Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Assessment of Solar Chimneys: Part I – Impact of Chimney Height on Power OutputErdem Cuce, Pinar Mert CuceSolar chimney is a truly sustainable and green energy technology, which is a potential alternative to carbon-based energy economy. The working principle of solar chimneys is based on the buoyant nature of air to turn a turbine that produces electrical power. Solar chimneys are highly in the centre of interest among all solar energy applications since they enable both day … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 29 Jun 2019 · 8,200 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Gaussian Plume Model against CFD Simulations through the Estimation of CO and NO Concentrations in an Urban AreaMahmoud BadyDispersion of air pollutants, Carbon monoxide (CO) and Nitrogen oxide (NO), due to three point sources and a high-density traffic road in an urban area located near the center of Tokyo, Japan was studied using two different approaches. The first is an analytical approach using Gaussian Plume Model (GPM) while the second is a numerical approach using Computational Fluid Dynamics … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,912 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Analysis of the Integration of Wind Turbines into the Design of the Built EnvironmentHassam Nasarullah Chaudhry, John Kaiser Calautit, Ben Richard HughesThe effect of wind distribution on the architectural domain of the Bahrain Trade Centre was numerically analysed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Using the numerical data, the power generation potential of the building integrated wind turbines was determined in response to the prevailing wind direction. Simulating a reference wind speed of 6 m/s, the findings from the study quantified an … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 22 Dec 2014 · 7,544 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractON THE RELIABILITY OF REYNOLDS-AVERAGED NAVIER STOKES PREDICTION OF MEAN FLOW CHARACTERISTICS OF A RECTANGULAR TURBULENT JET IN CROSSFLOWE. Khali, Y. F. YaoA jet of fluid discharging into a cross stream, also known as Jet In Crossflow (JICF), has received many experimental and numerical investigations. In addition to the fundamental understanding of three-dimensional mixing and shear flow characteristics, the fluid dynamics research community often regarded it as a benchmark test case for validating turbulence models. Although many authors considered the canonical case … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2014 · 6,960 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Simulation of the Transient Flow in Natural Gas Transmission Lines Using a Computational Fluid Dynamic MethodPedram Ghaseminejad, Nikan NoorbeheshtUntil now, almost all tools that are used to analyze gas transportation networks are based on steady flow conditions. Some design problems can be solved by the assumption of a steady state. However, some circumstances force us to use transient analyses, which commonly include changes in customer demand, the failure of a compressor station or gas pipeline ruptures. In this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 6 Jan 2013 · 7,464 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental and Skeletal Kinetic Model Study of Compressed Natural Gas Fueled Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition EngineP. M. Diaz, B. Durga Prasad, D.S. Manoj Abraham, K. PalaniKumarProblem statement: In homogeneous charge compression ignition engines fuel oxidation chemistry determines the auto-ignition timing, heat release, reaction intermediates and the ultimate products of combustion. To shorten development time and to understand combustion processes, the use of simulation is increasing. Approach: A model that correctly simulates fuel oxidation at these conditions would be a useful design tool. Detailed models of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 22 Mar 2012 · 7,258 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling and Optimization of the Vortex Tube with Computational Fluid Dynamic AnalysisK.K. Zin, A. Hansske, F. ZieglerProblem statement: This study illustrated the influence of the Length to Diameter (L/D) on the fluid flow characteristics inside the counter-flow Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube predicted by Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) and validated through experiment. Approach: The swirl velocity, axial velocity, radial velocity component and also secondary circulation flow (back-flow) along with the pressure within the vortex tube were simulated and … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,833 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFull Model Wind Tunnel Study on the Xia-Zhang Bridge Under Operation StageAyad Thabit Saeed, Zhang Liang Liang, Yang Zhuan Yun et al.Problem statement: Long-span cable-stayed bridges under service and particular construction conditions are very susceptible to wind action due to their great flexibility, so the aerodynamic stability is becoming a major concern in the design and construction phrases. Cable-stayed bridges may exhibit wind-induced vibration phenomena such as flutter, buffeting and vortex oscillation under wind excitation. The study concentrated on the issues … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,196 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Size of Heated Obstruction within Room on Three Dimensional Air Flow CharacteristicsAbduljabbar Muttair Ahmed, Mukhtar Ahmad, Abdur RahimProblem statement: This study reported a numerical investigation of three-dimensional turbulent buoyant recirculating flow within a room with heated obstruction. Approach: The study involved the solution of partial differential equations for the conservation of mass, momentum, energy, concentration, turbulent energy and its dissipation rate. These equations were solved together with algebraic expressions for the turbulent viscosity and the heat diffusivity, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 6,942 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation of Airflow and Aerodynamic Forces Acting on a Rotating Turbine VentilatorA.S. Farahani, N.M. Adam, M.K.A. AriffinProblem statement: Rotating turbine ventilators were generally found in most countries. They were simple in structure, light in weight and cheap to install. It was quite surprising that, the aerodynamics of this common device had not been numerically examined and the design process of most of these ventilators had developed progressively through trial and error methods. Approach: This study was … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,719 accessesView PDFCite
