Introduction Heat is an inevitable byproduct of work. It’s generated when you start a car’s engine, go for a brisk walk or anything else that generates friction. Heat is also prevalent in electronics where it can be more difficult to manage and can be detrimental to their continued operation. When it comes…

Compression Ignition (CI) Engine The compression ignition engine is an internal combustion engine that uses temperature increase during the compression stroke as a source to ignite the fuelcharge (fuel-air mixture). This is also called auto-ignition. These engines are always fuel injected.Air is drawn into the cylinder…

Port Fuel Injection Port injection sprays the fuel into the intake ports where it mixes with the incoming air. Port injection systems are much cheaper to manufacture. The injectors are not exposed to the high heat and pressure of the combustion chamber and they don’t have to handle high fuel pressures. Port injection…

Conjugate Heat Transfer The term conjugate heat transfer (CHT) is used to describe processes which involve variations of temperature within solids and fluids, due to thermal interaction between the solids and fluids. A typical example is the heating or cooling of a solid object by the flow of air in which it is immersed…

Shock Wave It is strong pressure wave in any elastic medium such as air, water, or a solid substance, produced by supersonic aircraft, explosions, lightning, or other phenomena that create violent changes in pressure. Shock waves differ from sound waves in that the wave front, in which compression…

Open-Channel Flow Open channel flow is a type of fluid flow with at least one free surface subjected to the surroundings. The pressure is considered to be constant at the surface and hydraulic streamlines are at the surface of fluid in open channel flow. The water in the open channel is not fully covered by the rigid boundaries.…

Viscous Boundary Layer Flow over flat plate is visualized by introducing bubbles that follow the local fluid velocity.• Most of the flow is unaffected by the presence of the plate.• However, in the region closest to the wall, the velocity decreases to zero.• The flow away from the walls can be treated as…
