Thermal Analysis of Coolant System for Electric Vehicle
Abstract: An electric car condenser system's thermal examination is presented in this study. The goal is to examine thesystem's ability to dissipate heat underneath various operating circumstances and with various condenser fluids. Anexperimental model for the system is created as part of the study and is based around the limit volume approach. Thecoolant's temperature and the heat transfer coefficients between it, the energy source, and the motor are taken intoconsideration by …

Analytical Comparison of a Gas Turbine Blade Cooling Using Wet and Dry Air
Abstract: Air cooling is widely used technique to shield the turbine aerofoils against hot flue gases. The cooling of a gas turbine blade using wet air and dry air as a coolant is analytically investigated. The investigation is carried out considering effect of rotation for inward and outward flow of coolant. Wet air cooling performance is compared with dry air cooling. It has been observed that wet air provides better cooling …

Passenger car fuel economy: Insights from big data analytics
Abstract: The increasing availability of real-world vehicle telematics through On-Board Diagnostics II (OBD-II) systems has enabled data-driven evaluation of passenger car fuel economy beyond conventional laboratory-based test cycles. While standardized certification procedures ensure repeatability, they often fail to capture the influence of real-world traffic conditions, driver behaviour, and transient vehicle operation. This study presents a structured Big Data Analytics (BDA) approach for analysing high-frequency OBD-II data collected from a gasoline passenger …

Optimization and CFD Analysis of Fin-Enhanced Cooling Systems for Improved PV Efficiency
Abstract: This study is about optimizing and doing a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis of fin-enhanced cooling systems to improve the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) systems. Photovoltaic (PV) panels are sensitive to temperature changes; the temperature influences the performance and lifespan of these panels. High temperatures cause their electrical output to reduce, thereby limiting their performance. In order to address this problem, several coolants such as air, liquid, phase change materials, …

Pressure Swing Adsorption Technique for Separation and Containment of Argon-41
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Air is used as a coolant in several nuclear facilities especially in the Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs). When air interacts with the neutron field, the Argon-40 present (0.93%) in the air gets neutron-activated to form Argon-41which is a beta and gamma emitter, with a half-life period of 1.83 h. Argon-41 is a major radioactive effluent in nuclear reactors accounting for a larger percentage …

Recent Developments in Solar Photovoltaics and Thermal Hybrid Technology
Abstract: The electrical performance of solar PV panel decreases with increase in the panel/module temperature which is cause of concern in the summer season. To decrease the effect on electrical performance due to increase in module temperature, heat is extracted from the module and used as thermal energy. Heat exchanger or heat extraction device is put on the rear surface of the PV panel and working fluid or coolant is flowed …
