Heat recuperation is often used to improve the overall cycle efficiency of gas turbines. However, generally in small- scale gas turbines, it has a negative effect on turbine inlet temperature, pressure ratio and pressure drops, and thus decreases the overall cycle efficiency. In this paper, a thermodynamic model is performed to evaluate recovered heat as a function of heat exchanger effecti...

background and objective: cerebral arteriovenous malformation (cavm) hemodynamic is disease condition, results changes in the flow and pressure level in cerebral blood vessels. measuring flow and pressure without catheter intervention along the vessel is big challenge due to vessel bifurcations/complex bifurcations in arteriovenous malformation patients. the vessel geometry in cavm patients are...

In the present study, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are used to predict the pressure drop value (Δp ) of Al2O3-water nanofluid in flat tubes. Δp  is predicted taking into account five input variables: tube flattening (H), inlet volumetric flow rate (Qi  ), wall heat flux (qnw  ), nanoparticle volume fraction (Φ) and nanoparticle diameter (dp ...

multidimensional modelling of open-cycle process of om355 engine was developed. calculations for computational mesh were carried out. the results of the model were validated by experimentally measured in-cylinder pressure and the good agreement between calculations and measurements approved the trustworthy of numerical code. results included pressure, temperature, emission and rate of heat rele...
