Abstract
In many engineering applications like heat exchanger, radiator, evaporator, nuclear power plant and thermal power plant, arrangement of tubes is very crucial. Fluid elastic instability forms the basis for deciding the type of arrangement and tube spacing but the phenomenon of vortex induced vibration is random in nature. Tube spacing also plays a critical role in different types of arrangement. Different type of application requires different tube spacing and the range of tube spacing vary from 1 to 6. Vortex Induced Vibration in cross flow around the inline and staggered arrangement of the tube arrays is experimentally studied for varying P/d (tube spacing) ratio. It is observed that with the increase in the velocity, the amplitude displacement increases. As the amplitude displacement of the tube reduces, the pitch over diameter ratio is increased from 2 to 4. It is also observed that between inline and staggered arrangement, the amplitude displacement of staggered arrangement is more compared to inline arrangement for same tube spacing.

Vortex Tubes are devices that work on a standard compressed air supply. Air enters the vortex tube and is literally split into two parts cold air at one end, and hot air at the other all without any moving parts. Vortex Tubes have an adjustable valve at the hot end which controls the volume of the air flow, and the temperature exiting at the cold end. By adjusting the valve, you control the cold fraction which is the percentage of total input compressed air that exits the cold end of the Vortex Tube. Our Vortex Tubes may also be supplied with a fixed preset cold fraction instead of an adjustable valve. Inside is the interchangeable brass generator which can alter the air used in the Vortex Tube, and control the temperature ranges you wish to have at the cold and hot ends. There are several ranges of generators for compressed air capacity. There are also two basic types of generators one to produce the extreme cold temperatures maximum cold temperature out called the C generator and one type to produce the maximum amount of cooling maximum refrigeration called the H generator .

Ijri te-03-011 performance testing of vortex tubes with variable parametersIjripublishers Ijri
Conventional refrigeration system is a type of refrigeration systems which are costly; noisy, harmful gases released from a machine based on application of this type of system and it is required more maintenance. So, we need to go for unconventional refrigeration systems like vortex tube refrigeration system, which produce less vibrations and which require less maintenance and which are noiseless. It is required for our mechanical engineers to look for enhancing the performance of such vortex tubes. So as a part of my project work, I have chosen various sizes of vortex tubes and test their performances for finding out optimum performance. We will be testing the performance of vortex tubes with different ‘l/d’ ratios and different cold fractions, with different pressures and different nozzle sizes.
Effect of Geometric Modifications on the Performance of Vortex Tube - A ReviewIJERA Editor
The vortex tube is device, which produces hot and cold air streams simultaneously at its two ends from a source
of compressed air without any moving part. Literature review of this paper is to understand the effect of various
parameters like inlet pressure of air, number of nozzles, cold orifice diameter and hot end valve angle on the
performance of vortex tube. Also by the literature review it is clear that there is no theory so perfect, which
gives the satisfactory explanation of the vortex tube phenomenon. Due to this reason researcher conduct the

vortex tube.
NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF DOUBLE INLET PULSE TUBE REFRIGERATORNetha Jashuva
Pulse Tube cryocooler or Pulse Tube Refrigerator (PTR) is a compact refrigerator which is capable of attaining a cryogenic temperature below 123 K (-150 K). As there are no moving components at low temperature side of PTR, it attracts the attention of various researchers. The advantages are mainly its simplicity, low vibration at cold end side, low cost, long life span and ease of manufacturing. With the tremendous development in the performance of PTR and due to its compactness, PTR has a wide range of applications like infrared sensors, aerospace, night vision equipments, communication, micro-biological sciences, superconductivity, in medical science and SQUID. In this present work, modeling and numerical simulation is carried out for Double Inlet Pulse Tube Refrigerator (DIPTR). There are various types of PTRs on the basis of way of their development stages. DIPTR is the modification of Orifice Pulse Tube Refrigerator (OPTR), by simply adding one more valve in between the hot end side of pulse tube and inlet to the regenerator. This arrangement is very much useful to prevent the flow of large amount of gas into pulse tube through the regenerator as in case of OPTR. Here, a two dimensional (2D) model of DIPTR is created using ANSYS Design Modeler and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solution approach is chosen for numerical simulation purpose. The detailed study on cool down behavior at cold end of DIPTR, pressure variation at inlet and also heat transfer has been performed using CFD package FLUENT software (ANSYS FLUENT 15.0.0). Four numbers of cases have been chosen in which the pressure User Defined Functions (UDFs) are different and all other parameters remain unchanged. Pressure UDFs are applied at inlet as a boundary condition to define the oscillating motion of piston inside the piston-cylinder arrangement. The four pressure UDFs are of different wave forms such as Sinusoidal, Rectangular, Triangular and Trapezoidal. Pulse tube dimension is taken as 15 mm diameter and 250 mm length. The regenerator and other heat exchangers are specified as porous zones with a porosity of 0.6. The operating frequency for all cases is 2 Hz. After simulation using four pressure UDFs, it has been found that pressure UDF generating triangular pressure wave is more efficient than other pressure UDFs and a temperature of 111 K is obtained using triangular wave form of pressure.
The Vortex Tube is a low cost solution to a wide variety of industrial processing and spot cooling needs. Small Vortex Tubes and Medium Vortex Tubes are constructed of stainless steel, reliable, maintenance free-operation. They can produce cold air using small amounts of compressed air.

