Analysis on the effect of trench geometry on film cooling effectiveness of shaped holes using rans simulation

Sanjeeva KPP [Thesis-Abstract]

Diffused shaped holes have shown superior cooling performance over the other shapes of holes in many situations. In the present study, numerical simulation using realizable k-ε model with enhanced wall treatments as ...
Experimental investigation on black pepper drying in a hot air cabinet dryer for optimized energy performance

Virantha EAI [Thesis-Abstract]

Open sun drying is the widely used passive method for black pepper drying, but due to its limitations such as unavailability on rainy days, lack of controllability, degradation of food quality, loss of volatile oil, and ...
A Neural network based model for forecasting the power output of a commercial scale photovoltaic power plant

Manchanayaka MAAP [Thesis-Abstract]

Solar photovoltaic (PV) is penetrating electrical grids with a substantial growth of new additions, as a result of renewable energy policies and plans implemented locally and globally. However, the intermittent nature of ...
Numerical study of microchannel heat transfer with nanofluid based two - phase slug flow

Siriwardana SSGC [Thesis-Abstract]

Microfluidics has recently gained research attention for its high-end thermal applications, including micro heat exchangers, Lab on a Chip, micro reactors, and MEMS. It has been proven that the addition of suitable ...
