Effect of the Preheating Inlet Air on the G222 Fuel Combustion
Get PDFIn this paper, a numerical simulation is developed to study the preheating effect of the air in a three-dimensional cylindrical combustion chamber using the FLUENT-CFD code. Particularly, we are interested on the calculation of the characteristic parameters such as the axial velocity, the temperature and the mass fraction of carbon monoxide. This study consists of a special treatment of mathematical models. The considered approaches resolve the governing equations of system. The main objective of this work is to study the behavior of the parameters considered previously during the variation of the air inlet temperature. The obtained results show that the variation of the inlet temperature presents a direct effect on the considered parameters.
Numerical Study of a Turbulent Burner by Means of RANS and Detailed Chemistry
Get PDFThe present paper shows a numerical study of the Co-flow turbulent flame configuration using the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) modelling with detailed chemistry. The presumed Probability Density Function (PDF) model combined with the k-Ɛ turbulence model is adopted. The GRI Mech-3.0 mechanism that involves 53 species and 325 reactions is used. The effect of the turbulent Schmidt number Sct and the C1ε constant in the turbulent dissipation transport equation is highlighted. Despite the simplicity of RANS approach compared to other complex models such as LES and DNS, the results show that this approach is still able to simulate the turbulent flame
Economic Perspective in the Production of Silver Nanoparticles on the Bacterial Cellulose Membrane as Antibacterial Material
Get PDFSilver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are the most frequently studied material with superiority as antibacterial that currently increasing the production of Ag NPs. Hence, feasibility study is needed for the development on the production of Ag NPs in industrial scale, especially in Indonesia and other developing countries. The chemical reduction with sodium citrate is used to produce Ag NPs. The purpose of this study is to analysis the prospect of large-scale industrial production in engineering perspective and economic evaluation. This study also gave recommendations for profitability of the production. Perspective of engineering in the production gave information about capability of large-scale production because the easy process and low-cost apparatuses of production can be done. Various economic parameters were used to completed the analysis.

From this study, those all parameters gave positive result which mean it has good profitability. However, further analysis of strategies in sales and investment must be done in the future to developing the production of Ag NPs that promising in capability on large-scale production

Get PDFIn order to improve the efficiency of a planar heterojunction organic-inorganic solar cell, this work is carried out using SCAPS software. The studied inverted P-I-N structure is PEDOT:PSS/ CH3NH3PbI3/ PCBM where PEDOT:PSS is the hole transporting layer (HTL), CH3NH3PbI3 is the Perovskite absorber layer (PVK) and PCBM is the electron transporting layer (ETL). The simulated structure is sandwiched between SnO2: FTO and Al which are the transparent and aluminum electrodes respectively. Simulation efforts are focused on thickness and density of states (donor’s and acceptors) effect on solar cell efficiency. Found results improved the power conversion efficiency (PCE) from 11.73% up to 19.58 %
Detection and Diagnosis faults in Machine asynchronous based on single processing
Get PDFIn this work, we proposed multi-winding model for the simulation of broken bars in squirrel cage asynchronous machine, this model allows to study the influence of the broken bar defects on the behavior general of machines in different operating conditions (healthy and faulty). The breaking of the most frequent bars of the rotor causes oscillations of the torque, speed, and the current, the increase of the resistance of the rotor creates the defects proportional with the number of breaks bar K .The diagnosis fault using technique of single processing based on Spectrum analysis for detection broken bar. The results of the simulation obtained allowed us to show the importance of this technique for detection broken bar
Elastic, mechanical and thermodynamic properties of zinc blende III-X (X= As, Sb): ab-initio calculations
Get PDFIn this work, density functional theory plane-wave full potential method, with local density approximation (LDA) are used to investigate the structural, mechanical and thermodynamic properties of of zincblende III-X ( X= As, Sb) compends. Comparison of the calculated equilibrium lattice constants and experimental data shows very good agreement. The elastic constants were determined from a linear fit of the calculated stress-strain function according to Hooke’s law. From the elastic constants, the bulk modulus B, shear modulus G, Young’s modulus E, Poisson’s ratio σ, anisotropy factor A, the ratio B/G and the hardness parameter H for zincblende III-X ( X= As, Sb) compound are obtained. Our calculated elastic constants indicate that the ground state structure of III-X ( X= As, Sb) is mechanically stable. The sound velocities and Debye temperature are also predicted from elastic constants

Get PDFAs we are living in the Era of Computer Science and almost all individuals and the organizations are completely relying on software systems. The requirement engineering is the most vital and important aspect in the success of any software engineering project. Requirement Engineering is a set of different process that works at different levels, which are incorporated at individual and organizational level Projects We need to consult different sources to find requirements. We need to involve personals from the different fields to find a set of quality requirements. The security issues undergoes as soon as early in the 1st phase of requirements. It is shown from the studies that if we consider Quality Process of Requirement Engineering at the phase it results in saving of million dollars. This paper contains the details study and comparison of different RE Process Models and Requirement Elicitation techniques. This paper elaborates the vital aspects of different Requirement Engineering Process models that help in the selection of appropriate model for the Requirement Engineers and practitioners working in the industry.

Control with Sliding Mode of a Five-Phase Series-Connected Two-asynchronous Motor Drive
Get PDFIn this paper, we study sliding mode control of series-connected five-phase two asynchronous machines supplied with a three levels inverter. After presentation of multiphase machines, we worked out the mathematical model of five phase asynchronous machine supplied with voltage inverter. Application of Park transformation reduces considerably the mathematical model of machine. After, we applied vector control and sliding mode control to the five-phase induction machine. After that, we study a multi-machine system, which comport five-phase two asynchronous machines supplied with a single voltage inverter.In the last, we had the sliding mode control of series-connected five-phase two asynchronous machines. Simulations are presented to show the effectiveness of the control strategy. We observe that an appropriate transposition of phase’s order permits an independent control of two machines
GPVDM simulation of layer thickness effect on power conversion efficiency of CH3NH3PbI3 based planar heterojunction solar cell
Get PDFPerovskite-based solar cell technologies have been a very attractive area of research in recent years. Organic-inorganic perovskite materials are in an increased evolution in power conversion efficiency. Inorganic materials have been tested at the laboratory level but their power conversion efficiency is still limited. In this paper, we used the GPVDM software to study the effect of some parameters on power conversion efficiency in a planar heterojunction solar cell based on CH3NH3PbI3 as an absorbing layer. The modifications were made by considering layers of perovskite without defects. The results show that the efficiency of the power conversion can be improved by adjusting layer thickness; in our case power conversion efficiency was increased from 9.96 % to 12.9 %
