Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecycled High-Density Polyethylene and Rice Husk as a Wetted Pad in Evaporative Cooling SystemNitipong Soponpongpipat, Sukum KositchaimongkolProblem statement: The low cost and easy-to-find materials, for being used as wetted pad of evaporative cooling system, are necessary for agriculture. This study, thus, studied the evaporative cooling efficiency and pressure drop of recycled High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and rice husk as a wetted pad in evaporative cooling system. Approach: The study was done by establishing the tested wetted pad … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2011 · 8,704 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 abstractNumerical Investigation of Incompressible Fluid Flow through Porous Media in a Lid-Driven Square CavityM.A. Mohd Irwan, A. M. Fudhail, C.S. Nor Azwadi, G. MasoudProblem statement: Investigation of fluid flow behavior through porous media in a liddriven square cavity. Approach: The Brinkman-Forcheimer equation is coupled with the lattice Boltzmann formulation to predict the velocity field in the system. Three numerical experiments were preformed with different values of Darcy number to investigate the effect of porosity on the fluid flow. Results: In the current study, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,409 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimple Improvement of Momentum Interpolation Equation for Navier-Stoke Equation Solver on Unstructured GridAdek TasriProblem statement: Pressure and velocity decoupling have been source of problem in solving Navier-Stokes and continuity equation particularly in complex collocated grid. The problem of pressure velocity decoupling is usually reduced by using momentum interpolation to calculate mass flux at face of control volume. Equation of momentum interpolation was derived by assumption that the face of cell is equidistant from … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,861 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWall Shear Stress Distribution in Patient Specific Coronary Artery BifurcationVahab Dehlaghi, Frank GijsenProblem statement: Atherogenesis is affected by hemodynamic parameters, such as wall shear stress and wall shear stress spatial gradient. These parameters are largely dependent on the geometry of arterial tree. Arterial bifurcations contain significant flow disturbances. Approach: The effects of branch angle and vessel diameter ratio at the bifurcations on the wall shear stress distribution in the coronary arterial tree … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,369 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimilarity Solutions for Free Convection Between Two Parallel Porous Walls at Different TemperaturesA. J. Omowaye, O. K. KorikoProblem statement: A two dimensional steady laminar free convective flow of viscous incompressible fluid between two parallel porous walls is considered. Approach: Using the similarity variable, the partial differential equations were reduced to ordinary differential equations. The coupled ordinary differential equations were solved numerically using shooting method. The effect of various physical parameters, such as the Prandtl number, Grashof number, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,786 accessesView PDFCite
