Title | : | Optimization of Engine Cylinder Fins for Varying Geometry and Material |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | B.Bheemaraju |
Abstract: The Engine cylinder is one of the major automobile components, which is subjected to high temperature variations and thermal stresses. Fins are provided on the cylinder to increase the rate of heat transfer to cool the cylinder. It is helpful to know the heat dissipation inside the cylinder by doing thermal analysis on the engine cylinder fins, The principle implemented in this project is to increase the heat dissipation rate by using the invisible working fluid, nothing but air. It is known that by increasing the surface area the heat dissipation rate can be increased. Designing of such a large complex engine is very difficult. The main purpose of using these cooling fins is to cool the engine cylinder by air..........

Title | : | The Performance Analisys of Cascade Refrigeration System with and Without Phase Change Material |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | R.Hanuma Naik || K.Ramachandra Manohar |
Abstract: As the technology is developing in the field of refrigeration and air conditioning, remarkable comfort and saving are achieved. Maintaining the required low temperature and the cost is low. The main aim is to improve & extend the self life. The low temperature is obtained mostly by vapour compression refrigeration cycle, but it has its own limitations in producing low temperature. Hence for low temperature production multiple compression binary vapour cycle is used. The concept is that the cooling produced in first cycle evaporator is used to cool the condenser of second cycle, which reduces the cooling capacity in condenser and enables to produce very low temperature for various cold storage applications. Further the low temperature side cooling is given to a Phase Change Material (PCM) and the cooling is stored in PCM, this cooling is sustained up to 20 hours without operation of cycle, thus maintaining the low temperature of the products even without continuous power supply. In this project a binary vapour cycle is designed to produce a temperature of -200C.

Title | : | Thermal analysis and optimization of heat sink |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Shashidhar N S || Balaji D Tandle |
Abstract: To reduce the temperature of the components, various cooling techniques such as providing thermal vias under the device, using a fan to facilitate forced convection or using a heat sink (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) are explored to dissipate heat from the devices to the external ambient. This paper shows how an optimized heat sink design can be deployed effectively to bring down the temperature of devices within the system. The heat sink must be designed to meet space constraints and yet offer adequate surface area for heat transfer to minimize the temperature rise of the devices. Heat sinks with different parameters like fin configuration, fin width, fin height and number of fins (Table I) are analyzed. Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 show the types of heat sinks evaluated in the study

Abstract: A sun beam is transparent but it is having full of energy responsible for circulation of air, weather and all life is possible only under the sun. The total sun radiation reaches the earth may goes back to universe, if not absorbed and retained by the atmosphere due to green house effect. Solar water heating systems are now being used widely for domestic and commercial applications. Because of geographically tropical and also eco friendly, solar energy has to be developed further technically, solar energy is the best choice over the other unconventional energy sources. Solar energy absorption and retention requires technical skills for the development of the equipment. Black body radiation, green house effect by double glass system with recirculation of air is being planned to develop the equipment...........

Title | : | Conjugate Heat Transfer Studies of Milling Cutter Inserts |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | N C Swapna Sri || Bachamoni Mahesh || Dr.A S Panwalkar |
Abstract: Milling cutter inserts during cutting operation are subjected to high stresses and high temperatures. The power consumed during cutting operation is transformed into heat at insert tips. Part of the heat flows inside the inserts rising high temperature spots. Due to high temperatures prevailed over a long period affects the life of the inserts. Therefore it is necessary to estimate the temperature distribution inside the metal region of the insert. In some cases it is necessary to provide cooling for the cutter tips. In such cases combined mode of convective and conductive heat transfer takes place. For such application CFD techniques are very useful in predicting the temperature distribution pattern on the insert...........

Country | : | India |
Authors | : | S.Veeramani || D V Sreekanth || K.Suresh Babu |
Abstract: Conventional Thermal Power Plants have technologically proven systems and worldwide are used for power generation. The coal based plants have the disadvantage of pollution because of ash handling problems wherever the power plants are located. The overall cycle efficiency of standalone thermal power plants are limited to around 40 percent. In order to improve over all plant efficiency combined cycle power plants have been found to give a shape world over. As many Natural Gas resources have been discovered world over, they have been considered as a commercial fuel in many applications. The utilization of Natural gas in a topping gas turbine cycle followed by a steam turbine cycle using a waste heat recovery boiler has been found to improve the efficiency of the overall power plants. These kind of combined cycle power plants have been installed and are in operation............

Abstract: The direct injection type of diesel engines are important choice for heavy duty applications as on-road, off- road, marine, and industrial usage particularly, because of their high break thermal efficiency. Based on the regulations of exhaust emissions and fuel economy the new combustion technology development is introducing to improve the efficiency of the diesel engine. we have improved the performance of the diesel engine and reduced the exhaust emissions with reducing of its cost of the fuel by development of porous media (PM) combustion technology for different fuel blends in this paper. The Silicon Carbide porous media (PM) is placed beneath of the fuel injector inside of the combustion chamber for homogeneous combustion. We determined performance and emission characteristics of diesel engine at 80% diesel,15% karanja oil and 5% additives. In this research work ethanol, n-butanal, and diethyl either are considered as additives. The simulation work is also carried out by using the modified KIVA-3V code on performance and emission characteristics of diesel engine combustion with porous media..

Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr. V. Naga Prasad Naidu || Dr. R. Rama Chandra || Mr. P. Hussain Babu |
Abstract: In recent years the search for alternative fuels has become inevitable due to fast depletion of fuels and huge demand for diesel in transport, power and agricultural sectors. One of the best alternatives is Bio-Diesels obtained from different Vegetable oils. The present study focuses on Evaluation of performance and emission characteristics of a single cylinder four stroke diesel engine with Mahua biodiesel blended with diesel in various proportions like B0, B05, B10, B15, B20 and B25. The performance is compared with diesel fuel, on the basis of brake specific fuel consumption, brake thermal efficiency, exhaust gas temperature and emissions of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen. This study reveals that the performance of the engine with Mahua biodiesel blends differs marginally from diesel fuel and hydrocarbon emissions are less than diesel. It is also observed that the Mahua biodiesel B20 can be used as a fuel for diesel engine without any engine modification

Abstract: In the present era there is an immense use of Austenitic stainless steels, Extra deep drawn steel and Ni-super alloys. Mainly we find their applications in automobile industries, aircrafts, house-hold appliances etc. In the proposed project, thermal properties like thermal conductivity, heat capacity and radiation shape factor of austenitic stainless steel (deformed material), extra deep drawn steel and nickel super alloy (tools) will be calculated. These experiments are conducted from 100 o C to 400oC to calculate these thermal properties. In the proposed project also predicts the thermal conductivity of the above mentioned materials using Artificial neural networks. Better agreement of predicted effective thermal conductivity values are obtained by using artificial neural networks with the experimental results. All the experiments are carried out in the research lab at GRIET.
