ABSTRACT Piston endures the cyclic gas pressure and the inertial forces at work, and this working condition may cause the fatigue damage of piston such as piston side wear, piston head cracks and so on. One of the design criteria is the endeavour to reduce the structural weight and thus to reduce fuel consumption. This […]

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Simulation in Air Duct Channels Using STAR CCM+
ABSTRACT Pressure loss in air duct channels is caused by friction between the fluid and the walls of the pipe conveying liquid or gaseous product from one location to another. In recent times, a number of tools have developed for analysing this relationship but STAR CCM+ was adopted in this study for analysing the pressure […]
A Novel Approach to Hybrid Abrasive-Cavitation Methods for Ma-chining
ABSTRACT The precision and accuracy of the work piece with Nano finish and surface veracity requirements has directed to a revolution in manufacturing sector. Traditional manufacturing methods utilize mechanical energy for machining and the material removal takes place by chip formation but high dimensional accuracy and surface finish cannot be obtained by non-conventional machining processes. […]
Qualitative Risk Analysis for Driven Piles Activities
ABSTRACT The construction of deep foundations has many challenges owing to increase the unforeseen parameters controlling the process of construction. Driven piles based on the Precast Reinforced Concrete (PRC) technology is considered one of the deepest foundations types that used in water structures in Egypt such as bridges. The construction process for such projects faces […]
Atomizing Flow Simulations Using a Eulerian Multiphase Model
ABSTRACT Atomization of liquid sprays is a widely popular application utilized in increasing the efficiency of combustion applications. The number and size of liquid droplets play a crucial role in obtaining the optimal drop size distribution for the reaction and evaporation processes within a combustion chamber. A generalized numerical model that describes the fragmentation phenomena […]
Design of a Portable Carrier System for TransportingBasic Household UtilitiesinHatchback Family Cars
ABSTRACT The passenger seat in hatchback vehicles is sometimes adjusted to create more space for cargo and passengers oftentimes stretch uncomfortably in attempt to load and offload heavy cargo. This paper is focused on designing a portable carrier system to minimise passenger’s efforts while conveying heavy loads to desired destinations. Quality Function Design (QFD) method […]
Determination of Bearing Capacity of Square Footing by a Computer Program Using Meyerhof’s Analysis
ABSTRACT This paper utilizes a computer program to determine the bearing capacity of square footing and also the effect of soil properties, size and depth of footing and contact area of footing on the bearing capacity of square footing. In present investigation four different soil samples (having different values of unit weight, cohesion and angle […]
Experimental Study of Exhaust System of Cooling Tower using VAWT
ABSTRACT To harness clean energy from the exhaust of induced draft cooling tower without affecting the performance of cooling tower. A vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) is mounted over the top of cooling tower in a cross wind orientation to utilize exhaust wind in a useful work done. This turbine system was not only recover […]
Effects of Industrial Solid Waste Toxicity on Soil & Soil Amendments
ABSTRACT The Industrial solid waste samples were collected at the outlet of release channel of the Oil and Gas Industry at Kakinada, air-dried and was brought to the laboratory. The soil amendments were prepared for as Control, Amendment 1, 2, 3 and 4. The pH of the amendments decreased from A1 to A4 (6.82 to […]
Optimum Common Frequency Routing (CFR) of JIT Systems with Time-Varying Demand and Flexible Production Capacities
ABSTRACT This study introduces a framework for optimum Common Frequency Routing (CFR) of a JIT system with time-varying demand and flexible production capacities. The system consists of components, people and machines that make useful products. The system is managed across boundaries and interfaces. The boundaries define the scope of the system or subsystem, while the […]
