This document describes a study of gravity-driven film flow along an inclined wall where the physical properties (density, viscosity, thermal conductivity, specific heat) vary with temperature. The study uses similarity transformations to solve the boundary value problem of the governing equations for water, air, and engine oil. Results are presented showing the effect of variable physical properties on flow and heat transfer for a water film with inlet temperatures of 20°C and 60°C.
This document summarizes an experimental investigation into the effects of nonperiodic inlet rotating flow on endwall film cooling in neighboring turbine passages. The experiment compares film cooling effectiveness for three configurations of anticlockwise rotating inlet flow, analyzed using pressure-sensitive painting. Key findings include: 1) Inlet rotating flow influences effectiveness upstream, especially from leakage flows. 2) Effectiveness differs between passages depending on rotating flow core position. 3) Downstream effectiveness is also partly influenced by upstream rotating flow. Rotating inlet flow introduces challenges for film cooling design between neighboring passages in gas turbines.

The document summarizes previous research on mixed convection heat transfer in inclined tubes and describes an experimental study. The study investigated the effects of heat flux, tube inclination angles, and tube diameters on heat transfer for laminar to turbulent air flows in inclined circular tubes under constant wall heat flux. Local and average Nusselt numbers were measured for tube inclinations of 30°, 45°, and 60° and diameters of 0.75, 1.5, and 2 inches. The results showed that Nusselt numbers increased with higher heat flux and as the tube moved from 60° to 30° inclination, and decreased with larger diameter to length ratios.

The document discusses the phenomenon of rewetting, where a liquid comes into contact with a hot surface. Initially, a vapor layer forms preventing contact between the liquid and hot surface. As the surface cools, the vapor layer collapses and the liquid wets the surface, increasing heat transfer. The study analyzes rewetting during emergency cooling following loss of coolant accidents and quenching applications. A test facility uses an impinging liquid jet on a heated metal foil to observe rewetting front propagation and surface temperature changes, evaluating how parameters like initial temperature and nozzle spacing affect rewetting velocity and heat flux.

ABSTRACT:
Vortex tubes are simple and common devices which separates a high-pressure gas flow as two different lower gas flows. One of the outlets has a higher temperature than the inlet high pressure gas and other outlet has lower. Most common types of the vortex tubes are counter and parallel flow types. In counter flow type vortex tubes the cold and hot outlets are on opposite sides and in parallel flow type both the outlets are on the same side. Since it is a simple, well known, compact, portable, highly reliable and has a few initial costs, it could be desirable for the specific heating or cooling and refrigeration applications.

