Robust validation of the simulation model is performed by comparing numerical results with experiments. Experiments are performed using a two-dimensional set-up generating rapid granular flow owing to gravity. DEM simulations demonstrate that a rapid gas-like stream of grains suddenly decelerates across the shock wave and finally collapses into a slow-moving heap at the cylinder. The volume fraction suddenly increases across the shock layer and remains constant thereafter. The flow physics of the shock wave and the granular heap is elucidated through fundamental fluid dynamic quantities such as the velocity, volume fraction, pressure and granular temperature. It is shown that the interaction of grains with a cylindrical obstacle results in the generation of pressure, which is responsible for sustaining ...

The user needs to wear a glove, which incorporates the sensors. The sensors will record the development of the movement in a particular direction, which will result in the development of the quad copter in that individual direction. The quad copter and hand motion glove are associated wirelessly by means of RF waves. The wireless correspondence empowers the user to cooperate with the quad copter in a friendlier manner. This project structured a quadcopter framework utilizing an ardupiolt mega2.8 chip with an RF transmitter with a few live control shapes accessible just as a mission organizer for autopilot control.

Animal manure is a major output waste of rural areas and it can be converted into biogas through anaerobic digestion. Biogas is mainly CH4 which is combustible and can be used as fuel. In Pakistan, most of the rural population is relying on agriculture and cattle farming. Agriculture gives us hydro potential and cattle farming gives us biogas. And both of these resources, if used properly, can drastically improve the socioeconomic condition of rural areas. The sub-rural tehsil of Division Bahawalpur, “Mandi Yazman” is considered as a study area with the domestic load. This paper gives a techno-economic analysis of microgrid based on biogas, solar and hydropower to find out the best possible combination for lowest COE (cost of energy) and NPC (net present cost) according to the available resources in the proposed site.

Two important parameters are investigated, namely, the number of injectors, N, and the mass flow rate ratio of the injector jet to the main jet, Cm, along with the expansion ratio of the main jet, [Formula: see text], where pe and pa are the nozzle exit and atmospheric pressures, respectively. The jet mixing quantified as a measure of supersonic core length, [Formula: see text], strongly depends on N, Cm, and [Formula: see text]. Two distinct regions behind the jet manipulation are identified, and a physical reasoning based on [Formula: see text] is presented using Pitot pressure measurements and Schlieren images. Empirical scaling analysis conducted on the experimental data for [Formula: see text] = f1( N, Cm, [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]) is reduced to [Formula: see text] = [Formula: see text], where MRN is the momentum...

This study focuses on the reduction of harmonics of a three-phase Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter (CHB-MLI) with Field Oriented Control (FOC) using the Third Harmonic Injection (THIPWM) technique. The aim is to increase the maximum utilization of DC bus along with the reduction of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). The proposed design of MLI with THIPWM is compared with conventional techniques by taking THD into account for different types of loads. This research utilized MATLAB/Simulink as simulating, modelling and analyzing tool.

They are known to exhibit shock waves at velocities that are easily achieved in industrial and nature-driven flows such as avalanches and landslides. This experimental work investigates the formation of strong shock waves on triangular obstacles placed in a dry rapid granular stream in a confined two-dimensional set-up. Oblique attached shock waves are formed for mild turning angles and higher flow velocities, whereas strong bow shock waves are formed for higher turning angles and slower granular streams. A shadowgraph imaging technique elucidates interesting characteristics of the shock waves, especially in the vicinity of shock detachment. Velocity distributions in the form of scatter plots and probability distribution functions are calculated from the flow field data obtained by particle imaging velocimetry. The flow field around the granular shock wave region represent...

Today, renewable energy technologies are the most focused research areas as they can play an important role in improving the quality of life by meeting the electricity demand. Indigenous renewable energy resources (RES) in these remote areas can be used to form a hybrid system that meets the electrical requirements of the community. This research explores a variety of hybrid and renewable energy systems (HRES) based on solar and wind resources to meet diverse community needs. The remote area of Pindiali (Latitude: 34 degrees 27.29 minutes North, Longitude 71 degrees 27.22 minutes East) in the Mohmand District of Pakistan is considered a study area. The system is designed and analyzed with anticipated load requirements and existing energy resources using HOMER software. The proposed system has a very low cost of energy (i.e., 0.166 $/kWh). The suggested solar wind hybrid system (SWHS) can be easily adapted to other areas of the globe with alike climates.

While circular jets are conventional, elliptic jets have gained attention due to their better mixing characteristics and faster decay. To further explore and augment the capabilities of elliptic jets for practical utility, it is investigated whether using an elliptic jet with cross wire control gives additional benefit in terms of mixing enhancement over an axisymmetric jet. Experiments are performed for subsonic and choked flow conditions with nozzle pressure ratios ranging from 1.2 to 7.0 . Time-averaged pitot pressures and schlieren visualization is used for diagnosis. The jet bifurcation can be seen in controlled elliptical jets at all nozzle pressure ratios (NPRs). Core length is reduced to as much as 70 % in the elliptical jet and 84 % in the case of the circular jet. The core length values estimated from the present data are compared with the previous investigations.
