Cyclone Separator:                 Cyclone separators are gas cleaning devices that utilize a centrifugal force created by a spinning gas stream to separate particulate matter from the gas. The difference in specific gravity allows centrifugal force to separate out the particulate…

The heat equation is a second order partial differential equation that describes how the distribution of some quantity (such as heat) evolves over time in a solid medium, as it spontaneously flows from places where it is higher towards places where it is lower. It is a special case of the diffusion equation. …

Flame Speed Analysis:- The flame is a self-sustaining propagation of a localized combustion zone at subsonic velocities. The flame occupies a small portion of the combustible mixture at any one time and it is propagating towards the unburned gases. The velocity at which reactants enter the flame will be the same as flame…

Three cases are presented here one by one and comparative observations are written in the end. For all the cases the number of mesh elements is kept almost the same and hot and cold temperature is taken as 25 0C and 10 0C resp. For all the cases hot inlet is maintained in x-direction and cold inlet in a y-direction. …

Suppose we have an ordinary differential equation,                                 `dx /dt = f(x)` equillibria will be reached when, `dx/dt = 0` i.e `f(x) = 0` If `f(x_e) = 0`, then `x(t) = x_e` is a solution. The initial…

The first step to computing the Navier-Stokes’ equation is a wave propagation equation in 1D. The 1 dimensional linear convection equation: `(del u)/(del t) + c (del u)/(del x) = 0` 'u' is a quantity that is transported at a constant velocity. The constant velocity makes the equation linear in nature contrary to…
