Abstract:
The article investigated the influence of turbulence parameters of the SolidWorks Flow Simulations CFD package on the results of flow simulation in a two-path ultrasonic flowmeter. It has been found that the main turbulence parameters of SolidWorks Flow Simulations (turbulence intensity, turbulence length, turbulence energy and turbulence dissipation) slightly affect the result of the flow simulation in a full-filled pipeline of circular profile without additional turbulous elements (turbine, rotor, other). In view of this, during the CFD modeling of the flow measurement process using ultrasonic flowmeters, it is recommended to apply turbulence parameters installed in the SolidWorks Flow Simulations CFD package by default. At the same time, the time consumed by the computer to perform CFD modeling is almost unchanged when the specified parameters of the SolidWorks Flow Simulations CFD package.

Abstract:
Researchers especially from engineering field are using Computer Fluid Dynamic (CFD) software to simulate the three dimension (3D) model before they perform any experiments to prove their theories. The aim of this study is to develop a valve model in 3D using Solidworks software and to analyze internal fluid flow using Solidworks Flow Simulation (SWF) software to prove that this software has the capability in performing fluid simulations for the ball valve. The SWF successfully calculates the value of outlet velocity for the ball valve at different closing angles and different pressures value. The results shown are significantly acceptable by referring to the outputs of practical experiment and simulation incidence’s error of Ozdamar model 2007. The average error in calculation for SWF is about 7.42%, unlike FLUENT which is around 11.09%. Therefore; the engineers can simulate their models with higher accuracy using SWF software.

Abstract:
Thermal flow simulation can be used to study the fluid flow and heat transfer for a wide variety of engineering equipment. Flow simulations with the advent of computer architectures with superfast processing capabilities are rapidly emerging as an attractive alternative to conventional thermal flow analysis which is either too restrictive or expensive. In thermodynamic applications, increase of thermal efficiency of heat exchangers (i.e. radiators, cooling towers, condensers, intercoolers) is essential for compact design and improving whole cycle efficiency thus improving economic viability of the system. This paper outlines the process taken to optimize the geometry of conventional heat exchanger. Models were drawn into Solidworks and a computational domain was created. Solidworks Thermal Simulation was used to iterate toward a converged solution with the goal of obtaining a better efficiency of the heat exchanger. The results are analyzed and compared between two differently designed heat exchangers to find out the improvements. These practices were detailed in hopes that further research would use the ground work laid out in this paper to redesign existing heat exchangers.

Abstract:
The most common technology for the manufacture of metal parts and work pieces is casting. High-tech branches of mechanical engineering require the production of high-quality castings of complex configuration from modern alloys with a given chemical composition and mechanical properties. The analysis of the causes of slag inclusions and ways to prevent them showed that in addition to technological means related to quality preparation of metal before pouring, a significant role is played by quiet continuous pouring of metal and properly designed foundry system, including slag trap. However, the use of the most common foundry systems (braking, throttle, with centrifugal slag traps, rain, siphon) to increase the efficiency of slag retention is associated with increased metal consumption, and as a consequence, leads to an increase in the cost of casting. Conducting experimental research by varying the design of the slag trap leads to an increase in the number of field experiments, given their complexity, limited by great difficulties. On the other hand, computer flow modeling allows to study the influence of slag trap design on the flow rate of the melt at the design stage and significantly reduce the cost of introduction of new castings. In order to reliably capture slag and reduce the speed of movement of the melt in the foundries, which provides a smooth filling of the form with an alloy, but without additional costs of metal, the original design of the ribbed slag catcher is proposed. The results of parametric modeling of the melt flow in the channel of the ribbed slag trap showed a decrease in the flow rate along the cross-sectional height of the slag trap compared to traditional by 0.028 m / s or 14.5%. This allowed to reduce the length of the slag trap to the first feeder. The expected metal savings are 0.26%. The form made using a 3D model of the slag trap showed satisfactory molding ability. But the obtained research results are of a recommendatory nature and require practical verification in the production environment. In addition, by varying parameters such as the height of the ribs, the distance between them, the angle of inclination, we can obtain similar results for different castings of different alloys. Given all this, there is a need for further study of the impact of the design of the slag trap on the efficiency of slag retention.

Cataloged from the official PDF of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (page 59).
The Power Electric Building Block (PEBB) 6000 is a shipboard power converter unit developed by the Navy's Electric Ship Research and Development Consortium (ESRDC). Cooling strategies for the PEBB 6000 are constrained by its size, accessibility, and high heat flux. This paper proposes an air heat exchanger design that combines a parallel plate-fin heat sink with air jet impingement onto its fins. Previous studies showed that jet impingement methods can yield heat transfer rates that are three times of those produced by conventional cooling methods, which confines a parallel flow to a surface. In order to evaluate the design feasibility of a multi-jet impingement air heat exchanger, this paper simulates the temperature contours and the flow trajectories for various multi-jet impingement models using SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation in two stages. First, multi-jet impingement models with varying number of nozzles, nozzle diameters, impingement heights, arrangements, and velocity configurations were simulated for a single parallel plate fin. Cooler fin temperatures were achieved with larger diameter size, smaller impingement height, higher inlet velocity, and more nozzles. In the second stage, a model for the multi-jet air heat exchanger was created. When compared with simulation results for the heat sink with conventional parallel air flow, the fin thermal resistance of the heat sink was reduced by approximately 60 percent and the heat transfer rate was increased by almost threefold with the multi-jet impingement heat exchanger setup. These results help assess the potential of using a multi-jet impingement heat exchanger to cool the PEBB and provide valuable insight to improve future models.

