  • CFD analysis of axisymmetry cylinder in heave
    D. Selvamuthukumaran, N. Babu, M. Samuel Gemsprim, N. Aravindkumar
    Aip Conference Proceedings, 2022
    The simulation of water waves is carried out in ANSYS 13. To analyze the various forces acting on vertical cylinder floating on the water body. Water waves are generated by using the commercial CFD code FLUENT, wave generation and the water-air interaction used to generate a dynamic mesh feature and the VOF model creation respectively. The Navier-Strokes equations for viscous, incompressible fluids and the volume of fluid (VOF) system are used to create a 2D numerical wave tank. While designing a wave energy converter, it is critical to advance an efficient method for regulating the wave load and calculating its response. The computational domain is built using the wall boundary, air boundary, and pressure inlet boundary, and linear normal waves are accurately simulated using the proposed numerical model.
  • Production of waste plastic fuel oil and experimentation analysis on engine performance with fuel blends

    Aip Conference Proceedings, 2022
    There is an increment in the production and utilization of plastics as the days pass by. Plastics of all kind should be well disposed after usage. It is important to deal with this plastic waste management. This prompts pyrolysis, which is a method of converting waste plastic into useful fuel oil. This project deals with one such attempt to convert waste plastics into fuel oil. The obtained oil seems to have similar physical properties as the fuel used in aviation industry and is test on an engine to study its performance. The experimental results show that the usage of fuel oil in Engine can result in slight variation in the performance, without any engine modifications. Thus the issues faced by dumping of plastic wastes and increasing fuel demand could be eliminated by effective conversion of waste to energy in the form of fuel.

  • Effect of various parameters on the performance of vortex tube cooling system
    S Vignesh, R Ramamoorthi, N Aravindkumar
    Iop Conference Series Materials Science and Engineering, 2020
    Conventional vapour compression systems prove to be expensive for continual, specialized usage and require maintenance as there are several moving parts. A vortex tube cooling system has no moving parts and operates as a small cooling machine by separating the compressed gas into two different streams namely cold and hot streams. The thermal performance of the system was studied as function of a geometrical parameter i.e. L/D ratio of the vortex chamber, under various inlet pressure conditions. The study was oriented towards obtaining the maximum possible temperature drop across the system. Experiments were carried out by varying the L/D ratio and an inference was drawn on the cold fraction. Results proved that the length to diameter ratio plays an important role in the performance of the vortex tube cooling system.
