With the additive added to the fuel and the coating of the tractor engine, the fuel consumption values were reduced, and agricultural production costs were tried to be reduced. On the other hand, exhaust emission values were also tried to be reduced and thus a more environmentally friendly production method was aimed to be adopted. For this reason, the cylinders of the tractor engine were coated with Al2O3 + 13%TiO2 metal powders mixed by mass using the plasma spray method. All experiments were repeated by attaching these coated pistons to the engine. The fuel used in the experiments was purchased from a commercial company and the nanoparticle (molybdenum) additive was added to the biodiesel at the rates of 25 ppm, 50 ppm, 100 ppm, and 200 ppm by mass. The fuel mixtures obtained in the coated and uncoated engine, when the engine is in the full throttle position, using the PTO load test unit at 1000 rpm, 1200 rpm, 1400 rpm, 1600 rpm, 1800 rpm, and 2000 rpm. It has been tested by loading at 2200 rpm, 2400 rpm, and 2600 rpm engine speeds. Code for the Official Testing of Agricultural and Forestry Tractor Performance standards were adhered to during all engine tests. The results showed that coating the cylinders and adding nanoparticles into biodiesel reduces the fuel consumption value, increases the exhaust gas temperature, decreases HC, CO, and PM emissions, and increases NOx emissions.","PeriodicalId":23125,"journal":{"name":"Thermal Science","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135440236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The simulation of shear flow in the micro-channel was performed with ANSYS FLUENT software. The 3-D and two-phase flow is simulated by choosing the volume of fluid model. In CFD analysis, water and air consist of two immiscible phases. In the calculations, if water is the first fluid and air is the second fluid, adjustments are made. At the beginning of the analysis, the channel was considered to be completely filled with air and the effect of gravity was ignored during the calculation. Water and air are considered Newtonian and incompressible fluids. In addition, laminar flow and steady-state calculations are made. It was found that the decrease in pressure drop increased with increasing distance between asperities (no-shear fraction). In the simulation results, approximately 14% of the velocity in the micro-channel axis was measured at the interface. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the applicability of the volume of fluid model in a hydrophobic micro-channel flow designed in 3-D using ANSYS Fluent CFD software.","PeriodicalId":23125,"journal":{"name":"Thermal Science","volume":"242 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135440748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the design of four-bar mechanisms, which intersect the given path curve at nine points, was dealt with in two stages. In the first step, the kinematic equations of the mechanism were used to implement the preliminary design based on the five parameters and closed-form solving. Thus, all the possible solution values have been reached with five parameters. In the second stage, which is the final design, the general algebraic form of coupler curve, which is dependent on the nine dimensions of the mechanism and of the sixth order, was obtained. An objective function de-rived from the obtained equation is subjected to an optimization process with nine-parameters by using the dimensions obtained from the preliminary design as an initial value, and the error between the actual and the desired path is minimized. The efficiency of the method is shown by numerical example made by choosing difficult paths to produce four-bar mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":23125,"journal":{"name":"Thermal Science","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135441007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents the results of homogeneity assessment of velocity distribution in the ducts and vertical cross-sections of the electrostatic precipitator of unit A1 at the Nikola Tesla thermal power plant in Obrenovac. The measurements confirmed that the reconstruction of the vertical chamber at the front of the precipitator, which was carried out during the overhaul in 2020, effectively solved the problem of the original asymmetric arrangement of the vertical flue gas ducts. Nevertheless, the analysis revealed poor homogeneity of the flow field through the chambers. Therefore, additional measures must be taken to increase the dust removal efficiency of the precipitator.","PeriodicalId":23125,"journal":{"name":"Thermal Science","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135502492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Almost all research focuses on 2 or 3 - dimensional analysis of flow in laterally unlimited enclosures, as parallel plates or coaxial cylinders. In technical practice, only limited enclosures exist. This paper presents numerical and real experimental results for the test chamber with ratio 4?2?1 in x, y and z direction, respectfully. The measurements were taken at fifteen different positions on the faces of the tank. Probes used are PT100 elements. As the chamber is limited in all directions, the results have shown strong influence of the lateral walls. The results are compared with the those obtained by IR camera.
