In this research, a gas turbine blade cascade was investigated. Flow analysis around the blade was conducted using RSM and RNG.K-ε turbulence modeling and it is simulated by Fluent software. The results were considered for the cases as Mach number loss at the trailing edge of blade caused by vortexes that were generated at the end of blade. Effect of cooling flow through the trailing edge on th...

Precise prediction of particulate movement is needed to provide a better understanding of how airborne disease organisms move within ventilated facilities. Bacteria often adhere to larger airborne particulates, which will modify their movement behavior in ventilated rooms and may provide an environment to allow them to remain virulent longer. An empty chamber (206 H x 203 W x 386 cm L) with a c...

Aero gas turbine engines have been using mainly film cooling and convection cooling techniques. For operating at high gas temperature amongst different cooling options the transpiration cooling technique has emerged as the most promising technique to improve the gas turbine cycle performance by allowing higher turbine inlet temperatures. This paper investigates the advantages of transpiration c...

During hot seasons the inlet temperature of Nitrogen increases, as a result compressor consumes more power for compressing a specific mass ratio of fluid and consequently total energy consumption of the compressor increases as well. In this research, a three stage centrifugal compressor with intercooler was modeled thermodynamically in order to decreases the energy consumption of the compressor...

In this study, effect of adding in SiO2 nanoparticle in base fluid (water) in car radiator is investigated experimentally. Radiators are compact heat exchangers that optimized and evaluated by considering different working conditions. Car\'s cooling system, plays an important role in vehicle\'s performance, consists of two main parts, known as radiator and fan. Radiators are compact heat exchan...

The aim of the present work was to study the effect of various process parameters on an aqueous-based film coating process of tablets performed in a side-vented perforated pan-coating apparatus. Results of preliminary trials indicate that spray rate, inlet air temperature, percentage solid content, atomizing air pressure and speed of rotation affected characteristics of coating. A 3 full factor...

Spray drying is a common drying technique in food industries to convert liquid to powder form. A good understanding on the dynamic behavior of the process is important to ensure proper control. The aim of this study is to develop empirical models for spray drying of whole milk powder and orange juice powder. A preliminary study on the effect of several inputs such as inlet air temperature, feed...

A printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) is utilized to cool the compressor inlet air increase compression efficiency in a liquid energy storage and natural gas (LNG) coupled system, which can offer large-scale with significantly improved exergy round-trip efficiency. In this work, effect of pressure air, incline angle, hydraulic diameter on performance compressed air–water PCHE semicircle cross...

the aim of this paper is to enhance thermal performance of a microchannel heat sink by using nanoencapsulated phase change material (nepcm) slurry as a cooling fluid instead of pure fluid. a threedimensional model of a circular channel using water slurry of nepcm was developed. the results show a significant reduction in the mean fluid temperature along the channel and heat sink wall temperatu...