FINITE ELEMENT THERMAL ANALYSIS OF DEEP BOX-GIRDERSIAEME Publication
A three-dimensional thermal analysis using the finite element method was conducted in this research to evaluate the heat conduction in deep concrete box-girder bridges considering the temperature change of air, the thermal radiation from the sun and the speed of the wind. The current finite element analysis has predicted the concrete temperatures effectively with temperature errors ranged between 0.1 oC and 1.7 oC. The proposed finite element model was then used to evaluate the distribution of temperature in deep concrete box-girders considering the weather conditions of Gaziantep, Turkey. The weather data including solar radiation, air temperature and wind speed for a hot summer day were recorded from a specially installed weather station in the campus of the University of Gaziantep. The results showed that the AASHTO's gradient model was almost identical with the predicted temperature gradients at the top and the bottom surfaces and along the clear depth of the webs. However, the behavior along the top 1 m was different.
This document summarizes a student project on predicting turbulent flow dynamics and heat transfer in a jet impingement cooling system. The students conducted a literature review on previous studies of jet impingement cooling and identified gaps such as limited studies predicting both vortex patterns and temperature distributions under varying parameters. The objectives are to assess turbulence models, predict vortex shedding and temperatures in the system, and investigate effects of parameters like Reynolds number, duct height, and jet position on heat transfer. The methodology involves learning OpenFOAM software, studying turbulence models like RANS, LES and DES, modeling system geometry, and using an appropriate model to predict heat/flow structures. Validation cases like lid-driven cavity and backward-facing step are used to
Experimental study of the structure of a thermal plume inside a rectangular t...IOSR Journals
The objective of this work is to experimentally simulate a plume developing inside a horizontal
tunnel. The experimental device used in this simulation is essentially constituted of a hot disk, a rectangular
tunnel and a ventilation system. The hot disk is heated by Joule effect to a constant and uniform temperature,
and placed inside the tunnel. The hot source generates a thermal plume. We first studied the evolution of the
thermal plume without ventilation system. The study of the average and fluctuating thermal and dynamic fields
shows three zones during the vertical evolution of the free plume. A first zone close to the source, serving to the
plume supply in fresh air, is characterized by the apparition of three escapes of the thermal plume. Followed by
a second zone where the main escape undergoes a contraction. Finally, a third zone where the thermal plume
accumulates and undergoes a flow upstream named backlayering and a flow downstream that borders the
ceiling to leave by the free part of the tunnel.
This document describes a simulation method for optimizing the cooling water slot structure in continuous casting molds. It involves using ANSYS software to simulate the temperature field in a 3D mold model combined with a submerged entry nozzle to determine the maximum heat flux density on the mold copper plate. This heat flux value is then applied to a copper plate element model to simulate thermal stresses and strains. Different water slot structure plans are analyzed to identify the most reasonable design based on temperatures, deformations and stresses. The goal is to confirm design factors that reduce thermal stresses on the mold copper plate during continuous casting.

This document summarizes a study that developed a mathematical model to simulate the heat transfer during the collision of a liquid Al-33 wt.% Cu droplet impacting a 304 stainless steel substrate. The model simultaneously considers fluid flow and heat transfer in the liquid droplet, surrounding gas, and substrate, including the contact resistance between the liquid alloy and substrate. Simulation results correctly predicted the total droplet spread and variation in interlamellar spacing along the droplet radius, matching experimental measurements. The comprehensive model incorporates many factors influencing droplet solidification, including cooling during flight, fluid flow accounting for surface tension, coupled solidification and heat transfer, and variation of physical properties with temperature.
A Detailed Review on Artificial Roughness Geometries for Optimizing Thermo-Hy...IJMER
It is well known fact that the heat transfer coefficient between the absorber surface of solar air collector & flowing fluid i.e. air can be improved by providing artificial roughness geometry on heat transfer surface (absorber surface).In this way the Thermal efficiency is increased. But at the same time due to roughness geometry pumping power of solar air collector in increased due to fictional losses in duct. So it necessary to examine the shape, size & flow pattern of various roughness elements to get maximum efficiency with minimum frictional losses. Therefore the selection of roughness geometry has to be based on the parameter that takes into account both Thermal & Hydraulic (friction) performance i.e. Thermo-hydraulic Performance of Solar air collector. Number of roughness elements has been investigated on heat transfer & friction characteristics of solar air collectors. In this paper, reviews of various artificial roughness elements used as passive heat transfer techniques, in order to improve Thermo-hydraulic performance of solar air collectors is reviewed & presented. Correlations developed by various researchers with the help of experimental results for heat transfer & friction factor for solar air collector by taking different roughness geometries are given & these correlations are useful to predict the Thermo-hydraulic performance of solar air collector having roughened ducts. The objective of this paper is also the awareness of effect of various types’ roughness geometries on heat
This document discusses mechanical properties of materials as determined through tensile testing. It describes three main regions in a stress-strain curve: the elastic region where deformation is recoverable, the plastic region where permanent deformation occurs, and the failure point where the material fractures. Key properties like elastic modulus, yield strength, tensile strength, and ductility can be determined from the stress-strain curve generated through tensile testing, where a material sample is stretched until failure. The properties influence a material's behavior under mechanical loads and are important considerations for engineering design and manufacturing.