Water-cooled chiller systems have typically been designed around entering condenser water temperatures of 85°F with a Optimization of Water - Cooled Chiller – Cooling Tower Combinations The warm water leaving the chilled water coils is pumped to the evaporator of the chiller, where the unwanted heat from the building is transferred by the latent heat of vaporization of the refrigerant. The compressor of the chiller then compresses the refrigerant to a higher pressure, adding the heat of compression in the process. The high pressure refrigerant then moves to the economical condenser water flow of 3.0 USGPM/ton and a 10°F denser, where the unwanted heat is rerange. In recent years, there has been considerable debate on the merits of designing around lower condenser water flow rates with a higher range in order to improve system lifecycle costs. However, two other parameters must also be considered in any analysis - approach and design wet bulb. The question to be answered is: What nominal condenser water flow rate and approach is best from a first cost standpoint as well as from a full load energy standpoint at any given wet bulb.
Heat transfer enhancement and friction factor analysis in tube using conical ...eSAT Journals
Abstract Role of the conical spring array for the heat transfer enhancement and pressure drop change in a pipe with constant heat flux boundary condition was investigated. Three different arrangements of conical spring array inserts were used in the experimental setup. Conical spring inserts with diverging conical spring, converging-diverging conical spring and converging conical spring array inserts arrangements were used. Water was used as a working fluid in the experimental setup. It was found that use of conical spring array inserts arrangement leads to enhancement in heat transfer. Higher heat transfer rate was achieved in the divergent spring array arrangement than the converging-diverging and converging arrangement. However, maximum friction factor is achieved in the diverging spring array insert arrangement. By increasing the Reynolds Number for different turbulator arrangement, the significant increase in Nusselt number was obtained. The enhancement in Nusselt Number for the diverging, converging-diverging, converging conical spring array arrangement was 645% ,431% and 259% respectively. The heat transfer enhancement efficiency can be evaluated based on the power consumption per unit mass of fluid. Heat transfer enhancement efficiencies were found for the divergent spring array arrangement up to 277% and for the convergent-divergent spring arrangement up to 212% and for the convergent spring array arrangement up to 153%.

Automotive engine valve recession (engineering research series)Arul Gnana John
Valve wear has been a serious problem to engine designers and manufacturers for many years. Although new valve materials and production techniques are constantly being developed, these advances have been outpaced by demands for increased engine performance. The drive for reduced oil consumption and exhaust emissions, the phasing out of leaded petrol, reductions in the sulphur content of diesel fuel, and the introduction of alternative fuels such as gas all have implications for valve and seat insert wear.
This book aims to provide the reader with a complete understanding of valve recession, starting with a brief introduction to valve operation, design, and operating conditions such as loading and temperature. A detailed overview of work carried out previously, looking at valve and seat wear, is then given and valve and seat failure case studies are discussed.
A closer look is then taken at work carried out at the University of Sheffield, UK, including the development of purpose-built test apparatus capable of providing a simulation of the wear of valves and seats used in automotive engines. Experimental
investigations are carried out to identify the fundamental valve and seat wear mechanisms, the effect of engine operating parameters on wear, and to rank potential new seat materials.
An important aspect of research is the industrial implementation of the results and the provision of suitable design tools. A design procedure is outlined, which encapsulates the review of literature, analysis of failed specimens, and bench test work. This includes a semi-empirical model for predicting valve recession run in an iterative software programme called RECESS, as well as flow charts to be used to reduce the likelihood of recession occurring during the design process and to offer solutions to
problems that do occur.
Intake and exhaust valves are very important engine components that are used to control the flow of intake and exhaust
gases in internal combustion engines. They are used to seal the working space inside the cylinder against the manifolds;
and are opened and closed by means of what is known as the valve train mechanism.. These valves are loaded by spring
forces and subjected to thermal loading due to high temperature and pressure inside the cylinder.

