CFD analysis of heat transfer in a pipe having different External fin profile

The heat transfer rate to a fluid flowing in pipe can be enhanced by the use of fins. This thesis concerned with computer simulation study of tube with different fins used to enhance their heat transfer performance subjected to natural convection heat transfer. In the present study the performance of a heated pipe having fins of various configurations using ANSYS 15.0 is analysed. The material under consideration is aluminium and the free stream fluid is air. Base width and height of the fin were kept constant for all the three types. The heat transfer rate from the fins and the overall heat transfer rate has been calculated and compared for various fin configurations. Also the overall heat transfer co-efficient has been found out. Temperature contours for various fin configuration has been plotted showing the convection loops formed around the heated pipe surface. After comparing it is shown that we can find that the best configuration for this type of convective heat transfer of a heated pipe is a trapezoidal fin as they have the highest total heat transfer rate.

A review on CFD based flow and heat transfer analysis of various ribs in solar air heater duct by continuous ribs on absorber plate

In order to improve performances, in terms of higher thermodynamic efficiency and power output for heat exchanging devices like solar air heaters, heat exchangers and machines like gas turbines, the study of heat transfer mechanism and fluid flow play a vital role. Thermal assessment of heat exchanging devices, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach has advantages over the cost effecting practical experiments. To understand the complete phenomenon of heat transfer, heat flow as well as fluid flow must be considered in numerical analysis. Hence, accurate numerical method turbulence model and equation solving approach are required to predict heat transfer behaviour.

Feature selection: A review

Feature selection is an important process in machine learning, whose goal is to find a small number of features by removing irrelevant and/or redundant features. The main idea of feature selection is to choose a subset of input variables by eliminating features with or no predictive information. Feature selection removes dimensionality reduction problem. It is best for high dimensional data. Feature selection methods can be divided into three classes. One of is filter methods and another one is wrapper method and the third one is embedded method. This is one of two ways of avoiding the curse of dimensionality. This work reviews several fundamental feature selection algorithms found in the literature.

Automated street lighting system using IoT

In this modern era where energy is a major concern worldwide, it is our prior responsibility & liability to save energy effectively. With the development of technology, where automation system plays a vital role in daily life experience and it is being preferred over the traditional manual system today. Here we propose an IOT based street light monitoring and controlling system to ensure, low power consumption, instant faulty light detection and light dimming as per external lighting conditions. Our proposed system consists of smart street lights that have external light sensing that automatically turns on at the desired intensity based on an amount of lighting needed.

Comparison between seismic variation of conventional RC slab and flat slab with drop for G+15 storey building in different zones using etabs software

Every year thousands of buildings are damaged and collapsed and thousands of people become homeless due to the natural calamity Earthquake, which occurs with intensities not less than 3 on the seismic scale. In the present era, the low rise to high rise buildings is constructed due to limited space. Once, this earthquake occurs, its effects these structures most. Huge property loss and human loss occur. In order, to control this some precautions and codes for seismic-resistant building construction are assigned by various countries. In India, IS 1893-2002 provides the rules and precautions for various types of building construction that is seismic resistant. Buildings such as Conventional RC Frame structures are common in practice .but due to highly advanced technologies, beamless slab called Flat slab is in use these days. T Hough flat slab possess many advantages over conventional buildings when dealing with seismicity, the flat slab is far less potentially strong to resist for seismic conditions. In the present work the comparison of Conventional building and Flat slab with Drop in different zones, using ETABS software. Therefore, the characteristics of a seismic behavior of Flat slab and Conventional RC frame building measures for guiding the concept and design of these structures and for improving the performance of buildings during seismic loading. In Present work, a good amount of information regarding parameters such as Storey Displacement, Storey Shear, Overturning Moment, and Storey Drift for Flat Slab and Conventional Slab is provided and its variation of these parameters in different zones is also detailed.

Profiling outcomes in clients with bimodal hearing

The current study aims to profile the outcome measures of bimodal hearing in terms of speech perception in noise, pitch pattern differentiation ability and also the range of hearing disabilities across several domains using the Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Scale (SSQ). A total of 15 subjects with age range of 6 – 20 years have participated in the study. Primarily aided responses were obtained for frequencies ranging from 250Hz to 8 KHz under three conditions. Loudness scaling procedure was attempted to obtain the most comfortable level. At the level of MCL, Pitch pattern test scores and also speech perception in noise scores by using variable SNR procedure were obtained under three conditions along with SSQ questionnaire administration. The results of the speech perception in noise test reveal that subjects with bimodal stimulation have shown a mean of +4 dB SNR improvement in signal to noise ratio when compared with CI alone condition. The temporal organization capacity is also better with bimodal condition with a mean percentage of 58.4% when compared with the unimodal condition. The perceptual rating of the bimodal condition also seems to be better than the unimodal condition for each question in SSQ questionnaire. To conclude with the Outcome measures of all test procedures, the subjects with bimodal stimulation perform significantly better than Unimodal stimulation condition. Binaural hearing improves better speech perception in noise with the help of squelch effect, better localization skills with the help of ITD and ILD cues, ease of listening through binaural summation. Bimodal stimulation provides the above mentioned binaural advantages to the hearing-impaired population. This bimodal stimulation is also helpful in restricting the auditory deprivation in the non-implanted side of the individual with bilateral Severe to Profound hearing loss, which in turn will give good prognosis if the CI is done on the other ear later
