    Free-convection condensation on single horizontal pin-fin tubes

    No full text
    PhDNew experimental data are reported for free-convection condensation of ethylene glycol and R-113 on three-dimensional pin-fin tubes. Effects of pin geometry and tube thermal conductivity (for copper, brass and bronze giving a mean range of 400, 120 and 80 W/m K over the range of temperature of interest) were investigated. All tests were performed at near atmospheric pressure with downward flowing vapour at low velocity. Heat-transfer enhancement was found to be approximately twice the corresponding active surface area of the tubes, i.e. the surface area of the parts of the tube and pin surface not covered by condensate retained by surface tension. For ethylene glycol, the best performing pin-fin tube gave a heat-transfer enhancement of 5.8, about 24 % higher than the ‘equivalent’ two-dimensional integral-fin tube (i.e. with the same finroot diameter, longitudinal fin spacing and thickness and fin height). For R-113, the best enhancement was 5.9, about 10 % higher than the equivalent integral-fin tube. For both fluids tested, vapour-side, heat-transfer enhancement was found to increase with decreasing circumferential pin spacing and increasing pin height. Circumferential pin thickness had little effect on heat-transfer enhancement. Effects of tube thermal conductivity were found to be more significant for ethylene glycol than R-113. Retention angle measurements were made under static conditions (without condensation) and were found to be larger than for equivalent integral-fin tubes. An expression for condensate retention angle on pin-fin tubes was proposed and found to agree with the measured retention angles to ±15%. A semi-empirical model for condensation heat transfer on horizontal pin-fin tubes has been developed which accounts for the combined effect of gravity and surface tension. The model predicts the majority of available data to ±20 %

    An optimization study of a multiple-row pin-vented brake disc to promote brake cooling using computational fluid dynamics

    Brake disc cooling is an important area of research for high-performance brake disc manufacturers, users as well as academia. In high-demand braking applications, vented discs are increasingly being used as these are considered to have high heat-dissipating characteristics. The cooling efficiency of ventilated brakes depend on three key characteristics: the mass flowrate through the disc, i.e. the pumping efficiency of the rotor, the average heat transfer coefficient on the surface of the disc, and the wetted area of the rotor. Recent research has shown that the pin-vented discs have high heat transfer rates because of an increase in turbulence which results in a higher heat transfer coefficient. The pin-vented discs also have a higher resistance to thermal deformation owing to the more even distribution of material, resulting in lower thermal stress build-up within the rotor. The pin-vented discs in general have multiple rows of pins. In this paper an optimal configuration of various rows has been found for the maximum heat transfer rate. It has also been found that the ratio of wetted area of the disc to the frontal area of pins defines the heat transfer rate from the disc uniquely and can be used as a design parameter for the optimal design of a brake dis

    PIN generation using EEG : a stability study

    No full text
    In a previous study, it has been shown that brain activity, i.e. electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, can be used to generate personal identification number (PIN). The method was based on brain–computer interface (BCI) technology using a P300-based BCI approach and showed that a single-channel EEG was sufficient to generate PIN without any error for three subjects. The advantage of this method is obviously its better fraud resistance compared to conventional methods of PIN generation such as entering the numbers using a keypad. Here, we investigate the stability of these EEG signals when used with a neural network classifier, i.e. to investigate the changes in the performance of the method over time. Our results, based on recording conducted over a period of three months, indicate that a single channel is no longer sufficient and a multiple electrode configuration is necessary to maintain acceptable performances. Alternatively, a recording session to retrain the neural network classifier can be conducted on shorter intervals, though practically this might not be viable

    A cohesive zone model for predicting delamination suppression in z-pin reinforced laminates

    No full text
    This paper presents a cohesive zone model based finite element analysis of delamination resistance of z-pin reinforced double cantilever beam (DCB). The main difference between this and existing cohesive zone models is that each z- pin bridging force is governed by a traction-separation law derived from a meso- mechanical model of the pin pullout process, which is independent of the fracture toughness of unreinforced laminate. Therefore, two different traction- separation laws are used: one representing the toughness of unreinforced laminate and the other the enhanced delamination toughness owing to the pin bridging action. This approach can account for the large scale bridging effect and avoid using concentrated pin forces, thus removing the mesh dependency and permitting more accurate analysis solution. Computations were performed using a simplified unit strip model. Predicted delamination growth and load vs. displacement relation are in excellent agreement with the prediction by a complete model, and both models are in good agreement with test measured load vs. displacement relation. For a pinned DCB specimen, the unit strip model can reduce the computing time by 85%
