[ 1 ] - Determination of Periodic Solution for Tapered Beams with Modified Iteration Perturbation Method

In this paper, we implemented the Modified Iteration Perturbation Method (MIPM) for approximating the periodic behavior of a tapered beam. This problem is formulated as a nonlinear ordinary differential equation with linear and nonlinear terms. The solution is quickly convergent and does not need complicated calculations. Comparing the results of the MIPM with the exact solution shows that this...

[ 2 ] - تعیین تجربی رژیم احتراقی مخلوط همگن در یک موتور اشتعال تراکمی

احتراق اشتعال تراکمی بار همگن، مفهوم احتراقی مفیدی از نظر بازدهی و میزان آلاینده‌ها برای موتورهای درون‌سوز است. لیکن بازة کارکردی محدود این راهبرد احتراقی سبب شده است که استفاده کاربردی از آن در موتورها تاکنون موفق نبوده باشد. یکی از روش‌های کاربردی نمودن آن در موتورها این است که با دیگر انواع احتراق مشابه، همچون احتراق دیزلی و احتراق پیش‌آمیخته جزئی ترکیب گردد و هر راهبرد در بازة کارکردی بهینة...

[ 3 ] - Simulation of Dual Fuel Combustion of Direct Injection Engine with Variable Natural Gas Premixed Ratio

Nowadays, the major challenge of diesel engines development is simultaneous nitrogen oxides and soot emissions reduction without the thermal efficiency drop. Hence, different combustion concepts should be investigated to reach optimum emission and performance conditions in diesel engines without expensive aftertreatment systems. This paper presents the results of a study on a dual fuel (DF) eng...

[ 4 ] - Uncertainties due to Fuel Heating Value and Burner Efficiency on Performance Functions of Turbofan Engines Using Monte Carlo Simulation

In this paper, the impacts of the uncertainty of fuel heating value as well as the burner efficiency on performance functions of a turbofan engine are studied. The mean value and variance curves for thrust, thrust specific fuel consumption as well as propulsive, thermal and overall efficiencies are drawn and analyzed, considering the aforementioned uncertainties based on various Mach numbers at...

In this study, the effect off adding SiO2 nanoparticles on the viscosity of base fluid is investigated experimentally. Base fluids are chosen among common heat transfer fluids such as ethylene glycol, transformer oil and water. In addition different volume percentages of ethylene glycol in water are used as ethylene glycol-water solution. In every base fluid different volume fractions of SiO2 n...

[ 7 ] - Analytical Solution of The Laminar Boundary Layer Flow over Semi-Infinite Flat Plate: Variable Surface Temperature

In this paper, the problem of forced convection over a horizontal flat plate under condition of variable plate temperature is presented and the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is employed to compute an approximation to the solution of the system of nonlinear differential equations governing the problem. This paper provides good supplements to the existing literature and generalizes the previ...