Flow Investigation inside A Curved Square DuctIJERA Editor
This paper presents the results of an experimental work with measurement of wall static pressure of 90°C shaped Curved duct. The test duct is made up of transparent perspex sheets to facilitate the flow visualization study. The duct has an inlet to exit area ratio of 1.0 with centerline distance of 750 mm. The inlet aspect ratio of the test duct has been fixed at 1.0. The velocities for the proposed investigations are to be measured by using a Pitot tube.Wall pressures are measured with the help of an inclinedmanometer with the inclination of 35°. The manometer had two tubes emanating from it: one left open to the atmosphere and the other connected to the steel pipes attached to the four walls of the curved duct. The difference in the readings helped us calculate the static pressure and thereby the normalized pressure. Wall pressure distribution along the curved and parallel walls of the duct at 0°, 22.5°, 45°, 67.5° and 90° measuring sections was measured. All the experimental data has been processed by an Intel i3 CPU, 3 GB RAM PC and analyzed to give the distribution of static pressure in the square duct.The main purpose of this investigation is to show the development of secondary flow which happens when the flow takes place through the bend in the curvature. This secondary flow arises as a result of a centrifugal force acting when the flow moves through the bend. The investigation is carried out at three different velocities 20 m/s, 40 m/s and 60 m/s. The distribution of normalized pressure which is the ratio of static pressure to the dynamic pressure is mapped and shown in the form of contours by using the software package SURFER.The trend of wall static pressure development on the walls of C shaped duct shows that as the flow proceeds towards the curvature, there exists a high pressure gradient between the outside face and inside face due the centrifugal force acting along the curvature. This shows the bulk shifting of flow towards the inside face. This is due to the generation of secondary motion in a plane perpendicular to the primary flow.
A Review on Comparison between Shell And Tube Heat Exchanger And Helical Coil...ijiert bestjournal
The curved shape of the tube causes the flowing fluid to experience centrifugal force. The
extent of centrifugal force experienced depends on the local axial velocity of the fluid particle
and radius of curvature of the coil. The fluid particles flowing at the core of the pipe have
higher velocities than those flowing near to the pipe wall. Thus the fluid particles flowing
close to the tube wall experience a lower centrifugal force than the fluid particles flowing in
the tube core. This causes the fluid from the core region to be pushed towards the outer wall.
This stream bifurcates at the wall and drives the fluid towards the inner wall along the tube
periphery, causing generation of counter-rotating vortices called secondary flows which
produce additional transport of the fluid over the cross section of the pipe. This additional
convective transport increases heat transfer and the pressure drop when compared to that in a
straight tube.

Experimental studies on pressure drop in a sinusoidal plate heat exchangereSAT Journals
Abstract The corrugated plate heat exchangers are widely used in food and pharmaceutical industries. Sinusoidal plate heat exchangers are one of the types of corrugated plate heat exchanger. Limited research work has been carried out in this type of plate heat exchanger. In the present investigation, experimental studies have been carried out in a sinusoidal corrugated plate heat exchanger with water as the test fluid. The plate heat exchanger is fabricated with two stainless steel sheets having a thickness of 1 mm forming a test channel with a clearance of 5 mm and of length 30cm. 3 such plate heat exchangers have been fabricated with corrugation angles of 30, 40 and 50 degrees. It has been observed from the experimental results that the corrugation angle is mainly affecting the pressure drop and the friction factor. As the corrugation angle is increases, the pressure drop of the fluid is found to increase, which results in decrease in friction factor. These observations have been discussed in the paper. Keywords: sinusoidal plate heat exchanger, corrugation angle, pressure drop, and friction factor

A Computational Investigation of Flow Structure Within a Sinuous DuctIJERA Editor
In the present investigation the distribution of mean velocity are experimentally studied on three constant area
rectangular curved ducts with an aspect ratio of 2.4. First one is C-shape, second one is S-shape and third one
is a DS-shape duct. The experiment is carried out at mass averaged mean velocity of 40m/s for all the ducts.
The velocity distribution shows for C-duct, the bulk flow shifting from outer wall to the inner wall along the
flow passage and for S-duct, the bulk flow shifting from outer wall to the inner wall in the first half and from
inner wall to the outer wall in the second half along the flow passage of curved ducts are very instinct. Due to
the imbalance of centrifugal force and radial pressure gradient, secondary motions in the forms of counter
rotating vortices have been generated within both the curved duct. For DS-duct the velocity distributions shows
the Bulk of flow shifting from inner watt to outer wall in the first bend and third bend of the duct and outer wall
to inner wall in the second bend and forth bend of the duct along the flow passage is very instinct. Flow at end
of the DS-duct is purely uniform in nature due to non existence of secondary motion. The experimental results
then were numerically validated with the help of Fluent, which shows a good agreement between the
experimental and predicted results for all the ducts
CFD Simulation and Analysis of Fluid Flow Parameters within a Y-Shaped Branch...IOSR Journals
Plumbing system use pipe fittings to connect straight pipe or tubing section for regulating or measuring fluid flow. Y (wye)-shape fitting is one of the important component in the plumbing system. A wye branch allows splitting a branch line equally in two directions. The opening sizes can vary for different situations for instance in situation where a large main line needs to be split into two smaller branches. The wye shape fitting will convert into T shape fitting when the included angle between two pipe branches is 180°. In the present work, effect of angle of turn/bend for a Y-shape pipe will be studied computationally using ANSYS CFX software. For the analysis, all the three pipe branches of 1 inch internal diameter are selected along with equal length so that only the effect of bend angle at 450, 600, 900 and 1800 can be studied. Water as a fluid is selected which flows through the plumbing system. The effect of bend angle, pipe diameter, pipe length, Reynolds number on the resistance coefficient is studied. It was observed that resistance coefficient vary with the change in flow

