Abstract: Thermodynamics, the science of energy interactions, governs the direction of processes found in nature. While the subject finds wide applications in science and technology, its connection to biological sciences and in ...

Abstract: In urban settings, vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have gained recognition for their ease of usage and omnidirectional wind acceptance. Their low efficiency in comparison to horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) has ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the modeling of turbulent flow through a 90 deg pipe bend using an unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (U-RANS) approach where k–ε model is used for turbulence closure. While limitations in solving ...
