Currently, there is a lack of usable data that could help to predict the magnitude of multiphase flow induced vibration in pipe inclined at various angles. The objective of this paper is to determine the magnitude of vibration in two-phase flow in pipe at inclination angle of 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90°. Air to water superficial velocity ratio of 1.25 was selected for this purpose because it is the value that causes the flow to change abruptly from slug to churn flow and vice versa, depending on the orientation angle. The flow conduit is selected to be a stainless-steel pipe with an internal diameter of 52.5 mm (2 inches). The vibrations are monitored at the pipe section of length 38D from the inlet. Maximum longitudinal vibrations were observed in 0° orientation. 60° encountered the maximum amplitude vibrational frequency in transverse direction but being at a higher frequency. The suggested model can be used to evaluate the FSI impact of unstable vibrations for any piping orientation and diameter.","PeriodicalId":37460,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Research in Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141013246","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}

Arifin, Mohd Azli Salim, S. Herawan","doi":"10.37934/arfmts.116.2.112130","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.37934/arfmts.116.2.112130","url":null,"abstract":"To improve the physicochemical properties of biodiesel, researchers have been mixing pure biodiesel with neat diesel to produce blended fuels with certain blending ratios. However, one of the issues when combining ordinary diesel with biodiesel is the formation of deposits. In this study, the hot surface deposition test (HSDT) method was employed to investigate the effect of the mixing ratio on the deposition of diesel fuel (DF) and its blends with Malaysian palm oil biodiesel (B10-B50). The accumulated fuel deposits produced by the test fuels up to ND=16000 droplets were studied based on visual inspection and the use of a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to study the deposits’ composition. Generally, the higher the blend ratio, the more deposits were formed on the hot plate. Furthermore, a greater mass of deposits was produced during the wet condition (timp=3 seconds) test compared to that of the dry condition (timp=7 seconds) test. Deposits’ distribution area produced by the B30, B40, and B50 fuels were larger and appeared to be oily/greasy. Meanwhile, deposits produced by DF, B10, and B20 seem to be dry. The radius of the solid deposit was also larger during the wet condition test. For dry condition test at droplet ND=16000, the mass of deposit produced was 3.7mg (4mm radius) for DF, 3.9mg (5mm radius) for B10, 17.1mg (9mm radius) for B20, 24.0mg (9mm radius) for B30, 25.1mg (9mm radius) for B40, and 28.8mg (7mm radius) for B50. On the other hand, for the wet condition test, the mass of the deposit generated was 4.4mg (4mm radius) for DF, 8.9mg (7mm radius) for B10, 20.4mg (11mm radius) for B20, 31.1mg (13mm radius) for B30, 62.4mg (15mm radius) for B40, and 58.2mg (13mm radius) for B50, respectively. Additionally, the SEM analysis showed that the deposits’ composition for each test fuel primarily consists of carbon (>65%), with relatively lower oxygen concentration (<35%). The dry and wet condition also has a significant impact on the various deposits’ morphology.","PeriodicalId":37460,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Research in Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141013569","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 distribution of surface pressure plays a crucial role in determining the performance of a delta wing. The outcomes of this research will be beneficial for stability assessment and enhancing performance during the aircraft design phase. The paper illustrates the impact of high supersonic Mach numbers, angles of incidence, and specific locations along the three-dimensional delta wing. Strips located at various span-wise positions are treated independently based on a strip theory, which when combined with hypersonic similitude, results in a piston theory. It is important to note that the current theory is only valid when the shock wave remains attached. Viscosity and wave reflection effects have not been taken into account in this particular study. The parameters considered in the study are the Mach numbers (M) in the range 4 to 7. Furthermore, consideration is given to the Angle of Incidence (θ), which varies between 5° to 25°. Along the Wings chord from 0.2 to 1, different points (h) record the pressure results (P2/P1). For numerical simulations, CFD was used, and simulated results at hypersonic Mach numbers matched well with analytical results.","PeriodicalId":37460,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Research in Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141014096","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 effects of needle size and mixed convection parameter on stream on velocity and temperature, together with graphical representations of the coefficient of skin friction and local heat transfer rate, are presented.

Many investigations have been conducted in recent years to develop environmentally acceptable alternative refrigerants. Dimethyl ether (DME) is a good contender among the various alternative refrigerants because it has minimal ozone depletion potential (ODP) and global warming potential (GWP). The performance of dimethyl ether as an alternative refrigerant to R134a was evaluated in this study. This study compared the performance of a freezer while using R134a and when using dimethyl ether. The use of dimethyl ether was varied based on mass, namely 60 grams, 70 grams, and 80 grams, or in percentages as much as 40%, 46.7%, and 53.3% of the total mass if R134a. The results showed that using dimethyl ether instead of R134a improved freezer performance. Based on the mass variation, it was found that the chilling time using 80 grams of DME is almost the same as R134a. Even, the Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) is higher than R134a. Therefore, R134a can be substituted by 53.3% mass of DME in a freezer.","PeriodicalId":37460,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Research in Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140770435","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 governing partial differential equations are reduced to a couple of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using suitable transformation equations; these equations are then solved numerically with the use of the conventional fourth-order Runge Kutta method accompanied by the shooting technique. As a result, the effects of various physical parameters on the velocity, temperature, and nanoparticle concentration profiles as well as on the skin friction coefficient and rate of heat transfer are discussed with the aid of graphs and tables.

This article analyses the causes of heat generation in lithium-ion battery packs, focusing on their dominance over total heat generation. It discusses the thermal issues arising from heat generation, their root causes, and influencing parameters. Further, it examines the effect of cooling systems on peak battery temperature and temperature uniformity, as well as their design, operating, and performance parameters. The review suggests that, when designing a cooling system, entropic heating should be considered alongside Joule heating during low discharge rates and high temperatures, which are the conditions that prevail when an EV cruises on highways in hot weather. Capacity fade of battery is caused by temperature-dependent factors such as the growth of the SEI layer, rise in separator resistance, and active material loss. Hence an effective battery cooling system should maintain a temperature range of 15°C to 35°C and ‘ΔTmax’ below 6°C. Out of the reviewed cooling systems, air cooling is found to be simple and cost effective, but inefficient for large battery packs. PCM based cooling technique offers greater temperature uniformity but is sensitive to melting point. Liquid cooling is most efficient but adds cost and complexity. Evaporative cooling can serve as a middle ground between air and liquid cooling with further research to put it into practice. The future research in battery thermal management may focus lowering the energy consumption of the cooling systems by taking into account, the precise cooling needs as per the modes of battery operation.","PeriodicalId":37460,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Research in Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140757470","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}
