Factors Leading to Major Casting Defects and their Influence on Productivity of Foundry
In recent times, with the constant utilization of natural resources, every manufacturing unit is turning towards a lean approach. Foundries are no exception to this. Although the fundamental responsibility of a foundry is simply to convert raw metal into a useful casting, it is imperative on their part that the output confirms with the quality […]
Hydrodynamics and Heat Transfer through Corrugated Channels A Review
The continually rising energy consumption pushes researchers and engineers to create more effective energy systems to better use energy sources. In order to manufacture more compact heat exchangers, which are used in air conditioning systems, chemical reactors, heat power plants and others, it is important to improve the heat transfer rate with an appropriate pressure […]
CFD Analysis for Heat Transfer Enhancement of a Corrugated Plate Heat Exchanger using Different Corrugated Channel Configurations
The flow properties of heat transfer across such corrugated channels are very distinct from parallel plate channels. The primary flow direction is parallel to the waviness of the channel of the corrugated channel, although the local flow direction is still changed due to the waviness of the channel. By flow recirculation, separation and re attachment, […]
Thermal Performance of a Plate Fin Heat Sink with Half Round Pins using CFD
ance towards high performance and miniaturization measurements, heat dissipation problems have become a major obstacle to their growth. Moreover, the conventional method of air cooling did not fulfil the heat dissipation criterion of high density. Many scientists have researched the thermal efficiency of heat sinks, but the effects of half round pins on plate fin […]
Numerical Investigation of Solar Air Heater Duct using Broken‘S’ Shaped Ribs Roughness on Absorber Plate
The solar air heater has an important place among solar heat collectors. It can be used as sub systems in many systems meant for the utilization of solar energy. Possible applications of solar air heaters are drying or curing of agricultural products, space heating for comfort regeneration of dehumidifying agents, seasoning of timber, curing of […]
