The boundary condition is based on the off-lattice scheme with a polynomial interpolation which is used to reconstruct the curved or irregular wall boundary on the neighboring lattice nodes. This treatment improves the computational efficiency of the solution algorithm to handle complex geometries and provides much better accuracy comparing with the staircase approximation of bounce-back method. The efficiency and accuracy of the numerical approach presented are examined by computing the fluid flows around the geometries with curved or irregular walls. Three test cases considered herein for validating the present computations are the flow calculation around the NACA0012 wing section and through the two different porous media in various flow conditions. The study shows the present computational technique based on the implementation of the three-dimensional Lattice Boltzmann method with the employed curved wall boundary condition is robust and efficient for solving laminar flows with practical geometries and also accurate enough to predict the flow properties used for engineering designs.","PeriodicalId":14066,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering - Transactions C: Aspects","volume":"36 1","pages":"1381-1390"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79999313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given that the real separation occurs in three-dimension, the results of this study may be widely used in numerical aerodynamic studies for verification of new computational methods and they can be used as the reference results in this area. So a mechanism has been used which is simulated in two-dimensional physic with three degrees of freedom (x, y, θ) in the subsonic wind tunnel. A wing with NACA0012 airfoil as well as two circular disks at both ends (to simulate two-dimensional flow) have been utilized and separated from the upper surface of the test chamber. For parametric study, the tests have been experimented in the initial attack angles of -10 to +10 degrees with step of 5 degrees at velocity of 15 m/s and at velocities of 10, 15 and 20 m/s at zero degree initial angle of attack. Each test has been repeated 3 times and if there were any differences in the results, the number of repetitions have been increased. To extract the result, several cameras have been installed around the test chamber which take pictures with high-speed shooting. Then, using image processing techniques, x, y, and θ diagrams have been extracted over the time.","PeriodicalId":14066,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering - Transactions C: Aspects","volume":"70 1","pages":"1401-1407"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90728152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The FE results were validated compared with experimental results and then the FE model was used for implementing the set of simulations designed by Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array. Maximum punch force was determined and put into signal to noise (S/N) ratio and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) techniques to specify the importance and contribution of parameters. The results indicated that the friction coefficient has the most effect on maximum punch force and effects of the angular velocity and punch speed are not sensible. Results analysis represented that maximum punch force enhances by increasing the friction coefficient. Moreover, friction coefficient of 0.18, angular velocity of 0.11 rad/s and punch speed of 0.2 mm/s lead to the minimum punch force.","PeriodicalId":14066,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering - Transactions C: Aspects","volume":"111 1","pages":"920-925"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79632183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The grafted iron oxide nanoparticles were investigated by Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy. The effect of different concentrations of grafted nanoparticles on the PES nanofiltration membrane performance and properties was investigated by scanning electron microscopy, water content, pure water flux, pore size, permeability flux, rejection and tensile strength. The water content was enhanced by incorporation of nanoparticles into the membrane matrix from 72.04 to 74.75%. It was observed that pure water flux (2.68 to 8.71 L/m2.h), mean pore size (2 to 6 nm) and permeability flux (0.8 to 4 L/m2.h) improved with loading of nanoparticles into the membrane matrix. The results revealed that utilization of grafted iron oxide nanoparticles in the membrane matrix led to improvement of rejection from 53.98 to 89.19% for membrane filled with 0.05% wt. nanoparticles.

For an appropriate heat exchangers rating design to meet a specified duty, it's better to consider each stream flow separately. Using the hydraulic network principals, a set of the correlations for calculating different stream flow rates in the cross and window area, leakage from tube-bundle and shell-baffle bypass are suggested. By the presented correlations, the actual flow direction and different stream flow rates of shell-side fluid for calculating of shell-side heat transfer and pressure drop in different regions between adjacent baffles has been taken into account. Also, the effects of each stream flow in each baffle section on the overall heat transfer coefficient (HTC) and pressure drop could be investigated. The comparison results of using these correlations and results of published values, like Bell-Delaware method and Kern correlations, is reasonable, which can be used in the optimum design of shell and tube heat exchangers with segmental baffles. Also, according to the results, the cross flow stream show much better heat transfer performance with lower pressure drop behavior than window stream at the same mass flow rates.

All variations are done with respect to input and output reflection loss considerations. Analytical expression for the gain of the proposed DA is presented and design considerations for electrical funnel are discussed. Based on two dimensional power combining a wide band DA is simulated using TSMC 0.18 CMOS model in ADS which consumes 49.42 mw from 1.2V power supply.
