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 …

Design of Air Cushion Vehicle
Abstract: AbstractIn this research we made an attempt to design a hovercraft vehicle. This vehicle is different from other conventional and terrestrial of this kind that uses the single directional control as rudder. Major consideration is that the hovercraft should weigh less than the conventional crafts. This design uses a double duct motor for both the lift and thrust moments. The air is continuously forced under the vehicle by a fan, …

Passive Augmentation Studies in a Double Pipe Heat Exchanger with Ellipsoidal Dimples
Abstract: In this work, the numerical studies of heat transfer augmentation of a counter-current double pipe heat exchanger with ellipsoidal dimples (inward-facing, raised dimples) on the inner tube was performed using SOLIDWORKS software. The effect of dimple depth, dimple pitch and number of dimples/angles between two dimples on heat transfer was investigated at a constant volumetric flow rate of 4 LPM for hot (water) and cold (water) fluids. The effect of …

Manavalakalai - A Scientific Approach
Abstract: Manavalakalai Yoga practice was formulated by Shri. Vethathiri Maharishi. In this yoga practice meditation and introspection play vital role to minimize mental frequency. The physical senses of the body are always affected by one’s mental activities. That is, the body is induced and activated to function on every level according to one’s thought. Every human being is a bio magnetic unit. Life means action, energy, or force. Body and Sprit …