This document discusses research into the temperature-induced curling behavior of prestressed concrete railroad crossties. Through finite element modeling and laboratory/field experimentation, the researchers found that:
1) Concrete crossties experience curl (warping) due to temperature gradients across their depth, with positive gradients causing upward curl and negative gradients causing downward curl.
2) The amount of curl is directly related to the magnitude of the temperature gradient, with gradients of up to 30°F observed to cause curl of up to 10 mils.
3) Field testing revealed that temperature-induced curling can significantly change the center bending moments experienced by crossties under load, with moments varying by up to 50% due to

This document summarizes a numerical study of two-dimensional natural convection in a square enclosure with differentially heated walls. The study evaluates the effects of variable properties of air, including density, thermal conductivity, and viscosity, on heat transfer rates and flow patterns using a finite volume method. Key findings include:
1) Heat transfer rates decrease when accounting for decreasing thermal conductivity with increasing temperature but are unaffected by variable viscosity.
2) Variable density has a significant impact on results and invalidates the constant density assumption for some cases.
3) Constant property assumptions are better for higher Rayleigh numbers.
4) Heat transfer increases with the addition of slip boundary conditions, especially at higher Rayleigh numbers.

A coupled thermal-mechanical model is used to sequentially analyze the temperature distribution during welding and resulting thermal residual stresses. Both the heat input from the tool shoulder and pin are considered. The model predicts the highest tensile stresses occur in the longitudinal direction within the heat affected zone. Various process parameters are analyzed, including bottom surface heat transfer conditions and thermal contact conductance at interfaces. The results agree well with published experimental data.

Applications of artificial Intelligence in Mechanical Engineering.pdfAtif Razi
Historically, mechanical engineering has relied heavily on human expertise and empirical methods to solve complex problems. With the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA), the field took its first steps towards digitization. These tools allowed engineers to simulate and analyze mechanical systems with greater accuracy and efficiency. However, the sheer volume of data generated by modern engineering systems and the increasing complexity of these systems have necessitated more advanced analytical tools, paving the way for AI.
AI offers the capability to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions with a level of speed and accuracy unattainable by traditional methods. This has profound implications for mechanical engineering, enabling more efficient design processes, predictive maintenance strategies, and optimized manufacturing operations. AI-driven tools can learn from historical data, adapt to new information, and continuously improve their performance, making them invaluable in tackling the multifaceted challenges of modern mechanical engineering.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELijaia
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Rainfall intensity duration frequency curve statistical analysis and modeling...bijceesjournal
Using data from 41 years in Patna’ India’ the study’s goal is to analyze the trends of how often it rains on a weekly, seasonal, and annual basis (1981−2020). First, utilizing the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curve and the relationship by statistically analyzing rainfall’ the historical rainfall data set for Patna’ India’ during a 41 year period (1981−2020), was evaluated for its quality. Changes in the hydrologic cycle as a result of increased greenhouse gas emissions are expected to induce variations in the intensity, length, and frequency of precipitation events. One strategy to lessen vulnerability is to quantify probable changes and adapt to them. Techniques such as log-normal, normal, and Gumbel are used (EV-I). Distributions were created with durations of 1, 2, 3, 6, and 24 h and return times of 2, 5, 10, 25, and 100 years. There were also mathematical correlations discovered between rainfall and recurrence interval.
Findings: Based on findings, the Gumbel approach produced the highest intensity values, whereas the other approaches produced values that were close to each other. The data indicates that 461.9 mm of rain fell during the monsoon season’s 301st week. However, it was found that the 29th week had the greatest average rainfall, 92.6 mm. With 952.6 mm on average, the monsoon season saw the highest rainfall. Calculations revealed that the yearly rainfall averaged 1171.1 mm. Using Weibull’s method, the study was subsequently expanded to examine rainfall distribution at different recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, and 25 years. Rainfall and recurrence interval mathematical correlations were also developed. Further regression analysis revealed that short wave irrigation, wind direction, wind speed, pressure, relative humidity, and temperature all had a substantial influence on rainfall.
Originality and value: The results of the rainfall IDF curves can provide useful information to policymakers in making appropriate decisions in managing and minimizing floods in the study area.
