The Potential of Using Natural Gas in HCCI Engines: Results from Zero- and Multi-dimensional Simulations
(2012-07-16)
With the depletion of petroleum based fuels and the corresponding concerns of national energy security issues, natural gas as an alternative fuel in IC engine applications has become an attractive option. Natural gas ...
Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Method for the Nonlinear Hyperbolic Problems with Entropy-Based Artificial Viscosity Stabilization
(2012-07-16)
This work develops a discontinuous Galerkin finite element discretization of non- linear hyperbolic conservation equations with efficient and robust high order stabilization built on an entropy-based artificial viscosity ...
Development of a Laboratory Verified Single-Duct VAV System Model with Fan Powered Terminal Units Optimized Using Computational Fluid Dynamics
(2011-10-21)
Single Duct Variable Air Volume (SDVAV) systems use series and parallel Fan
Powered Terminal Units to control the air flow in conditioned spaces. This research
developed a laboratory verified model of SDVAV systems that ...
Analysis of the Reactor Cavity Cooling System for Very High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactors Using Computational Fluid Dynamics Tools
(2011-08-08)
The design of passive heat removal systems is one of the main concerns for the modular Very High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactors (VHTR) vessel cavity. The Reactor Cavity Cooling System (RCCS) is an important heat removal ...
Numerical Study of Geometry and Rotation Dependence on the Flow in Labyrinth Seals
(2011-10-21)
A computational study was conducted on the flow, both compressible and incompressible, in a labyrinth seal at various geometries and rotation rates. The computations were performed using the commercial software Fluent® ...
