In this paper, numerical study of forced convection heat transfer in a square cavity with inlet and outlet slots and hot obstacle with and without porous medium was investigated. The walls of cavity in addition of inlet and outlet ports are thermally insulated and the obstacle is maintained at constant temperature. A lattice Boltzmann model for incompressible flow in porous media and Brinkman F...

a newly developed heavy duty diesel engine in dual fuel mode of operation has been studied in detail. the main fuel would be natural gas and diesel oil as pilot injection. the importance and effects of mixture preparation and formation through ports, valves and in cylinder flow field with different swirl ratio and tumble on diesel combustion phenomena is an accepted feature which has been studi...

The effect of adding extra inlet channels on the operation of the Stairmand Cyclone has been investigated numerically. The Reynolds stress model (RSM) and Eulerian-Lagrangian method were used to investigate the complex turbulent flow and cyclone performance. The impacts of one-way coupling and two-way coupling models on the cyclone efficiency and the calculation of cut-off size diameter were ex...

A surface tension driven micropump harnessing the pressure difference generated by drops of different curvature radii proves to be a simple and attractive passive method to drive fluid flow in microdevices. Here we observed the appearance of backward flow when the initial sizes of the droplets at the inlet and outlet ports are similar. To explain this phenomenon several hypotheses have been inv...

This paper introduces conceptual design principles for a novel class of adaptive structures that provide both flow regulation and control. While of general applicability, these design principles, which revolve around the idea of using the instabilities and elastically nonlinear behaviour of post-buckled panels, are exemplified through a case study: the design of a shape-adaptive air inlet. The ...

A CGS is of the most important parts in natural gas transmission pipelines in which the high inlet natural gas (NG) pressure is reduced to much lower value by employing a throttling valve. This pressure drop causes hydrate forming, preventing stable NG flow through the pipeline. To prevent hydrate forming, NG is usually preheated by heaters which burns remarkable amount of NG. In this work, a n...

The 8255A programmable peripheral interface PPI) implements a general-purpose I/O interface to connect peripheral equipment to a microcomputer system bus. The core’s functional configuration is designed by VHDL code and designed input signal (Test bench) for PPI 8255, which is generated by VHDL code. Simulated result is verified for one 8bit Peripheral Ports Ports A, three programming modes for...

Three vortex-generator configurations were installed aft of the inlet throat on the centerbody of a Mach 3 . 0 mixed-compression inlet. The three were about equal in im­ proving diffuser pressure recovery and all produced significant, although unequal, reduc­ tions in distortion. Only the most densely spaced configuration generated vortices that dissipated before reaching the compressor face. V...

Method of measurement of pressure drop in ports of hermetic compressor under discharge pressure is presented. ?,22 gas at 298 psig and 215QF condition pumped by hermetic compressor is directed into flow bench type pressure chamber where variety of orifices is installed and pressure drop is measured directly. Compressor and flow bench are installed in series on standard calorimeter which measure...
