...-dimensional ellipsoidal cocoa bean using the finite volume method with the aid of ansys , a computational fluid dynamics software. The simulated and experimental maximum product (cocoa) temperatures of 53 and 53.5 °C, respectively, were in agreement with each other. The results obtained in this study...

... commercial refrigeration systems. In this paper, a validated model that simulates a commercial refrigeration system installed over 2000 sq. ft to mimic a real express store installed at the Riseholme Refrigeration Research Centre at the University of Lincoln, UK, is developed and presented. The detailed...

...Gaurav Kumar; Radha Raman Mishra; Apurbba Kumar Sharma Microwave drilling is a machining process that utilizes microwave energy for removing the target material through ablation. In the present work, simulation and experimental studies were carried out to understand the effect of process parameters...

... unchanged, and the battery packs filled with the two materials were repeatedly simulated at the discharge rate of 2C. Fig. 11 demonstrated the temperature contour of the battery pack at the end of the discharge. The graph Figs. 11( c ) and 11( d ) were the temperature contour obtained after...

... monitored during 2 months in summer and 2 months in winter. A trnsys model of this house was built and validated against the monitoring results. Simulation results show that the annual thermal load of the partially buried house is always lower than that of the corresponding above ground building house...

... properties of liquid and surface. In the present study, a mathematical model of water droplet evaporation on an engineered aluminum surface is developed. Experimental study is carried out for the validation of code. The data obtained from the simulation is validated against the data obtained from...

...P. S. Ghoshdastidar; Ankit Agarwal The present work reports a computer simulation and optimization study of heat transfer in a rotary kiln used for drying and preheating wood chips with superheated steam at 1 bar. A rotary kiln employed for drying and preheating wet solids consists of a refractory...