The effect of addition of mono fibers and hybrid fibers on the mechanical properties of concrete mixture is studied in the present
investigation. Steel fibers of 1% and polypropylene fibers 0.036% were added individually to the concrete mixture as mono fibers and
then they were added together to form a hybrid fiber reinforced concrete. Mechanical properties such as compressive, split tensile and
flexural strength were determined. The results show that hybrid fibers improve the compressive strength marginally as compared to
mono fibers. Whereas, hybridization improves split tensile strength and flexural strength noticeably.

of material management. In construction project operation, often there is a project cost variance in terms of the material, equipments,
manpower, subcontractor, overhead cost, and general condition. Material is the main component in construction projects. Therefore,
if the material management is not properly managed it will create a project cost variance. Project cost can be controlled by taking
corrective actions towards the cost variance. Therefore a methodology is used to diagnose and evaluate the procurement process
involved in material management and launch a continuous improvement was developed and applied. A thorough study was carried
out along with study of cases, surveys and interviews to professionals involved in this area. As a result, a methodology for diagnosis
and improvement was proposed and tested in selected projects. The results obtained show that the main problem of procurement is
related to schedule delays and lack of specified quality for the project. To prevent this situation it is often necessary to dedicate
important resources like money, personnel, time, etc. To monitor and control the process. A great potential for improvement was
detected if state of the art technologies such as, electronic mail, electronic data interchange (EDI), and analysis were applied to the
procurement process. These helped to eliminate the root causes for many types of problems that were detected.

Life cycle cost analysis of overlay for an urban road in bangaloreeSAT Journals
Abstract
Pavements are subjected to severe condition of stresses and weathering effects from the day they are constructed and opened to traffic
mainly due to its fatigue behavior and environmental effects. Therefore, pavement rehabilitation is one of the most important
components of entire road systems. This paper highlights the design of concrete pavement with added mono fibers like polypropylene,
steel and hybrid fibres for a widened portion of existing concrete pavement and various overlay alternatives for an existing
bituminous pavement in an urban road in Bangalore. Along with this, Life cycle cost analyses at these sections are done by Net
Present Value (NPV) method to identify the most feasible option. The results show that though the initial cost of construction of
concrete overlay is high, over a period of time it prove to be better than the bituminous overlay considering the whole life cycle cost.
The economic analysis also indicates that, out of the three fibre options, hybrid reinforced concrete would be economical without
compromising the performance of the pavement.

Laboratory investigation of expansive soil stabilized with natural inorganic ...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Soil stabilization has proven to be one of the oldest techniques to improve the soil properties. Literature review conducted revealed
that uses of natural inorganic stabilizers are found to be one of the best options for soil stabilization. In this regard an attempt has
been made to evaluate the influence of RBI-81 stabilizer on properties of black cotton soil through laboratory investigations. Black
cotton soil with varying percentages of RBI-81 viz., 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5 percent were studied for moisture density relationships
and strength behaviour of soils. Also the effect of curing period was evaluated as literature review clearly emphasized the strength
gain of soils stabilized with RBI-81 over a period of time. The results obtained shows that the unconfined compressive strength of
specimens treated with RBI-81 increased approximately by 250% for a curing period of 28 days as compared to virgin soil. Further
the CBR value improved approximately by 400%. The studies indicated an increasing trend for soil strength behaviour with
increasing percentage of RBI-81 suggesting its potential applications in soil stabilization.
Influence of reinforcement on the behavior of hollow concrete block masonry p...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Reinforced masonry was developed to exploit the strength potential of masonry and to solve its lack of tensile strength. Experimental
and analytical studies have been carried out to investigate the effect of reinforcement on the behavior of hollow concrete block
masonry prisms under compression and to predict ultimate failure compressive strength. In the numerical program, three dimensional
non-linear finite elements (FE) model based on the micro-modeling approach is developed for both unreinforced and reinforced
masonry prisms using ANSYS (14.5). The proposed FE model uses multi-linear stress-strain relationships to model the non-linear
behavior of hollow concrete block, mortar, and grout. Willam-Warnke’s five parameter failure theory has been adopted to model the
failure of masonry materials. The comparison of the numerical and experimental results indicates that the FE models can successfully
capture the highly nonlinear behavior of the physical specimens and accurately predict their strength and failure mechanisms.

