CFD Study of the aerodynamic performance of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine in the wake of another turbine
Download2022-06-01
Belabes, Belkacem, Paraschivoiu, Marius
An increased interest in Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) has been seen recently due to their ability to be placed closer together. Although individual vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have lower efficiency than horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs), they may have a significant advantage...

Validation of a Numerical Model for Reciprocating Thermodynamic Machines by Examining Heat Transfer in a Low Temperature Difference Stirling Engine
Download2022-06-01
Lottmann, Matthias, Nobes, David S.
A third order two-dimensional numerical model for reciprocating thermodynamic machines is validated using a low temperature difference Stirling engine with 15 Watt shaft power and source and sink temperatures of 150 °C and 5 °C. The work is limited to the thermodynamic model at steady state. The...

Zar, H. Ali, Goharimanesh, M., Janabi-Sharifi, F.
In this paper, estimation of the applied force on a planar catheter is considered. An image processing approach has been chosen as the most suitable tool. For this purpose, we create a comprehensive database of catheters with different shapes and operating forces. Using image processing...
