[ 1 ] - ساخت و آزمایش یک توربین بادی محوری با بیشترین توانایی در جذب انرژی جنبشی جریان
هدف از مقاله حاضر ساخت و آزمایش یک توربین بادی محوری با ضریب توان بالاتر از 55% است. چرا که این ضریب توان بالاترین مقدار در جدیدترین نمونه‌های توربین‌های محوری ساخته شده است. بررسی حاضر منجر به ساخت طرحی جدید از یک توربین بادی کوچک شده که در اندازه‌گیری‌های تجربی حداکثر ضریب توان 68 الی 80 درصد را نشان داده است. اندازه‌گیری ضریب توان روتور دو پروانه ای توربین بادی با نتایج تئوری دو دیسک انتقال...
[ 2 ] - بررسی خواص فیزیکی و مکانیکی نانوکامپوزیت‌های زمینه پلی‌استری تقویت‌شده با کاربیدسیلیسیم و فایبرگلاس
در تحقیق حاضر به بررسی رفتار سایش ساینده کامپوزیت?های زمینه پلی?استری تقویت?شده با درصدهای گوناگون پودر کاربید سیلیسیم و الیاف فایبرگلاس پرداخته شده است. تاثیر درصدهای گوناگون الیاف فایبرگلاس و پودر کاربید سیلیسیم و همچنین فاصله لغزشی بر روی جرم از دست?رفته مورد آزمایش قرار گرفته است. با افزایش فاصله لغزشی، میزان درصد جرم از دست?رفته کاهش می?یابد و با کاهش درصد جرم از دست?رفته، مقاومت در برابر ...
[ 3 ] - Numerical and Experimental Investigations for Design of a High Performance Micro-hydro-kinetic Turbine
Design and manufacturing of a high performance micro-hydro-kinetic turbine is discussed in the present paper. The main goal is manufacturing an equipped experimental model of hydro-kinetic turbine with highest energy absorption from water current. A multi-shape ducted turbine comprised of a multi-part diffuser was manufactured that can be converted to many experimental models for studying vario...
[ 4 ] - Influence of Afterbody and Boundary Layer on Cavitating Flow
The characteristics of a cavitation water tunnel test setup and the experiments of cavitation around different models are given in this paper. Models of test are formed from combination of head and variable length afterbody. The experiments are performed initially with the smooth head and then with the roughened head. Cavitation initiates both in the wake and after the head. If the nose of mode...
[ 5 ] - Comparison Final Velocity for Land Yacht with a Rigid Wing and Cloth Sail
The powering requirement of a land yacht is one of the most important aspects of its design. In this respect the wind tunnel testing is an effective design tool. In fact, changing the parameters of the vehicle and testing the changes in the wind tunnel will give us a better understanding of the most efficient vehicle, and yet it is time consuming, expensive, and has inherent scaling errors. Ano...
[ 6 ] - Hydrodynamics Analysis of Density Currents
Density Current is formed when a fluid with heavier density than the surrounding fluid flows down an inclined bed. These types of flows are common in nature and can be produced by; salinity, temperature inhomogeneities, or suspended particles of silt and clay. Driven by the density difference between inflow and clear water in reservoirs, density current plunges clear water and moves towards a d...
[ 7 ] - Effects of Slip Condition on the Characteristic of Flow in Ice Melting Process
In this paper a laminar flow of water on an ice layer subjected to a slip condition is considered numerically. The paper describes a parametric mathematical model to simulate the coupled heat and mass transfer events occurring in moving boundary problems associated with a quasi steady state steady flow process. The discretization technique of the elliptic governing differential equations of mas...
[ 8 ] - Effect of Camber and Thickness on the Aerodynamic Properties of an Airfoil in Ground Proximity (RESEARCH NOTE)
A linear vortex panel method is extended to include the effect Abstract of ground proximity on the aerodynamic properties of two dimensional airfoils. The image method is used to model the ground effect . According to the results, lift coefficient of an airfoil may increase or decrease in ground effect based on a combinative effect of its camber, thickness, angle of attack and ground clearance....
[ 9 ] - Experimental Investigation of Friction Coefficient in Ribleted Pipes and the Effect of Fine Particles
The effect of fine particles on turbulence damping and reduction of flow friction coefficient in ribleted pipes, have been investigated experimentally. Tests have been conducted in a ribleted pipe with hydraulic diameter of 18.6 mm, and 20 stream wise riblets of 1.8 mm depth, along the pipe. Flows of water tap with Reynolds number from 5000 to 30000 were compared with flows containing silt-clay...