Abstract:
L'obiettivo di questo studio è sviluppare e valutare dal punto di vista prettamente aerodinamico, mediante metodi computazionali, una winglet a doppia estremità (up & down). Per lo sviluppo e l'ottimizzazione sono stati presi come riferimento i risultati ottenuti tramite il software xflr5 (metodo Vortex Lattice), mentre lo studio finale, nel confronto con la stessa ala senza winglet, è stato effettuato utilizzando SolidWorks Flow Simulation (analisi CFD). Ciò che si vuole dimostrare è che una winglet costruita in questo modo può, in linea generale, avere effetti benefici sulle prestazioni aerodinamiche. Questo tenendo conto, anzitutto, che un eventuale studio degli effetti generati sulla struttura alare diminuirebbe l'entità di questi benefici, ma, d'altra parte, le semplificazioni effettuate portano a pensare che esistano margini di miglioramento rispetto alla configurazione valutata.

Abstract:
This paper presents a numerical model to study the fluid flow effects in an idealized, full scale marine current turbine. The effect of changing fluid flow conditions on the operation and structural integrity of a marine current turbine is of utmost importance in designing the shape, size and composition of the turbine blade. The model uses the measured current velocity offshore the coast of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. A probability distribution function is used to describe the probability of exceedance of the current velocity. The effects of free surface, kinematic viscosity and pitch angle are considered in this study. The turbine rotor is modeled using a 3D computer aided design (CAD) tool, SolidWorks. The rotor and the computational domain are meshed using geometric mesh generation software, ANSYS ICEM CFD. ANSYS FLUENT software is used to model the fluid flow interactions by solving the conservation equations for mass and momentum, considering non-uniform inflows and turbulence. The model will provide a methodology for predicting the lift and drag coefficients, bending moments and center of pressure in the turbine rotor. The results from this study can be used to predict the fatigue life of a turbine blade based on the statistical data of the current profile at a particular location. Furthermore, the estimation of power generation and efficiency of the turbine can be calculated to provide the information needed to evaluate the feasibility and economics of the energy converter.

Abstract:
Cavity receivers used in solar power towers and dish concentrators may lose considerable energy by natural convection, which reduces the overall system efficiency. A validated numerical receiver model is desired to better understand convection processes and aid in heat loss minimization efforts. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate heat loss predictions using the commercial computational fluid dynamics software packages FLUENT 13.0 and SolidWorks Flow Simulation 2011 against experimentally measured heat losses for a heated cubical cavity model [1] and a cylindrical dish receiver model [2]. Agreement within 10% was found between software packages across most simulations. However, simulated convective heat loss was under predicted by 45% for the cubical cavity when experimental wall temperatures were implemented on cavity walls, and 32% when implementing the experimental heat flux from the cavity walls. Convective heat loss from the cylindrical dish receiver model was accurately predicted within experimental uncertainties by both simulation codes using both isothermal and constant heat flux wall boundary conditions except at inclination angles below 15° and above 75°, where losses were under- and over-predicted by FLUENT and SolidWorks, respectively. Comparison with empirical correlations for convective heat loss from heated cavities showed that correlations by Siebers and Kraabel [1] and for an assembly of heated flat plates oriented to the cavity geometry [3] predicted heat losses from the cubical cavity within experimental uncertainties, while correlations by Clausing [4] and Paitoonsurikarn et al. [8] were able to do the same for the cylindrical dish receiver. No single correlation was valid for both receiver models. Different turbulence and air-property models within FLUENT were also investigated and compared in this study.

Abstract:
In this paper, we studied geometric effects of impeller blade angles and hub configurations on the energy conversion efficiency of regenerative blowers, using commercial CAD and CFD software. As a base geometry, a regenerative compressor, that was commercially available with accessible experimental data, was modeled and simulated. Both Pro/Engineering (PTC) and SolidWorks (Solidworks Corp.) were used for 3D geometrical modeling, and ANSYS-CFX (ANSYS, Inc.) was used for CFD flow simulation. The CFD flow simulation was performed at a constant impeller rotational speed of 3600 rpm, while the air flow rates varied from 60, 80, 100, to 120 cfm. The simulation results for the base geometry agree with the experimental data, confirming the validity of the modeling and simulation schemes. For the parametric study of the impeller blade angles and hub configurations for enhanced efficiency, the two geometrical design parameters were systematically investigated to find out optimal efficiency points. The result shows that the protrusion and shape of a hub are more impactful to the pump efficiency than the outflow angles of blades, and enhances the power efficiency more effectively.

