Abstract: A method to solve the radiative transfer equation (RTE) for absorbingemitting and/or scattering media for 2D and axisymmetric geometries using a general 3D solver with a special treatment of the boundary condition in the ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation has been carried out to assess the effectiveness of truncated triangular tabs, provided with corrugations (semicircular, triangle, and square shapes) all along their edges, capable of shedding ...

Abstract: This paper presents a mathematical model for drying agricultural produce using a solar dryer capable of oscillating its bed while kept at an inclined position with respect to vertical. A model of the solar dryer with ...

Abstract: Trapped vortex combustor (TVC) is a relatively new concept, having potential application in gas turbine engines. In this work, an attempt has been made to characterize the 2D twin cavity TVC experimentally in terms of its ...

Abstract: Studies were made to understand the flow features around an open cavity at Mach 2.0 corresponding to Re = 0.55 × 106 based on the cavity depth. Experiments were carried out using a blowdown type supersonic wind tunnel ...

Abstract: The thermal degradation characteristics of eucalyptus, pearl millet cob, and corncob were investigated using the nonisothermal thermogravimetric method. This investigation was performed to carry out the thermochemical ...

Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer composites are used as emerging materials to repair oil and gas transmission pipelines without stopping the flow of fluids inside. These pipelines are subjected to harsh environment conditions such ...

Abstract: Environmental concerns have led to an increase in the development of bio-lubricants during the last ten years. Many tribological studies address the findings of various types of bio-based lubricant performance derived from ...
