Week 8 - Simulating Cyclone separator with Discrete Phase Modelling

CHALLENGE ON COMBUSTION   The following is a study based on combustion. A combustion model is set-up with methane-air as fuel and various observations are obtained.   THEORY   Combustion is a chemical process in which a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen and gives off heat. The original substance is called…

PARAMETRIC STUDY ON GATE VALVE   Gate Valve   A gate valve, also known as a sluice valve, is a valve that opens by lifting a gate out of the path of the fluid. Gate valves require very little space along the pipe axis and hardly restrict the flow of fluid when the gate is fully opened. The gate faces can be parallel…

                                                SIMULATION OF A CYCLONE SEPERATOR USING DISCRETE PHASE MODELING   The following study consists of analysis of cyclone separator and calculating…

                                                           RAYLEIGH TAYLOR INSTABILITY CHALLENGE   The following is a study based on developing CFD models to solve Rayleigh…

CHT ANALAYSIS ON AN EXHAUST PORT   The following project deals with the CHT analysis of an exhaust port of an inline-4-cylinder engine.     CHT ANALYSIS   Conjugate heat transfer (CHT) analysis can accurately predict heat transfer by simultaneous solving all the relevant solid and flow field heat transfer…

STUDY OF FLOW OVER AHMED BODY   The following study involves conducting flow simulations over an Ahmed Body and making various conclusions from it.   Objectives of the Study   Describing Ahmed Body and its importance Explaining the reason for the negative pressure in wake region Explaining the significance…

STUDY OF THE VORTEX SHEDDING PHENOMENOM   In fluid dynamics, vortex shedding is an oscillating flow that takes place when a fluid such as air or water flows past a bluff body at certain velocities, depending on the size and shape of the body. In this flow, vortices are created at the back of the body and detach periodically…

Steady-state simulations to compare the mixing effectiveness of two different mixing tees   Mixing Tees are a simple, cost effective method of providing chemical diffusion to a system.     Momentum ratio is the ratio of velocity of cold air(inlet) to the velocity of hot air(inlet)     AIM To set…