Abstract:
Lithium -ion batteries are used in electric cars, hybrid cars and Boeing 787 Dreamliner. There is an issue with heat generation in these batteries that may cause fire and reduce performance. An experimental chamber has been setup that provides dynamic and static cooling/heating regimes for Li-ion batteries. Air flow is produced by air station with maximum output of 80 m3/h. The maximum possible pressure drop is 7000 Pa. Air station can work both in pumping and exhausting mode. This test setup will be used to study various surface topology to enhance heat transfer without increase weight. Experimental setup contains two-stage temperature stabilization system. During the first stage we use the preliminary heating or cooling of the inlet air in the air buffer. The aim is to achieve the air temperature close to required inlet temperature. During the next stage air passes through the chamber with temperature controller where eventually the flow temperature is set. This approach provides flow temperature stabilization within −30°C to +50°C range with 0.2°C accuracy. For our studies we have designed and manufactured simulators of Li-ion battery power cells with the same thermal properties as the original ones. Each simulator contains 40 surface temperature sensors (20 per side). The data from sensors is transferred to computer by the NI-6225 PC card for control and further processing. The design of the simulators provides information about the placement of cooling surfaces with various surface elements and its efficiency — fins, triangles, wings, etc. In this paper, the characteristics of cooling surfaces with filleted pins will be reported. We have measured the surface temperature distributions and obtained the corresponding cooling diagrams for 10–40°C temperature range and 1 m/sec – 4 m/sec flow rates. The experimental results are compared to the computer simulation using SolidWorks Flow Simulation™ software.

Abstract:
Thermal design was incorporated into an undergraduate heat transfer course through a multistage design project. The students were tasked with designing water channels to be cut in an aluminum block using a wire electrical discharge machining (EDM) process. The students begin the process by analyzing the internal channels as a one dimensional array of fins using traditional analysis and correlations and Engineering Equation Solver (EES) to perform the calculations. Working in groups of two, the students conduct several parametric studies and develop a preliminary design using an array of fins method. The requirements for the design included outcomes that had to be met, along with weighting factors for key aspects of the design such as thermal performance, pressure drop, fabrication cost and volumetric flow rate. Next, the students analyze their preliminary design using SolidWorks flow simulation and compare their results to the one dimensional array of fins analysis. The groups then begin the process of refining their design using SolidWorks flow simulation to predict key parameters. Finally, the students select their best design which is fabricated using a wire EDM machine. The heat sinks are tested using a single experimental apparatus and the best design is determined based on the original requirements. The project is first introduced when the students are covering resistor networks and the analysis of an array of fins. The computational aspect of the project begins after the students have covered steady state conduction using finite difference methods. Using the computational results the students plot the heat transfer coefficient on the surface of the channel, which complements the lectures on internal developing flows.

Abstract:
Tidal current energy is regarded as one of the most promising alternative energy resources for its minimal environmental footprint and high-energy density. The device used to harness tidal current energy is the tidal current turbine, which shares similar working principle with wind turbines. The high load factors resulting from the fluid properties and the predictable resource characteristics make marine currents particularly attractive for power generation. There is a paucity of information regarding various key aspects of system design encountered in this relatively new area of research. Not much work has been done to determine the characteristics of turbines running in water for kinetic energy conversion even though relevant work has been carried out on ship’s propellers, wind turbines and on hydro turbines. None of these three well established areas of technology completely overlap with this new field so that gaps remain in the state of knowledge. A tidal current turbine rated at 1–3 m/s in water can result in four times as much energy per year/m2 of rotor swept area as similarly rated power wind turbine. Areas with high marine current flows commonly occur in narrow straits, between islands, and around. There are many sites worldwide with current velocities around 2.5 m/s, such as near the UK, Italy, the Philippines, and Japan. In the United States, the Florida Current and the Gulf Stream are reasonably swift and continuous currents moving close to shore in areas where there is a demand for power. In this study tidal current turbines are designed for several high tidal current areas around USA for a tidal current speed range from 1 m/s to 2.5 m/s. Several locations around USA are considered, e.g. the Gulf Stream; Mississippi River, St. Clair’s river connecting Lake Huron to Lake St. Clair’s; Colorado River within Cataract Canyon etc. Tidal current turbines can be classified as either horizontal or vertical axis turbines. In this study several designs from both the classifications are considered and modeled using SolidWorks. Hydrodynamic analysis is performed using SolidWorks Flow simulation software, and then optimization of the designs is performed based on maximizing the starting rotational torque and ultimate power generation capacity. From flow simulations, forces on the tidal current turbine blades and structures are calculated, and used in subsequent stress analysis using SolidWorks Simulation software to confirm structural integrity. The comparative results from this study will help in the systematic optimization of the tidal current turbine designs at various locations.
