The present study concerns experimental and numerical investigation of the combustion of low-calorific value syngas in an optically accessible reverse flow combustion chamber. Several modes of operation are investigated ...

Solving the world’s energy crisis, and mitigating anthropogenic climate change, requires efficiently harnessing non-polluting renewable energy. Organic Rankine cycle (ORC) can be useful in this regard. ORC is Rankine cycle ...

Coupling of spray with the coherent structures of a highly turbulent flow has been a long-standing problem especially in the context of liquid fuel delivery systems in gas turbine combustors. The atomizer in a gas turbine ...

This thesis presents a geometric approach for determining the orientation-preserving disassembly paths of polyhedral assembly components. Exact disassembly path determination of the components is essential because the ...

Mechanical joining of sheets has many advantages over other joining methods in terms of wide variety combination of similar, dissimilar and non-metallic material sheet joining. In conventional SPR joining, the rivet and ...

The swimming motion of fishes have long fascinated scientists and engineers. Over the past few decades, researchers have studied physical models mimicking the tail beat of fishes in an effort to extract key physical ...

Unsteady flapping foil based thrusters have emerged as ideal candidates for enabling propulsion in bioinspired and bio-mimetic devices such as autonomous underwater vehicles. To a large extent, this emergence has been ...

A centrifugal compressor is a mechanical device that helps to achieve higher pressure ratios at lower mass flow rates. It is used in many applications such as turbochargers, cruise missiles, and turbojet engines where ...

Identification of the dynamics of a complex robotic system accurately from first principles is challenging and often infeasible. Simplifying assumptions commonly made in modeling such systems often restrict their scope and ...

Potential of using supercritical CO2 (sCO2) as a working fluid for the next generation of thermal power plants is being actively pursued by researchers across the world. CO2 has a critical temperature of 31.1 °C and a ...
