Surface hydrophobicity is a significant characteristic of a surface which proves to be a deciding factor for applications in domains such as lubrication retention, wear reduction, self-cleaning properties, fluid drag ...

Non-conformal reverse micro electrical discharge machining (NC-RMEDM) is a variant of conventional RMEDM developed by the present authors wherein modification in the tool is carried out to generate different shapes of micro ...

Using molecular dynamics simulation (MDS), investigation was carried out to understand the mechanism of material removal during the formation of overlapping craters on surfaces obtained by micro electrical discharge machining ...

Functional surfaces have gained a lot of interest due to enhancement in water repellency for advanced engineering applications. In the present era, single and multi-level texturing is usually carried out on surfaces for ...

Crystallographic orientation and grain size for monocrystalline and polycrystalline materials respectively play a critical role in defining their mechanical behaviour under nanoindentation. To understand their effects on ...

Water-repellent surfaces have recently become an active area of research due to the desire to achieve self-cleaning, anti-sticking, and non-wetting properties on surfaces. These surfaces are required for different engineering ...

In the present work, the working of an electro discharge machining process was studied in which four factors, namely pulse on time, duty cycle, discharge current, and gap voltage, were considered to be the controllable ...

The growing energy demand is expected to be met with increased oil and gas production. Hence, there is a need to design high-performance industrial centrifugal pumps. Recent improvements in CFD are considered as a valuable ...

Effects of ribs on forced convection heat transfer and friction loss behaviors for laminar airflow through a constant heat flux channel are numerically investigated in the present work. Ribs are known to enhance the heat ...

Thermohydraulic performances in a square channel fitted with triangular prism, using air (Pr = 0.707) as working fluid are investigated numerically. The triangular prism is placed in a square channel. Influences of triangular ...
