Week 1- Mixing Tee

Objective To simulate the flow of air through mixing tee and understand the effect of length of pipe and momentum ratio of velocity for mixing of air by using two different types of pipe i.e. short pipe and long pipe. About In industrial process engineering, mixing is a unit operation that involves…

Part I Perform a combustion simulation on the combustor model and plot the variation of the mass fraction of the different species’ in the simulation using line probes at different locations of the combustor as shown in Fig. You need to plot for CO2, H2O, CH4, N2, O2, NOx emissions & Soot formation.   …

For this challenge, you will have to perform a parametric study on the gate valve simulation by setting the opening from 10 % to 80%.  Obtain the mass flow rates at the outlet for each design point. Calculate the flow coefficient and flow factor for each opening and plot the graph. Discuss the results of the mass…

Aim: To perform analysis on cyclone separator and calculate the separation efficiency and pressure drop.   Objective: To write a few words about any four empirical models used to calculate the cyclone separator efficiency.  To perform an analysis on a given cyclone separator model by varying the particle…

Aim: Perform a steady-state conjugate heat transfer analysis on a model of a graphics card. You can use appropriate materials of your choice for the simulation. Make sure to properly define the correct solid and fluid zones. Objectives: Run the simulation by varying the velocity from 1m/sec to 5m/sec for at least 3 velocities…

Introduction: Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) is the interpenetration of process that occurs whenever a light fluid pushes on a heavy fluid. It is a dynamic process whereby the two fluids seek to reduce their combined potential energy by rupturing plane between them. The ensuing turbulence and mixing has far-reaching…

Introduction: Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) is the process of thermal energy exchange when solid and fluid domain interacts with each other. i.e. conjugate heat transfer corresponds with the combination of heat transfer in solids and fluids. In solids, conduction often dominates whereas, in fluids, convection usually dominates.…

Aim: The aim of this challenge is to perform steady state simulation on an Ahmed body with incoming air at 25m/s velocity. Introduction: The Ahmed Body was first created by S.R. Ahmed in his research “Some Salient Features of the Time-Averaged Ground Vehicle Wake” in 1984. Since then, it has become a benchmark…

Aim: Part 1: Simulate the flow with the steady and unsteady case and calculate the Strouhal Number for Re= 100 Part 2: a) Calculate the coefficient of drag and lift over a cylinder by setting the Reynolds number to 10,100,1000,10000 & 100000. (Run with steady solver) b) Discuss the effect of Reynolds number on…
