Experimental Investigation of Fuel Drop Impact on Unheated and Heated Solid
The modelling of spray-wall interaction encountered in engine combustors relies heavily on studies of single drop impact on heated solid surfaces. In the present thesis, the impact of a single fuel drop on a hot, smooth ... -
Experimental Investigation Of Hypersonic Boundary Layer Modifications Due To Heat Addition And Enthalpy Variation Over A Cone Cylinder Configuration
(2010-12-01)Despite years of research in high speed boundary layer flow, there is still a need for insightful experiments to realize key features of the flow like boundary layer response to different conditions and related transition ... -
Experimental Investigation of Multielectron Bubbles in Liquid Helium
(2017-11-28)Multielectron bubbles (MEBs) are micron sized cavities in liquid helium that contain electrons confined within a nanometer thick layer on the inner surface of a bubble. These objects present a rich platform to study the ... -
Experimental Investigation of Novel High Shear Injector at Elevated Pressure Conditions: Hydrodynamics, Spray and Combustion Characterization
The stringent pollution and emission norms due to the present climate change and global warming have pushed industries to meet these norms and cut down their emission levels. In the same pipeline, the aviation industries ... -
Experimental Investigation Of Rheocasting Using Linear Electromagnetic Stirring
(2011-02-09)In several applications of casting, dendritic microstructure is not desirable as it results in poor mechanical properties. Enhancing fluid flow in the mushy zone by stirring is one of the means to suppress this dendritic ... -
Experimental investigation of syngas combustion using a novel two-stage combustor
In recent years, syngas has gained research interest as the focus shifts from fossil to renewable fuels. Syngas generated from biomass such as wood, agricultural residue, and paper is a promising fuel to achieve net-zero ... -
Experimental Investigation Of The Effect Of Nose Cavity On The Aerothermodynamics Of The Missile Shaped Bodies Flying At Hypersonic Mach Numbers
(2010-06-01)Hypersonic vehicles are exposed to severe heating loads during their flight in the atmosphere. In order to minimize the heating problem, a variety of cooling techniques are presently available for hypersonic blunt bodies. ... -
An Experimental Investigation of Transitional and Turbulent Channel Flow
This thesis is a comprehensive experimental investigation of transitional and turbulent channel flow in the Reynolds number range of Reτ = 55 − 1559. Towards this objective, a new channel flow facility was designed and ... -
Experimental Investigation on Hypersonic Flowfield Around Spiked Axisymmetric Bodies
Shock-shock interactions appearing around hypersonic vehicles are generally complex and often lead to high values of localized pressures and temperatures. This increase in temperature is associated with exceedingly high ... -
Experimental Investigations Into Fracture and Fatigue Behavior Of Plain and Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Acoustic Emission Technique
Concrete is the most widely used material in the world for construction of infrastructures and there are quite a few gaps in understanding its behaviour under different loads. Fracture in concrete occurs at pre-existing ... -
