Augmentation of Heat Transfer in a Trough Shaped Solar Collector Compared to Flat Plate Collector Using CFD
Abstract: Surface Enhancement plays a vital role in augmenting the thermal performance of flat plate collectors. In this paper, an attempt is made to explain in a comparative way the effect of surface geometry of solar flat plate collector having troughs with that of a normal collector. Flat plate collectors with and without troughs of dimensions 1 × 0.5 m is modelled in CATIA V5R19 and meshed using ANSYS ICEM CFD. …

Studies on Thick Aerofoils at Subsonic Speeds for a Civil Transport Wing
Abstract: Airfoils are the most important elements of an aircraft wing, having a chord length a camber and a thickness distribution. Traditionally, airfoils were being developed by empirical methods taking considerable support from wind tunnel testing. The ratio of lift to drag indicates the efficiency of an aerofoil. The purpose of this study is to adequately acquaint, as a first step, with a validated vertex lattice method code, the X-foil for …

Comparative Computational Investigation of Aerofoil Performance with and without Vortex Generators
Abstract: AbstractAircraft with an efficient aerodynamic design is a major concern in current aerospace industries trends, but the flow separation has been playing a predominant role in the aircraft performance reduction and thereby affecting the aerodynamic efficiency. To overcome these problems, vortex generators (vortilon) are fixed on the upper surface of the wing. This paper focused on the aerodynamic performance analysis of available NACA-23012 aerofoil with and without Vortex Generators, for …
