Investigation of Wear Behavior of Rice Husk Filled Cotton Fiber Reinforced Polyester Composites
Usage of natural fiber reinforced polymeric composites has drastically increased in recent years for industrial applications. In this investigation, Composite specimens were prepared with polyester resin, cotton polyester resin, and cotton polyester resin with rice husk filler. The hand layup method was used to prepare composite sheets with specially prepared steel die. The specimens were […]
Influence of Blanching on the Drying Characteristics of Convective Hot Air Dried Aerial Yam
A research on the drying characteristics of aerial yam using convectional hot air was done. The raw unblanched and blanched samples were dried using convectional hot air. Fan speed, temperature and slice thickness were varied to determine the change in moisture content. The Fourier transform infrared FTIR and scanning electron microscopy SEM were done to […]
Use of Hybrid Nanofluid to Increase Heat Transfer Performance of Double Pipe Heat Exchanger using CFD
In present work, forced convection of a turbulent flow of, Al2O3 water nanofluid and Al Al2O3 water hybrid nanofluid a new advanced nanofluid composited of Al and Al2O3 nanoparticles through a double pipe heat exchanger is numerically analyzed. The solid model of the double pipe heat exchanger is created in design modular and analyzed by […]
Position Repeatability Test for Knife Gate Valves with Electro Pneumatic Positioners
Repeatability is an important characteristic of the measurement of faithfulness of the response of a system over a period of time. Be it mechanical or electronic equipment, over a certain period of time, there is a certain amount of hysteresis that sets in which renders the system incapable of carrying out its operation with the […]
Failsafe Revival Test for Knife Gate Valves with Electro Pneumatic Positioners
Processing applications work on the principle of metered flow of working media to ensure accurate execution of the processes in the further stages. These may include food or raw material processing units that are highly concerned about the quantity of flow media passing through a given section in a given period of time. Foe specific […]
