Development Of An Activated Carbon+ HFC 134a Adsorption Refrigeration System
(2009-04-01)
The demands facing the refrigeration industry are minimal usage of conventional energy sources for compression and avoidance of ozone depleting substances. One of the approaches to combat these issues is the use of thermally ...
Transport Phenomena In Laser Surface Alloying: A Numerical Investigation
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-08-24)
A comprehensive, transient three-dimensional model of a single-pass laser surface alloying process has been developed and used to examine the heat, momentum and species transport phenomena. A numerical study is performed ...
Modular Kinematic Analysis Of Planar Linkages
(2009-04-24)
This thesis has developed an efficient methodology for automatic kinematic analysis of planar linkages using the concept of modular kinematics. Unlike conventional general purpose kinematic analysis packages where each joint ...
Computational Modelling Of Heat Transfer In Reheat Furnaces
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-08-24)
Furnaces that heat metal parts (blooms) prior to hot-working processes such as rolling or forging are called pre-forming reheat furnaces. In these furnaces, the fundamental idea is to heat the blooms to a prescribed ...
A Finite Element Investigation Of Brittle Fracture During Spherical Nanoindentation Of Thin Hard Films
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-12-14)
Hard ceramic films of micrometric thickness deposited on a soft metallic substrate have ushered in a new era in the fabrication of structural, tribological, microelectronic and optical components. The mechanical performance ...
An Experimental Study Of Instabilities In Unsteady Separation Bubbles
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-06-11)
The present thesis is an experimental study of some aspects of unsteady two dimensional boundary layers subject to adverse pressure gradient. An adverse pressure gradient usually leads to boundary layer separation or an ...
The Effect Of Viscosity On The Erosion Of Gradient- Zone In A Laboratory Solar Pond
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-08-24)
Double diffusive phenomena occur in many natural systems and in a variety of engineering applications, such as solar ponds. In a solar pond, the erosion of gradient zone due to convection and diffusion is the main cause ...
