The Reynolds number is the dimensionless number used to characterize the flow of the nanofluid to enhance the heat transfer rate. The current study, the effects of Reynolds number on 0.01% volume concentrations of the aluminium oxide (Al2O3) nanoparticles in the ethylene glycol through the flow in the pipe are investigated. In the study, ethylene glycol is considered as the base fluid. The thermophysical characteristics of the Al2O3/EG nanofluid were determined in the current work using a cylindrical copper pipe with an 8 mm diameter and 400 mm length. The heat transfer coefficient (HTC) and Nusselt number were calculated for the Reynolds number varied from 200 to 1200, considering nanofluid inlet temperature of 298 K and constant heat flux at the wall surface of pipe 1100 W/m2 K. The findings showed that the HTC and Nusselt number of the nanofluid flow in the pipe increased as the Reynolds number increased. Further, an exponential correlation was proposed for variation of the Reynolds number with HTC and Nusselt number for the obtained results. ANSYS Fluent software was used for the analysis of the nanofluid flow though pipe.","PeriodicalId":14391,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Vehicle Structures and Systems","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135251817","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}

Finally, the study uses the actual lane simulation to verify the three perspectives of transverse control, longitudinal control and joint control respectively. It shows that the longitudinal control and lateral control are well realized with the improved adaptive PID model control effect at 8km, 15km and 20km per hour. Meanwhile, maximum trajectory error of the combined direction and transverse dominate is always lower than 0.5m at vehicle speeds of 8km/h, 16km/h and 20km/h in the integrated road environment and the combined longitudinal speed and transverse angle control performance is good in the curves.

During the intelligent assembly process, robots need to carry out three key processes: product information modelling, assembly route planning and assembly sequence planning. The experiment examines assembly sequence planning and assembly route planning. In light of the deficiencies of the current assembly sequence planning technique, we propose a new approach, which is difficult to calculate, the experiment proposes to introduce the DPSO algorithm into the assembly sequence planning model. Meanwhile, to prevent the model from entering local optimal, the experiment adds disturbance operation on the basis of DPSO. That is, a part is randomly selected to be inserted into another position in the disassembly sequence and at the same time, the rest of the parts are moved to form a new disassembly sequence to update the particle's location. In addition to the assembly sequence planning, the experiment aims to improve the planning path obtained by the existing RRT algorithm, which is not smooth enough, that is, to simplify the installation path by reducing the change of direction. The simulation experiment findings demonstrate that the addition of the disturbance to DPSO algorithm successfully prevents the model from entering a local optimum state. The moving distance of the parts before path optimization is 52.0012mm and the number of moving direction changes is 8 times, while the moving distance of the parts after path optimization is reduced to 42.8094mm and the moving direction is changed only 2 times.","PeriodicalId":14391,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Vehicle Structures and Systems","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135251811","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}

Lithium batteries, as batteries for new energy vehicles, its quality directly affects the safety of vehicles and mileage is also the core data that people consider when choosing vehicles one. Therefore, the research uses big data to predict and test the battery life and failure of new energy vehicles. When predicting the battery life, the improved P-GN model has a good prediction effect and the model reaches the convergence state only three iterations and converged to 0.83. The optimal fitness converges at the beginning of iteration, reaching the optimal value of 1.946 after only four iterations. The error between the predicted value and the actual value of the remaining cruising range is within an acceptable range. When the weather condition is good, the prediction effect of the remaining cruising range is excellent and the fluctuation of the prediction difference is small. When the weather conditions are severe, the model can still predict the cruising range of the battery pack normally. When performing fault detection on the battery pack, the fault detection system can accurately and quickly detect the type of fault and effectively analyse the inconsistency of the battery and be accurate to the single faulty battery. When analysing the single faulty battery, it is proposed that the fault detection system can accurately diagnose the fault in the test battery, which not only takes a short time but also has good feasibility.","PeriodicalId":14391,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Vehicle Structures and Systems","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135251994","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}

However, kinetic energy is converted into thermal energy which reduces the wastage of energy. To avoid this condition regenerative braking scheme has been employed in electric vehicles. This paper proposes a simple method of braking with energy regeneration using BLDC motor for electric vehicles (EVs). Regenerative braking is a procedure in which energy is recovered while brakes are applied. Hence slowing the car, kinetic energy of the car is converted into electrical energy which in turn is used to top up the battery. Due to these, electric vehicles can run for a longer time and extended range without the need of being plugged into an external charger. Usage of brushless DC motor (BLDC) is recommended for implementing the regenerative braking scheme where it can improve efficiency and can extend the driving distance of electric vehicles.","PeriodicalId":14391,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Vehicle Structures and Systems","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135251993","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}

This study looks at the performance, combustion and emission parameters of a dual fuel compression ignition engine running on WCO biodiesel with a hydrogen additive at atmospheric condition. The parametric study include variation in engine load (0-18 kg) and hydrogen flow rate (3, 6, 9 LPM).
