Introduction:A Centrifugal Pump is a hydraulic machine used to raise the liquids from a lower to a higher level by creating a required pressure by means of centrifugal action. These are the machines that increase the pressure energy of a fluid. These may either lift the fluid or just boost the pressure in a pipeline. Working…

Objective: Create a 3D model of a flow bench. Run a parametric study on different valve lift. Run flow analysis and obtaining a plot graph between lift and mass flow rate Introduction: A flow bench is a device used for testing the internal aerodynamic qualities of an engine component. It is mainly used for testing the…

Objective:Model the flow over a NACA0017 airfoil for the angle of attacks 02,4,6,8,10 compare the lift and drag forces. Theory:Airfoil shape like that of an airplane wing, tail, or propeller blade produces lift and drag when moved through the air. An airfoil produces a lif5in force that acts normally to the airstream and…

Objective: To perform the external pipe flow simulation. Run a baseline simulation and then calculate the Reynolds number. Then increase the Reynolds number by a factor of 20%, 40%, and 100% then run the transient flow simulation. Introduction to the underlying Concept and Software used: Engineering Fluid Dynamics (EFD)…

What do popt and pcov mean? popt: It gives an array with the optimal values for the parameters so that the sum of the squared residuals of data is minimized. pcov: It is a 2d array with the estimated covariance of the parameters in popt. It can be used to calculate the standard deviation errors of popt. What does np.array(temperature)…
