Coupled Heat Transfer Processes in Enclosed Horizontal Heat Generating Rod Bundles
(2018-03-24)In a nuclear fuel cask, the heat generating spent fuel rods are packed in a housing and the resulting bundle is placed inside a cask of thick outer shell made of materials like lead or concrete. The cask presents a wide ... -
Development Of A Single Cylinder SI Engine For 100% Biogas Operation
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-05-21)This work concerns a systematic study of IC engine operation with 100% biogas as fuel (as opposed to the dual-fuel mode) with particular emphasis on operational issues and the quest for high efficiency strategies. As a ... -
The Dynamics Of Erosion Of Gradient-Zone In Solar Ponds

Experimental And Numerical Studies On Flame Stability And Optimization Of A Compact Trapped Vortex Combustor
(2013-03-27)A new Trapped Vortex Combustor (TVC) concept has been studied for applications such as those in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) as it offers potential for superior flame stability and low pressure loss. Flame stability is ... -
Laminar Conjugate Natural Convection And Surface Radiation In Horizontal Annuli
(2010-07-29)Numerical studies of two-dimensional laminar conjugate natural convection flow and heat transfer in horizontal annuli formed between inner heat generating solid cylinders and outer isothermal circular boundary are performed ... -
Numerical Simulations Of Two-Phase Reacting Flow In A Cavity Combustor
(2013-05-28)In the present work, two phase reacting flow in a single cavity Trapped Vortex Combustor (TVC) is studied at atmospheric conditions. KIVA-3V, numerical program for simulating three dimensional compressible reacting flows ... -
Numerical Study Of Heat Transfer From Pin Fin Heat Sink Using Steady And Pulsated Impinging Jets
(2008-01-25)The work reported in this thesis is an attempt to enhance heat transfer in electronic devices with the use of impinging air jets on pin-finned heat sinks. The cooling per-formance of electronic devices has attracted increased ... -
Numerical Study Of Laminar And Turbulent Mixed Convection In Enclosures With Heat Generating Components
(2010-07-29)The problem of laminar and turbulent conjugate mixed convection flow and heat transfer in shallow enclosures with a series of block-like heat generating components is studied numerically for a Reynolds number range of zero ... -
Single Cavity Trapped Vortex Combustor Dynamics : Experiments & Simulations
(2011-04-06)Trapped Vortex Combustor (TVC) is a relatively new concept for potential use in gas turbine engines addressing ever increasing demands of high efficiency, low emissions, low pressure drop, and improved pattern factor. This ... -
Stability Of Double-Diffusive Finger Convection In A Non-Linear Time Varying Background State
(2010-09-06)Convection set up in a fluid due to the presence of two components of differing diffusivities is known as double diffusive convection. Double diffusive convection is observed in nature, in oceans, in the formation of certain ... -
