model a flow in sought-after domain without trade- off between laws of fluid mechanics and the theory of complex valued-functions. The far-reaching properties manifested by conformal mapping discern and facilitate solution of large class of two-dimensional flow problems. Bilinear transformation is amidst the conformal mappings. The properties, mapping a circular boundary onto horizontal line and composition of bilinear transformations is again a bilinear transformation …

Autonomous Optimization, Method Design of Casting and Its Experimental Validation: A Case Study
Abstract: The metal casting is a complicated but a mass production manufacturing technique. But on the otherhand, the chances of casting rejection are also more if proper attention is not made at every stage ofcasting production. In the metal casting process, higher yield and minimum defects level are expectedby the foundry industries. In the present global and competitive world metal casting industries needsto perform efficiently with a reduction in rejections. This …

Assessment of Deflection for Deck Slab Bridge
Abstract: The deflection of deck slab is found with respect to bending stress and normal stress and compared with its permissible value. Span of the deck slab plays an important role in deflection. As span increases more bending takes place hence we get more deflection against bending stress. Also normal stress increases due to increase in span since more load is involved. Width of deck slab is kept constant and span …