Influence of compaction energy on soil stabilized with chemical stabilizereSAT Journals
Abstract
Increase in traffic along with heavier magnitude of wheel loads cause rapid deterioration in pavements. There is a need to improve
density, strength of soil subgrade and other pavement layers. In this study an attempt is made to improve the properties of locally
available loamy soil using twin approaches viz., i) increasing the compaction of soil and ii) treating the soil with chemical stabilizer.
Laboratory studies are carried out on both untreated and treated soil samples compacted by different compaction efforts. Studies
show that increase in compaction effort results in increase in density of soil. However in soil treated with chemical stabilizer, rate of
increase in density is not significant. The soil treated with chemical stabilizer exhibits improvement in both strength and performance
properties.

Evaluation of punching shear in flat slabseSAT Journals
Abstract
Flat-slab construction has been widely used in construction today because of many advantages that it offers. The basic philosophy in
the design of flat slab is to consider only gravity forces; this method ignores the effect of punching shear due to unbalanced moments
at the slab column junction which is critical. An attempt has been made to generate generalized design sheets which accounts both
punching shear due to gravity loads and unbalanced moments for cases (a) interior column; (b) edge column (bending perpendicular
to shorter edge); (c) edge column (bending parallel to shorter edge); (d) corner column. These design sheets are prepared as per
codal provisions of IS 456-2000. These design sheets will be helpful in calculating the shear reinforcement to be provided at the
critical section which is ignored in many design offices. Apart from its usefulness in evaluating punching shear and the necessary
shear reinforcement, the design sheets developed will enable the designer to fix the depth of flat slab during the initial phase of the
design.

Estimation of surface runoff in nallur amanikere watershed using scs cn methodeSAT Journals
Abstract
The development of watershed aims at productive utilization of all the available natural resources in the entire area extending from
ridge line to stream outlet. The per capita availability of land for cultivation has been decreasing over the years. Therefore, water and
the related land resources must be developed, utilized and managed in an integrated and comprehensive manner. Remote sensing and
GIS techniques are being increasingly used for planning, management and development of natural resources. The study area, Nallur
Amanikere watershed geographically lies between 110 38’ and 110 52’ N latitude and 760 30’ and 760 50’ E longitude with an area of
415.68 Sq. km. The thematic layers such as land use/land cover and soil maps were derived from remotely sensed data and overlayed
through ArcGIS software to assign the curve number on polygon wise. The daily rainfall data of six rain gauge stations in and around
the watershed (2001-2011) was used to estimate the daily runoff from the watershed using Soil Conservation Service - Curve Number
(SCS-CN) method. The runoff estimated from the SCS-CN model was then used to know the variation of runoff potential with different
land use/land cover and with different soil conditions.

Abstract The nonlinear Static procedure also well known as pushover analysis is method where in monotonically increasing loads are applied to the structure till the structure is unable to resist any further load. It is a popular tool for seismic performance evaluation of existing and new structures. In literature lot of research has been carried out on conventional pushover analysis and after knowing deficiency efforts have been made to improve it. But actual test results to verify the analytically obtained pushover results are rarely available. It has been found that some amount of variation is always expected to exist in seismic demand prediction of pushover analysis. Initial study is carried out by considering user defined hinge properties and default hinge length. Attempt is being made to assess the variation of pushover analysis results by considering user defined hinge properties and various hinge length formulations available in literature and results compared with experimentally obtained results based on test carried out on a G+2 storied RCC framed structure. For the present study two geometric models viz bare frame and rigid frame model is considered and it is found that the results of pushover analysis are very sensitive to geometric model and hinge length adopted.

