Abstract The aim of this study is to minimize minor losses in cap-end ports a pneumatic cylinder used pneumobil vehicle engine. Six geometry arrangements intake ports, including the currently version, were designed assuming conventional machining technology. Boundary conditions for analysis acquired from experimental measurement. air flow was analyzed by 3D stationary CFD ANSYS Fluent all desig...

A 1D3D–CFD coupled spray model is proposed in this work for the simulation of Diesel sprays under non-evaporative conditions and constant injection velocity in time. The basic idea of the model is to reduce the poor estimations of the gas velocity and droplets/gas relative velocity obtained with the standard 3D–CFD Eulerian–Lagrangian spray model, when coarse meshes are used. The coupling has b...

In order to predict the interior noise of the automobile in the low and middle frequency band in the design and development stage, the hybrid FE-SEA model of an automobile was created using hybrid FE-SEA method. The modal density was calculated using analytical method and finite element method; the damping loss factors of the structural and acoustic cavity subsystems were also calculated with a...

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a simulation tool, which uses powerful computer and applied mathematics to model fluid flow situations for the prediction of heat, mass and momentum transfer and optimal design in industrial processes. It is only in recent years that CFD has been applied in the food processing industry. This paper reviews the application of CFD in food processing industries...

The aeroelastic response of a bird-damaged fan stage at the inlet of a high-bypass ratio turbofan engine is examined using a combined CFD/CSD model. ANSYS CFX is used for the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) calculations combined with the ANSYS Multifield (MFX) solver that couples ANSYS CFX with ANSYS Mechanical APDL to perform aeroelastic response calculations. The damaged fan sector consists...

A research project is underway at NASA Glenn to produce computer software that can accurately predict ice growth under any meteorological conditions for any aircraft surface. This report will present results from the newest LEWICE, version 3.5. This program differs from previous releases in its ability to model mixed phase and ice crystal conditions such as those encountered inside an engine. I...

In this paper, Front Engine Accessory Drive (FEAD) system of automotive engine is modeled with ADAMS software. The model is validated using engine test data. It is then used to investigate the effect of design parameters on the system performance such as belt vibration and loads on the idlers. Three alternative layouts were developed in order to improve the performance of original EEAD system. ...
