Study of Effectiveness of Cone Cruciform Vortex Breaker Device in Reducing the Swirl Angle by Modifying the Number of Vanes Using CFD Technique
Abstract: AbstractMany of the large-scale vertical pumps installed in various pumping stations have experienced some sort of vibration, impeller damage due to local cavitation, excessive bearing wear, or loss of pumping efficiency, combinations of which are considered to be caused primarily by undesirable pump approach flow conditions such as vortices, swirl in intake structure, and inappropriate geometrical layout surrounding the bellmouth. Conventional fixes to resolve these problems include vortex breaker devices …

Effect of Swirl on the Performance of LPG Domestic Burner
Abstract: In the present experimental work, an1 attempt is made to improve the heating efficiency of theof the conventional LPG burner with modifications. The LPG burners having the multiple fueljets with an angle of 15°, 20° and 25° are used to create the swirl in the flame jets. The porousmedium is also used the burner for the study. The performance of the conventional LPGburner (radial burner) is studied in terms of …

Design and Development of Electromagnetic Braking System Based on Electromagnetic Induction and Eddy Current
Abstract: In this paper, electromagnetic braking system has been developed that ensures passenger’s, driver’s and other road user’s safety and comfort. Most of the conventional braking system like mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic have certain limitations. In mechanical brake, erosion of the mechanical pads is carried out by frictional force and requires periodic replacement of the bearing. Fluid leakage in hydraulic and pneumatic could lead to brake failure and reduces the effectiveness of …
