Abstract: This study investigates performance-based design optimization for a Kaplan hydro turbine at a maximum water head of 2.6 m (8.5 ft), a micro-sized horizontal Kaplan turbine with 7.6 cm (3.0 in) diameter that has fixed blades ...

Abstract: This paper presents a solid rocket motor (SRM), both experiment and simulation of alumina molten flow patterns using the cold flow case. The combustion of aluminum composite propellants in SRM chambers causes high-temperature ...

Abstract: This study presents findings on combined effects of Reynolds number and rotational effect for a two-pass channel with a 180-deg turn, numerically and experimentally. To have a better understanding of the flow behavior and ...

Abstract: Aluminized propellants are frequently used in solid rocket motors (SRMs) to increase specific impulse. However, as the propellant combusts, the aluminum is oxidized into aluminum oxide (Al2O3), it agglomerates into molten ...

Abstract: The main purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of using a hybrid photovoltaic (PV), fuel cell (FC), and battery system to power different load cases, which are intended to be used at the Al-Zarqa governorate ...

Abstract: The objective of the paper is to study the design and optimization of Kaplan hydroturbines for a very low head (less than 3 m), with a particular emphasis on the use of rim-drive electrical generators. The work is based ...

Abstract: Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are a significant energy consumer, yet there are several opportunities for implementing on-site power generation systems. Within the treatment process, the high flow rate of effluent is ...
