Statistical Study of Turbulence Near Piano Key Weir: A Review
Abstract: Piano Key Weirs are more efficient than the traditional Labyrinth weir and Piano Key Weirs can be an interesting solution for increasing the active storage of reservoir or for improving the safety of dam during extreme flood. This technology helps to reduce the reservoir sedimentation. It will also help in minimizing the sub-mergence effect. Flushing is vital for the preservation of long-term storage in reservoirs. However, downstream impacts such as …

Review on Generation Sources of Electrical Power
Abstract: AbstractElectricity generation is the progression of creating electric power of bases of primary energy. Designed for utilities from the electric power industry, it is the step prior to its delivery to end operators (transmission, distribution, other) or its storage (consuming, like the pumped-storage process). Electric energy is generated via the movement of electrons, often termed "current," via a conductor, like a wire. The sum of electric energy generated be determined …

Numerical Simulation of Air Flow Field of A Gas Turbine Engine Air blast Atomizer
Abstract: One of the most crucial process that occurs before the fuel is burned in the combustion chamber is atomization. The performance of a engine will be depend mainly on the fuel mixture. Performance of the engine depends on atomization process because it breaks the bulk fuel into small droplets and injects it into the combustion chamber, in order to make this happen consequently the dimensions of most of the fuel …

Thermal Degradation Kinetics and Activation Energy of Recycled High-Density Polyethylene/Fly Ash Composites at Varying Filler Loadings
Abstract: The ever-increasing plastic waste and coal fly ash are a serious environmental problem, which have to be addressed with effective recycling methods that transform plastic waste and coal fly ash into high value-added composites of good thermal properties. Although the use of recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) is an area of interest, the effect of fly ash reinforcement on thermal degradation kinetics and activation energy is still poorly characterized, and a …

Flow Structures Around Proposed Bridge Piers
Abstract: The current study investigated the flow hydrodynamics around proposed bridge pier and made comparison with existing bridge pier. To quantify the flow structures around the piers, the flow and turbulence parameters are analysed to understand the interference of one bridge pier over another. The experiments were performed on recirculating channel of 15 m length, 0.89 m width and 0.65 m height. Instantaneous three-dimensional velocity data was recorded by acoustic Doppler …

Mathematical Modelling of Thin-layer Drying Process of Bamboo (Bambusa bambos) Shoots at Varying Temperature
Abstract: AbstractThe present study was carried out for understanding the drying mechanism in bamboo shoots and thereby helpful for selection and designing of appropriate drying system. Thin-layer drying characteristics of bamboo shoot slices were determined experimentally as a function of temperature using a laboratory tray dryer. Six mathematical models (Henderson and Pabis, Logarithms, Newton, Page, Two term, Wang and Sing) for describing the thin-layer drying behaviour of bamboo shoot slices were …

Digital Twin Assisted Intelligent Prediction of Polymer Composite Degradation Under Environmental Exposure
Abstract: Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) deployed in aerospace, marine, automotive, and renewable-energy structures are continuously subjected to coupled environmental stressors — ultraviolet (UV) radiation, moisture ingress, thermal cycling, and mechanical loading — that progressively degrade their mechanical performance. Conventional accelerated ageing tests and empirical lifetime models are time-consuming, destructive, and poorly suited to in-service, asset-specific degradation forecasting. This paper proposes a Digital Twin (DT) assisted intelligent prediction framework that fuses a …
