In this work, studies have been conducted on sprays of methanol and its emulsions with diesel towards assessing the potential of methanol as an alternative fuel for IC engines. Methanol can be used in compression ignition ...

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 ...

Reduction in noise radiated from the IC engines is needed to meet the ever increasingly stringent noise regulations. The unmuffled exhaust noise of an IC engine is the biggest contributor to the overall engine noise. ...

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 ...

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 ...
