This was investigated for four twist ratios (Y= 2.3, 2.9, 3.5, and 4.1) The obtained results show that the mean Nusselt number and the mean friction factor in the tube with Plain, Perforated, perforated with notch type twisted tapes inserts increase with decreasing twist ratios (Y). Subsequently, an empirical correlation also was formulated to match with experimental results with ±4.22% variation for the Nusselt number and 5.59% for the friction factor. Also, the experimental results show higher values of heat transfer for perforated with notch type insert for higher values of Re. And shows lower values of friction factor for higher values of Re. Maximum F is observed for the insert with perforation with notch having Y=2.3. The average F increases 5 to 7 times than that of the plain tube and the heat transfer enhancement ranges from 2.9 to 3.3 times that of the plain tube over the range of Re 10000 to 16000 with air as working fluid.","PeriodicalId":277472,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Thermal Systems","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127197387","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}

Linear FEA is performed on the notches to evaluate stress concentration factor (Kt) and validated using Roark’s formulae. For the three specimens, nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA) is performed to evaluate local plastic stresses at the notch root and compared using notch stress strain conversion (NSSC) rules viz., Neuber’s rule and Equivalent strain energy density (ESED) approach. It is found that Neuber’s rule predicts better results of plastic stresses for flat specimens, whereas ESED predicts better results for cylindrical specimen.","PeriodicalId":277472,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Thermal Systems","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117016585","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}

Synthetic jet has been looking as one of the challenging technology which can replace almost all traditional electronic cooling system very effectively. Huge amount of work has been done yet and still in progress to understand the flow of synthetic jet and to improve its performance. The review of experimental and computational study has been discussed. The experimental study consists of the formation and evolution with different stages in flow field. Also, it includes the parametric study of synthetic jet; in which effect of most of the geometric and operational parameters on the performance of the synthetic jet has studied. The computational study using commercial software’s has been explained in this paper. It has been observed that the flow characteristics of synthetic jet are different in the near field as compared to continuous jet.","PeriodicalId":277472,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Thermal Systems","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114527413","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}

Pitch control software will allow the wind turbine to capture Optimum energy in the real-time conditions. When the velocity of the wind is low to medium the turbine will be allowed to capture maximum amount of energy by pitching the blades at optimum angles, which will obtain maximum co-efficient of power. If the wind speed increases such that the power captured by the rotor approaches the rated power capacity, then the pitch of the blade would be controlled to maintain the desired power by decreasing the aerodynamic efficiency. This is possible by pitching the blades to feather such that it will generate the desired output power. At higher wind speed the wind turbine can be controlled by pitching the blade to feather i.e. to shed some power by pitching the blades to operate at lower power coefficient. The method of pitching to feather to control the aerodynamic power P captured will also be implemented.","PeriodicalId":277472,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Thermal Systems","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125844840","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 work presents a wide experimental study on novel combined V-shaped bluff body configuration in a plain duct at different positions. Isothermal pressure drop tests and heat transfer experiments under uniform heat flux conditions have been carried out. The Reynolds number ranges from 100-100000. The results indicate that in presence of V-shaped bluff body, heat transfer in the duct is increased by around 5%-15%. The increase in heat transfer is related to the eddy formation downstream of the V-shaped bluff body. Heat transfer augmentation and friction loss increased with combined effect of V-shaped bluff body configuration. Experimental results indicate that the use of V-shaped bluff body the duct can prominently increase the heat transfer performance.","PeriodicalId":277472,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Thermal Systems","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128451468","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}
