Performance study on a tropical climate-appropriate home solar dryer with an insulated wall: An Experimental Approach
Nilotpala Bej, Atal Bihari Harichandan, Satyabati Das
Journal of Physics Conference Series, 2026
This research paper presents the design and development of a solar dryer to address the drying needs in the tropical climate of rural populations. The novel design of the solar dryer offers an energy-efficient, cost-effective solution that utilizes easily available materials to promote sustainability and support the local economy. A layer of insulated sheet is applied to the walls to maintain the temperature of the solar chamber for a longer period, resulting in an enhanced drying process. Two specimens, namely potato and mango, are selected for the experiment, as they are among the most widely consumed food products in rural areas. The experimental results show that the device works well for the potato specimen under favourable weather conditions—such as hot, sunny days with a clear sky—and is able to reduce its weight by approximately 81.88% in 4 hours and 20 minutes (260 minutes). Similarly, dried mango with about 44% weight reduction can be produced in 1 hour and 40 minutes (100 minutes). Therefore, the findings of this study will significantly enhance economic sustainability and food security for rural households.

Effect of various reactor temperatures for mixed metallic oxides in chemical looping combustion system for carbon capture

Journal of Thermal Engineering, 2025
Chemical looping combustion (CLC) is an innovative technology designed to address the growing concerns related to carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions from fossil fuel-based power plants. As the world grapples with the challenges of climate change, the development of efficient and cost-effective carbon capture technologies has become imperative. CLC emerges as a promising solution, offering a unique approach to capturing CO 2 while maintaining energy efficiency in power generation. The study of bubble hydrodynamics within the fuel reactor of a CH 4 –fueled CLC system has been incorporated into the present research work. The reaction kinetics have been incorporated into the reactive system of the fuel reactor by a user-defined function (UDF) during numerical analysis. The present study uses CuO and NiO as mixed oxygen carrier materials in various proportions and CH 4 as a fuel in combustion processes. The various proportions of mixed metallic oxides have been considered as 30% CuO and 70% NiO, 50% CuO and 50% NiO, and 70% CuO and 30% NiO by volume. The bubble hydrodynamics in terms of development, growth, rise, and burst are visualized and analyzed in the solid-gas molar fraction inside the fuel reactor. In the recent work, authors have chosen different operating temperatures varying from 923 K to 1323 K. The fuel conversion rate has been observed to increase with the increased temperature.

International Journal of Thermofluids, 2024
The rise in airport and airline operations has increased compelling interest in aircraft noise. The aerodynamic noise initiated by the high-lifting devices is now comparable to the aircraft engine's noise. The gurney flap, a simple and easy-to-manufactured high-lifting device is suitable to study the trailing vortex shedding and its effects on generating aerodynamic noise. In the current study, the effect of adding a gurney flap on vortex shedding around the airfoil, its effect on the airfoil's aerodynamic parameters, and its effect on the generation of aerodynamic noise were observed. A numerical simulation was carried out using ANSYS Fluent for various angles of attack at Re=300 K around an Asymmetrical Airfoil, namely NACA 662–015 by varying the gurney height from 1 % to 3 % of the chord of the airfoil with 0.5 % incremen steps. For aerodynamic parameters alone 2.5% h/c gurney height was found to be the optimum gurney height when the airfoil was simulated from α=-20° to α=20° with 2° increments. For NACA 662–015, the irregular vortex pattern is perceived at a 20° angle of attack for Re=300 K. Upon simulating the airfoil for α=20° to α=28° with 2° increments, it was observed that for all the angles of attack with increasing gurney heights increases the strength of shedding, the mean values as well as amplitudes of the aerodynamic parameters. From the Strouhal number based on the Power Spectral Density amplitude of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) of the immediate lift coefficient, it was presented that the highest value of the Strouhal number value and Power Spectral Density amplitude was found at α=24° for all gurney heights and larger angles Strouhal number values were found to be smaller. With the help of a logarithmic scale called Sound Pressure Level (SPL), it was found that on a clean airfoil vortex, shedding emits little to no aerodynamic noise as compared to that with the gurney. While adding the gurney flap to the airfoil, the optimum gurney height, i.e., 2.5% h/c gurney height, yielded the highest (CL/CD) Max and highest aerodynamic noise. It was also found that for larger angles of attack aerodynamic noise possesses a significant far-field effect. Observing the results of the study suggests that for Micro Air Vehicles where aerodynamic noise plays a significant role smaller height of the gurney should be considered as most effective. Meanwhile, for larger Air Vehicles where aerodynamic parameters play a more important role 2.5% h/c gurney height should be considered the most effective.
Gust-induced flow perturbations on circular cylinder: Investigating the effects and characteristics

International Journal of Thermofluids, 2024
This paper delves into the fascinating realm of gust flow past a circular cylinder, unveiling the dynamic interactions and key features that influence the system's behavior. In this study, ANSYS Fluent is used to perform numerical simulations based on finite volume method. The aim is to investigate the temporal evolution of the aerodynamic forces at different Reynolds numbers (Re) at different gust frequencies. In this study, gusts are generated by harmonically changing the direction of the inlet velocity at different frequencies. Unlike uniform flow, vortices are shed simultaneously from the upper and lower surface of cylinder, sometimes with equal strengths and sometimes with varying strengths depending upon the gust frequency. Cl, Cd and Strouhal number values increase with gust frequency corresponding to any Reynolds number. However, the values remain less than no-gust case under similar flow situations. Fast Fourier transform analysis has been used to examine the energy spectrum and kinetic energy contours of vorticity and turbulence to gain further insight into fluid physics. The results of this study provide valuable insight into the physics of gust flow and circular cylinders.
Aerodynamic Performance of NACA 662-015 Airfoil with Gurney Flap

A numerical simulation was executed by using of ANSYS Fluent to demonstrate the effect of a Gurney flap (GF) on a National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) 662-015 airfoil. The GFs are remarkable aerodynamic elements that show how a small modification to an airfoil’s trailing edge can have a significant impact on performance, making them a valuable tool in the pursuit of enhanced efficiency and control in various applications with increased downforce and minimal drag penalty. The height of the flap was varied from 1% of the chord up to 3% of the chord of the airfoil, with 0.5% incremental steps. The increase in lift obtained and the subsequent penalty of increased drag were quantified in terms of percentage increase compared to the clean airfoil. As a result, the lift-to-drag ratio was found to be a net positive, with the most significant increase at a 2.5% GF height-to-chord ratio. Along with the lift augmentation, the impact of the GF on the zero-lift angle of attack, lift slope, and stall angle was investigated. Furthermore the alteration of the Kutta condition as a result of installing the GF on the airfoil. The improved aerodynamic effectiveness of airfoils using GFs is mostly observed in the motorsports and aviation sectors.
