Natural convection in two-dimensional rectangular enclosure is studied numerically using a finite element method. In the present study, top wall is considered adiabatic, two vertical walls are maintained at constant low temperature, the bottom wall…
Unstiffened plates are integral part of ship structures, offshore oil platforms, lock gates and floating docks. Openings are provided in these plates for access and maintenance. Provision of opening influences the ultimate strength of plate elements.…
The dynamic characteristics of the pressure and velocity fields of unsteady incompressible laminar and turbulent wakes behind a circular cylinder are investigated numerically and analyzed physically. The governing equations, written in the velocity…
The numerical studies are performed to examine the steady MHD free convection and mass transfer fluid flow through a continuously moving porous medium with thermal diffusion and diffusion thermo past a semi-infinite vertical porous plate in a…
[THIS PAPER IS PLAGIARIZED FROM 'Artana, K. B. and Ishida, K.(2003): The Determination of Optimum Ship’s Design and Power Prediction Using Spreadsheet Model, Journal of the JIME, Vol. 37, No. 6',…
This paper investigates the thermodynamic framework of a three-bed advanced adsorption chiller, where the mass recovery scheme has been utilized such that the performances of this chiller could be improved and a CFC-free-based sorption chiller driven…
In this paper, the effect of viscous dissipation and pressure stress work on free convection flow along a vertical flat plate has been investigated. Heat conduction due to wall thickness b is considered in this investigation. With a goal to attain…
For Environmental concern on synthetic fibers (such as glass, carbon, ceramic fibers, etc.) natural fibers such as flax, hemp, jute, kenaf, etc. are widely used. In this research work, jute fiber reinforced polypropylene matrix composites have been…
A study of unsteady MHD free convection flow through a porous vertical flat plate immersed in a porous medium in presence of magnetic field with radiation has been analyzed. Introducing a time dependent suction to the plate, a similarity procedure…
Fracture toughness (K1C) of medium carbon steel (0.5% C) has been determined by round notched tensile specimen. Two notch diameters (5.6mm and 4.2mm) and three notch angles (α) namely 45°, 60° and 75° have been used to observe the…