Abstract
Depletion of natural resources and aggregate quarries for the road construction is a serious problem to procure materials. Hence
recycling or reuse of material is beneficial. On emphasizing development in sustainable construction in the present era, recycling of
asphalt pavements is one of the effective and proven rehabilitation processes. For the laboratory investigations reclaimed asphalt
pavement (RAP) from NH-4 and crumb rubber modified binder (CRMB-55) was used. Foundry waste was used as a replacement to
conventional filler. Laboratory tests were conducted on asphalt concrete mixes with 30, 40, 50, and 60 percent replacement with RAP.
These test results were compared with conventional mixes and asphalt concrete mixes with complete binder extracted RAP
aggregates. Mix design was carried out by Marshall Method. The Marshall Tests indicated highest stability values for asphalt
concrete (AC) mixes with 60% RAP. The optimum binder content (OBC) decreased with increased in RAP in AC mixes. The Indirect
Tensile Strength (ITS) for AC mixes with RAP also was found to be higher when compared to conventional AC mixes at 300C.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Abstract
In many engineering applications like heat exchanger, radiator, evaporator, nuclear power plant and thermal power plant,
arrangement of tubes is very crucial. Fluid elastic instability forms the basis for deciding the type of arrangement and tube
spacing but the phenomenon of vortex induced vibration is random in nature. Tube spacing also plays a critical role in different
types of arrangement. Different type of application requires different tube spacing and the range of tube spacing vary from 1 to 6.
Vortex Induced Vibration in cross flow around the inline and staggered arrangement of the tube arrays is experimentally studied
for varying P/d (tube spacing) ratio. It is observed that with the increase in the velocity, the amplitude displacement increases. As
the amplitude displacement of the tube reduces, the pitch over diameter ratio is increased from 2 to 4. It is also observed that
between inline and staggered arrangement, the amplitude displacement of staggered arrangement is more compared to inline
arrangement for same tube spacing.

1. INTRODUCTION
The interaction between the fluid flow and the cylindrical
structures play an important role in many applications of
engineering. Due to its practical importance, flow around
the cylindrical structures has been studied. The fluid flow
around the cylindrical structures exhibit various physical
phenomena like turbulence buffeting, vortex induced
vibration, fluid-elastic instability and acoustic resonance
which may severely damage the cylindrical structures. In
heat exchanger, the cylindrical tubes are placed in close
proximity to one another and there are large numbers of
tubes. The forces experienced by the cylindrical tubes and
the flow field around the tubes are entirely different
compared to the single tube immersed in the fluid flow.
Vortex induced vibration is the major consideration since
heat exchanger are designed keeping in mind the threshold
for fluid-elastic instability.
Grover and Weaver [10] used a 19-tube array with only one
tube flexible and the other was made rigid. They found out
that vibrations induced by the fluid flow were responsible
for the instability of the single flexible cylinder. They
concluded that the mechanism which was responsible for the
instability of a single flexible cylinder is the same
mechanism leading to the instability of an entire flexible
array. Chunlei et al [6] studied numerically the vortex
shedding characteristic and forces acting on the tube in an
inline cylinder array. They considered flow to be laminar
and studied the effect of tube spacing on the array.
Computations were carried out for a six row inline tube
bank. They concluded that by increasing the spacing makes
the flow more asymmetric and induces vortex shedding.
Vortex shedding starts from the last cylinder and proceeding
upstream. E. Longatte et al. [8] studied the numerical
methods for investigating the effects of flow induced
vibration on the tube bundle motion in presence of fluid at
rest and single phase cross-flows. They used arbitrary
Langrange Euler formulation for the fluid computation to
simulate thermo-hydraulics and mechanics. The main
purpose was to provide a numerical estimate of the critical
flow velocity for the threshold of fluid-elastic instability of
tube bundle without experimental investigation. They
validated their results with the available experimental data
obtained with same configuration. S. Pasto [13] performed
the experiment on freely vibrating circular cylinder in
turbulent and laminar flows. He performed the experiment
in the wind tunnel by varying the roughness of the cylinder
and mass damping parameter and studied the behavior of the
cylinder in terms of Reynolds number.
2. EXPERIMENTAL DETAILS
Vortex induced vibration is a very complex phenomena and
the vibration amplitude of the tube is affected by many
parameters. In order to find out the amplitude displacement
of the flexible tube for vortex induced vibration phenomena,
many experiments have been performed. In this paper, effect
of tube spacing, i.e. pitch over diameter ratio, is found out
experimentally. Experiments were conducted on wind tunnel
where maximum attainable velocity was 25 m/s. Effect of
pitch over diameter ratio has been found out for both the
inline and staggered arrangement. Since many applications
of engineering lie below the ratio, the pitch over diameter
has been selected 2, 3 and 4.The tube end is supported at the
top surface of the test section of wind tunnel and the other
end is free. Cantilever tube bundles are subjected to air flow.
The support has been taken cantilever because natural
frequency of cantilever tube is very less as compared to the
other type of end supports and hence its stiffness. Thus, it
maintains the less difference between the natural frequency
and the forcing frequency of the tubes.

