Image Analysis Of Air-Bubble Injection (Front And Side View) Into A Turbulent Liquid Stream, Navjot Kaur
Image Analysis Of Air-Bubble Injection (Front And Side View) Into A Turbulent Liquid Stream, Navjot Kaur
Dissertations and Theses
"This study concerns an air bubble injection experiments in a vertical upward annular channel in which a 0.4 mm hole was created to inject the air bubbles into the turbulent stream. Water was used as a testing fluid, and the experiments were performed at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. A high-speed video camera was used to capture the dynamics of the bubble formation process. Two different experimental views were used: a front view in which flow velocity was 0.80 m/s (2.68 GPM) at Reynolds number, Re=7413 and to inject air bubbles into water stream air bubble injection rate was set …

"Recent studies such as those conducted by Akaydin, Elvin and Andreopoulos in [1] have described and quantified the electrical power that can be extracted from a moving flow by the implementation of energy harvesters. In such study, a flexible cantilevered beam was fitted with a cylindrical prism at the free end and placed within a uniform flow field. Due to the vortex shedding generated by the prism (e.g. Von Karman vortices) the beam was found to oscillate about the undisturbed position. The beam in question was then outfitted with a piezoelectric material in order to translate the transient strain energy …

A Model Of Transient Heat Transfer In A Packed Bed Of Alumina Particles, Samira Shiri
Dissertations and Theses
The present study seeks to develop a robust system-scale heat transfer model for a sensible heat storage system. A novel mechanism to simulate axial dispersion and heat loss from the boundary of the sensible heat system to the environment is introduced. The most challenging topics to develop a robust heat transfer model are related to heat loss term, selecting the more reliable method to calculate heat transfer coefficient between fluid and solid, and investigating the effect of neglecting temperature dependency of materials properties. As the storage heat system has a vertical storage vessel, the dominant heat transfer mechanism from the …
