In this paper, Computational Fluid Dynamics technique and numerical analysis is used to investigate the rocket thrust chamber cooling characteristics. The scope of the investigation involves the study of effect of aspect ratio (height/width) on the heat transfer characteristics of coolant channel. Steady state pressure based analysis of semi cryogenic thrust chamber regenerative cooling channel...

Thin liquid wall fillTIs flowing under the influence of high-velocity turbulent gas streaIllS were studied for the purpose of obtaining an understanding of the Illechanics of filIll cooling. Conditions which insure liquid-filIll attachIllent to solid surfaces without loss of unevaporated liquid to the gas streaIll when siIllple radial-hole injectors are used were found; the IllaxiIlluIll allowa...

INTRODUCTION In pebble bed reactors (PBRs), fuel pebbles containing TRISO particles continuously circulate within the core during operation, while the coolant fluid, either helium gas (in Pebble Bed Gas-cooled Reactors) or molten flibe salt (in Pebble Bed-Advanced High Temperature Reactors), continuously passes through the pebbles to transfer the heat generated by fission reactions out of the c...

Output performance of a thermoelectric-based automotive waste heat recovery system with a nanofluid coolant is analyzed in this study. Comparison between Cu-Ethylene glycol (Cu-EG) nanofluid coolant and ethylene glycol with water (EG-W) coolant under equal mass flow rate indicates that Cu-EG nanofluid as a coolant can effectively improve power output and thermoelectric conversion efficiency for...

The aim of this research work is to evaluate the effects of coolant including nano- powder material for the cooling purpose in milling process and comparing the results with the conventional coolant. Generation heat and weak heat transfer reduces the tool life and also deteriorate surface roughness during milling operation. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to use coolant for cooling as...

1 Fellow, ASME Abstract A semi-empirical model for conduction/convection in a thin “fin-like” porous wall of arbitrary composition and thickness is developed. The model assumes one-dimensional conduction in the porous matrix and one-dimensional flow of the coolant through the wall. Closed form solutions are obtained for a uniform composition and thickness porous wall having an insulated tip. An...

The first lecture in this two-lecture sequence provides background and general concepts. The second lecture provides practical examples. The objective of these two lectures is to provide a modular design optimization tool description that will take into account interaction of the hot gas flow-field, heat transfer in the blade material, internal coolant flow-field, stresses and deformations of t...

the aim of this manuscript is to study the implication of aluminium-oxide nanofluid for an amphibious vehicle engine (viable on land and under water) cooling system both analytically and experimentally. to achieve this, a one-dimensional model of the engine cooling system (radiator) is considered through a computational fluid code in which the mass flow rate for a range of the coolant temperatu...

Engine cooling system plays an important role to maintain the operating temperature of engine. The coolant circuit initiates by picking up heat at water jackets.With the pressure gradient exists in coolant circuit, hot coolant flows out from engine to radiator or to bypass circuit (during cold start). The under hood air flow carries heat away at radiator after the air flows through numerous hoo...