2.1 Sample Tested
The sample tested in the tunnel is an array of circular hollow
cylinder 275 mm long with a diameter of 10 mm and its
inner diameter is 9.5 mm. The material selected for the tube
is Copper. The sample has been transversely placed with
regard to the wind direction from the top section of the
tunnel. The sample contains of an array of 9 cylinders
placed in a 3x3 configuration for inline arrangement and an
array of 8 cylinders arranged in staggered configuration to
form a staggered arrangement. Of all the nine cylinders,
only the cylinder in the center of the first row is flexible
while the other cylinders are made rigid for inline
arrangement. For staggered arrangement, one of the tubes in
the middle row is flexible.
2.2 Arrangement of Tubes
For carrying out this experiment, two different types of
arrangement are mainly used, namely staggered and inline
arrangement. In present case, experiments are carried out on
an inline arrangement. The sample contains of an array of 9
cylinders placed in a 3x3 configuration. Of all the nine
cylinders, only the cylinder in the center of the front row is
flexible while the other cylinders are made rigid.
For inline arrangement, readings are taken at the center tube
which is flexible. For staggered arrangement, one of the
tubes in the middle row is kept flexible; amplitude
displacement is measured at this flexible tube.
2.3 Experimental Setup
The wind tunnel is used to carry the experiment. The block
diagram of the wind tunnel is represented by figure 3. The
wind tunnel has a cross section 30 cm wide and 30 cm high.
The global length of the tunnel, from the inlet to the end of
the tunnel, is about 1000 cm. The values of the velocities are
obtained with the help of Pitot tube and anemometer
arrangement. The maximum velocity attainable is 25 m/s.
For the experiments carried out, velocity was varied from 0
– 20 m/s.
Two different types of arrangement of tube arrays, i.e. inline
and staggered are used to carry out the experiments. For
inline arrangement, nine tubes are used and the amplitude
displacement of the center tube is found out with the help of
the load cell arrangement. Eight tubes are used for staggered
arrangement and the amplitude displacement of the tube on
the right side from the direction of the flow is obtained. The
displacement amplitude of the tube is indicated by the strain
indicator which is connected with the load cell. Results
obtained from the experiments performed for both the
arrangements are shown in the table 1 and 2. The data that

For inline arrangement, graph of Amplitude displacement versus velocity for different P/d ratio has been shown in figure 4. As
observed from the graph, for P/d ratio = 2, displacement amplitude is maximum compared to P/d ratio = 3 and P/d ratio = 4. Also,
it is observed that, with the increase in the velocity the amplitude displacement of the tube increases.

Chart -2: Displacement Amplitude of the flexible tube for staggered arrangement
For staggered arrangement, graph of Amplitude
displacement versus velocity for different P/d ratio has been
shown in figure 5. As observed from the graph, for P/d ratio
= 2, displacement amplitude is maximum compared to P/d
ratio = 3 and P/d ratio =4. Similar conclusions can be
derived from this graph, but the amplitude displacement of
staggered arrangement is more compared to inline
arrangement.
Based on the results obtained from the experiments
conducted, it can be observed that for For inline
arrangement, maximum amplitude displacement is measured
for the p/d ratio equal to 2. The value of amplitude
displacement goes on decreasing as the value of p/d ratio
increases from 2 to 4.It can be seen that for staggered
arrangement, results obtained are similar to inline
arrangement i.e. the maximum value is measured for p/d
ratio equal to 2 and the value of displacement goes on
decreasing as the p/d ratio increases from 2 to 4. But when
the results are compared for staggered and inline
arrangement, the value of displacement amplitude for
staggered arrangement is more compared to that of inline
arrangement. As seen in the table, for P/D ratio = 2, the
maximum value of displacement amplitude is 15 με for
staggered arrangement while for inline arrangement the
maximum value is 13 με.

