Critical heat flux enhancement in pool boiling with al2 o3 water nanofluid
Abstract Boiling is an important phase change phenomena as it plays a crucial role in the design of high heat flux system like boilers, heat exchangers, microscopic heat transfer devices. However boiling phenomenon is limited by critical heat flux. At critical heat flux material of heated surface suffers physical damage due to lower heat transfer resulting from thin film formed over the surface. Now a days Nanofluid which is colloidal suspension of nanoparticle in base fluid is highlighted as innovative techniques to enhance critical heat flux. In the present study Al2O3 nanoparticles were characterized by using SEM and XRD analysis. From SEM images it was seen that nanoparticle has spherical morphology, and from XRD analysis average nanoparticle size determined was 29.48 nm. Five different nanofluids of concentration range from 3 gram/liter to 15 gram/liter were prepared. Critical heat flux (CHF) of each Al2O3-water nanofluid in pool boiling is determined on NiCr wire of SWG 28. The minimum critical heat flux enhancement is 30.53% at 3 gram/liter nanofluid compared to critical heat flux of distilled water. The highest critical heat flux enhancement is 72.70 % at 12 gram/liter nanofluid. Critical heat flux of nanofluid increases with increase in concentration of Al2O3 nanoparticle in distilled water up to 12 gram/liter nanofluid. Surface roughness of bare wire was 0.126 μm. Surface roughness of wire sample used in pool boiling of 3 gram/liter nanofluid is 0.299μm and highest surface roughness was 0.715 μm of heater used in pool boiling of 12 gram/liter nanofluid. The Surface roughness measurement results show the evidence of nanoparticle deposition on wire surface and its effect on Critical Heat Flux enhancement. Keywords: Critical heat flux, Nanoparticle, Nanofluid, Concentration, Surface roughness.
Microwave processing questions
The document discusses differences between conventional and microwave heating technologies, the concept of dielectric loss in microwave heating, and achieving heating in ceramics, joining, and cladding operations using microwave processing. Specifically, it notes that microwave heating occurs from the inside out via molecular interaction, is material dependent, and is more energy efficient than conventional heating. It also explains that dielectric loss determines how much electromagnetic energy is converted to heat in a material when exposed to microwaves. Finally, it describes how hybrid heating and susceptor materials are used to achieve uniform heating during microwave processing of ceramics, metals, and coatings. Higher densities in ceramics are achieved through rapid heating which favors densification over grain growth.
Advancement in Turbine Technology
The document discusses technologies for improving gas turbine efficiency through higher operating temperatures. It covers new high-temperature materials like superalloys and ceramics that allow increasing the combustion temperature. It also discusses manufacturing techniques like directional solidification and single crystal growth that enhance material properties. Combined cycle power plants are highlighted as a way to further increase efficiency by capturing waste heat. Challenges of using syngas from gasification as a fuel are also summarized.
IRJET- Thermal Analysis and Optimisation of Ceramic Heating Pads for Small Tu...
This document discusses the thermal analysis and optimization of ceramic heating pads used for stress relieving small tubes. Ceramic heating pads contain nickel-chrome wire and ceramic beads for producing heat up to 1000°C. When used on small tubes, the flat ceramic beads do not allow for complete wrapping. Changing the beads to a curved shape allows for uniform heat transfer and easier wrapping on tubes as small as 30-100mm in diameter. Thermal analysis shows the curved beads can produce temperatures of 1200°C internally and 950°C externally, achieving the required stress relieving temperatures in a more efficient manner.

The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

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 monitoring
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.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

Sintering
- 1. 1 SINTERING 11/11/2014 Ajay Singh B.Tech MSE-NT,Sem-V,Roll No. 03 ajaygsingh16@gmail.com
- 2. 2 Introduction Sintering is defined as the thermal treatment of a powder or compact at a temperature below the melting point of the main constituent, for the purpose of increasing its strength by bonding together of the particles
- 3. 3 Objectives of Sintering -the principal goal of sintering is the reduction of compact porosity - increase of inter particle contact area with time - rounding-off of sharp angles and points of contact - decrease in volume of interconnected pores - continuing isolation of pores - grain growth and decrease in volume of isolated pores
- 4. 4 Stages of Sintering
- 5. 5 Types of sintering: 1.Solid-state sintering where all densification is achieved through changes in particle shape, without particle rearrangement or the presence of liquid. 2.Liquid-phase sintering where some liquid that is present at sintering temperatures aids compaction. Grain rearrangement occurs in the initial stage followed by a solution-reprecipitation stage.
- 6. 6 Types of Sintering Processes 1.Conventional Sintering Process Dense nanostructured ceramic materials are usually obtained by pressing and conventional sintering of nano powders using pressure assisted methods, such as hot pressing, hot isotactic pressing 2. Advanced sintering process Show great potential in ceramics processing Overcomes the problem of grain growth
- 7. 7 Advanced sintering process type 1.Microwave sintering Microwave energy is a form of electromagnetic energy with the frequency range of 300MHz to 300 GHz. Microwave heating is a process in which the materials couple with microwaves, absorb the electromagnetic energy volumetrically, and transform into heat. Advantages a)reduced energy consumption b)very rapid heating rates c)decreased sintering temperatures d)improved physical and mechanical properties
- 8. 8 Simple microwave ovens used in microwave sintering
- 9. 9 2.Spark plasma sintering Instead of using an external heating source, a pulsed direct current is allowed to pass through the electrically conducting pressure die and, in appropriate cases, also through the sample. Die also acts as a heating source and that the sample is heated from both outside and inside.
- 10. 10
- 11. 11 3. High frequency induction heat sintering It is similar to hot pressing, which is carried out in a graphite die, but heating is accomplished by a source of high frequency electricity to drive a large alternating current through a coil. This coil is known as the work coil. The passage of current through this coil generates a very intense and rapidly changing magnetic field in the space within the work coil.
- 12. 12
- 13. 13 MY OPINION Microwave sintering is a superior method of processing advanced ceramic material than the other conventional methods of production. Reduced processing cycle also allows a higher production rate , equipment are less costly ,easy maintenance , energy savings. Mechanical properties of microwave-sintered ceramics are superior to those of conventionally-sintered ceramics
- 14. 14 Conclusions Advantages of Sintering Allows making complex geometries High precision Green technology Products ready for assembly Disadvantages Large material quantity is required. High initial capital cost relative to some alternative molding processes. Size limitation based on size of chamber of machine. High temperature leads to high energy costs.
