The experimental friction factor and Nusselt number data for laminar flow through a circular duct having integral helical rib roughness and fitted with centre-cleared twisted-tape have been presented. Predictive friction ...

The experimental friction factor and Nusselt number data for laminar flow through a circular duct having integral transverse ribs and fitted with centre-cleared twisted-tape have been presented. Predictive friction factor ...

In the present work we numerically investigate the oscillations of a sessile conducting droplet in the contact and non-contact modes under an alternating electric field. We show that the oscillations in the non-contact ...

In several chemical and space industries, small bubbles are desired for efficient interaction between the liquid and gas phases. In the present study, we show that non-uniform electric field with appropriate electrode ...

A hybrid thermal management system for lithium-ion batteries, with convectional and Phase Change Material (PCM) based cooling is proposed. The thermal performance of the battery pack during the constant heat generation ...

In the present configuration, GTL replaces diesel, and biogas is used as gaseous fuel in the dual fuel (DF) operations. The effects of this substitution have been evaluated from the perspectives of second-law of thermodynamics. ...

In the present work CNG and enriched biogas (93% CH4 by vol.) have been experimentally compared for performance and emission characteristics in a dual fuel diesel engine. The diesel is used as the pilot fuel, which is ...

Hydrogen fuelled IC engines (H2ICEs) have been considered as one of the most promising systems for pollution free transportations and their performance and combustion merits have been extensively discussed in the literature. ...

In-cylinder pressure-based combustion descriptors have been widely used for engine combustion control and spark advance scheduling. Although these combustion descriptors have been extensively studied for gasoline-fueled ...

Varying solar radiation during the partial cloudy condition may lead to the frequent switch ON/OFF events of the electrolyzer and fuel cell components in microgrid. The transient operation can ultimately lead to early ...