3. REGRESSION ANALYSIS
Regression analysis is a statistical tool for investigation of
relationship between the variables. Regression analysis tool
is used to understand the statistical dependence of one
variable on other variable. When the effect of multiple
variables on the one influencing variable is analyzed that is
called as multiple regressions. Multiple regression analysis
is a technique that allows additional factor to enter the
analysis separately so that the effect of each variable can be
estimated. It is valuable for quantifying the impact of
various simultaneous influences upon a single dependent
variable. Because of omitted variables with simple
regression, multiple regression analysis is often essential
even when the effect of one variable on the influencing
variable is to be studied. Multiple regression analysis is
capable of dealing with an arbitrarily large number of
explanatory variables. Multiple regression analysis is
capable of dealing with a randomly large number of
explanatory variables. In the present study displacement
amplitude of the flexible tube in an array of tube is
dependent on the velocity of the fluid (air), type of
arrangement of the tube array and pitch over diameter ratio
of the array. The displacement amplitude of the tube is
dependent variable and velocity of the fluid (air), type of
arrangement of the tube array and pitch over diameter ratio
are influencing variables. The effect of influencing variable
on the dependent variable can be estimated by multiple
regression analysis. The effect of influencing variable on the
dependent variable can be estimated using experiments also.
The experimental results can be compared with the result
obtained by the regression analysis.
The data generated from experiments is collected and
tabulated using Microsoft Excel software. The graphs are
plotted to estimate the effect of influencing variable on
dependent variable. The effect of influencing variable is
estimated experimentally. Multiple regression analysis is
applied on the data with the help of Microsoft Excel
worksheet. The relationship between influencing variable
and dependent variable is estimated. Relation between
displacement amplitude and influencing variables, velocity
of the fluid (air), type of arrangement of the tube array and
pitch over diameter ratio is estimated. From the
experimental data obtained, it is observed that displacement
amplitude of the tube is affected by all the three parameters
velocity of the fluid (air), type of arrangement of the tube
array and pitch over diameter ratio. An empirical relation
between displacement amplitude and the influencing
variables is obtained.
The values of the influencing variables, velocity of the fluid
(air), type of arrangement of the tube array and pitch over
diameter ratio can be selected from obtained working range
for these parameters. The value for displacement amplitude
can be obtained from empirical relation from values of
influencing variables, which are selected from the working
range. Thus, the predicted value of displacement amplitude
is helpful in selecting suitable parameters of the tube array
related to vortex induced vibration. The values for
displacement amplitude of the tube generated by regression
analysis are compared by the values obtained from the
experiments conducted. For carrying out the multiple
regression analysis, software named DATAFIT is used.
Using DATAFIT software, multiple regression analysis is
carried out for two different types of arrangement namely
inline arrangement and staggered arrangement. Since the
type of arrangements does not change with time, this
parameter is not considered in the empirical equation
developed. The value of displacement amplitude obtained
from the empirical relation is shown in the Table 1 for inline
arrangement and in the Table 2 for staggered arrangement.

The results obtained from the empirical relation are
represented in the form of graphs to visualize the results and
conclude the effect of the influential variables on the
dependent variables. The results are plotted for velocity
versus displacement amplitude while keeping the pitch over
diameter ratio constant and pitch over diameter ratio versus
amplitude displacement while keeping the velocity constant.
Following tables represent the amplitude displacement
obtained from the multiple regression analysis. In Table 3,
the pitch over diameter ratio is kept constant and the
amplitude displacement is calculated with respect to change
in velocity.

Chart -5: Displacement Amplitude for different pitch over diameter ratio obtained from regression analysis
From the graph, it can be observed that the displacement
amplitude of the tube increases with the increase velocity. It
can also be seen that maximum amplitude displacement is
obtained for pitch over diameter ratio equal to 2. Also the
value of amplitude displacement decreases with the increase
in the pitch over diameter ratio.
4. CONCLUSION
Experiments are carried out on inline and staggered
arrangement of tube arrays. For inline arrangement, nine
tubes are used and the amplitude displacement of the center
tube is found out with the help of the load cell arrangement.
For staggered arrangement, eight tubes are used and the
amplitude displacement of the tube on the right side from
the direction of the flow is considered. For both, inline and
staggered arrangement, amplitude displacement is measured
for three different pitches over diameter ratios (p/d), which
are 2, 3 and 4.
Following results are concluded based on the results of the
experiments conduced
1. It is observed from the graphs that the results
obtained from the experiments conducted and the
results obtained from the regression analysis are in
close agreement with one another
2. For inline arrangement, maximum amplitude
displacement is measured for the p/d ratio equal to
2. The value of amplitude displacement goes on
decreasing as the value of p/d ratio increases from 2
to 4. Similar results are observed in case of
regression analysis.
3. For staggered arrangement, results similar to inline
arrangement are observed i.e. the maximum value is
measured for p/d ratio equal to 2 and the value of
displacement goes on decreasing as the p/d ratio
increases from 2 to 4. As we can observe from chart
5, it can be observed that similar trend is observed.
Also maximum displacement amplitude is obtained
for p/d ratio equal to 2.
4. When the results are compared for staggered and
inline arrangement, the value of displacement
amplitude for staggered arrangement is more
compared to that of inline arrangement. As seen in
the table, for P/D ratio = 2, the maximum value of
displacement amplitude is 15 µԑ for staggered
arrangement while for inline arrangement the
maximum value is 13 µԑ. Also in regression analysis
the results are in close agreement.
5. It can be concluded that maximum displacement is
obtained in staggered arrangement and it is obtained
in the tube array with least pitch over diameter ratio.
