Numerical analysis on the impact of axial grooves on vortex cooling behavior in gas turbine blade's leading edge

Mehran Mohammadi, Khashayar Hosseinzadeh, Davood Domiri Ganji

Summary: This article presents a novel design of a vortex chamber with axial grooves for cooling the leading edge of turbine blades. The chamber generates a vortex through nine tangential inlets and includes an axial groove. The grooves enhance flow turbulence and increase heat transfer by disrupting the thermal boundary layer. Using a 3D model based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation, different turbulent models and experimental data were compared, with the Reynolds stress model (RSM) showing the highest accuracy. Various groove sizes, positions, and numbers were examined to study the vortex structure and heat transfer mechanism. The results revealed improved heat transfer in the chamber with grooves, especially with three grooves resulting in an average Nusselt number increase of over 4%. The pressure difference between chambers with and without grooves was not significant, but the highest friction factor occurred in the case with three grooves.

M. H. Pahlavanian, Davood Domiri Ganji

Summary: Arterio-venous grafts (AVGs) are commonly used for long-term vascular access in hemodialysis. Intimal hyperplasia (IH) caused by unfavorable hemodynamic conditions is the main reason for AVG failure. This study utilizes computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to assess the impact of different geometrical designs on the hemodynamic conditions at the venous anastomosis. The results show that optimizing the anastomosis angle and introducing cross-sectional ridges in the graft can significantly reduce the risk of IH development.

Selecting superior fin geometry among four suggested geometries for shell and helically coiled finned tube heat exchangers with numerical simulation and experimental validation

A. K. Rostami, D. D. Ganji

Summary: In this study, the authors investigated the performance of a shell and helically coiled finned tube heat exchanger using numerical and experimental methods. They examined the heat exchanger with simple annular fins for the first time and proposed four new fin geometries, selecting the stepped fin geometry as the superior design. The authors developed correlations to predict the mean Nusselt number on both the shell and tube sides, with good accuracy (maximum 10% error) for calculating the Nusselt numbers. The results showed that the mean Nusselt number of the coil side was consistent across all geometries, and the Reynolds number had little effect on the mean Nusselt number on the other side.

Investigation of second grade viscoelastic non-Newtonian nanofluid flow on the curve stretching surface in presence of MHD

Kh. Hosseinzadeh, M. R. Mardani, M. Paikar, A. Hasibi, T. Tavangar, M. Nimafar, D. D. Ganji, Mohammad Behshad Shafii

Summary: The MHD extended flow of second-grade viscoelastic nanofluid on a curve stretching surface in two-dimensional mode is investigated, considering factors such as Joule heating and curvature parameter to examine the heat and mass transfer rates. Nonlinear ordinary differential system is obtained through appropriate transformations, and the quasi-linearization method is used for numerical solutions. The influence of specific variables on the fluid properties is studied. It is concluded that increasing the Schmidt number prevents the growth of fluid concentration, while temperature increases due to an increment in radiation parameter. The viscous fluid velocity and concentration decrease faster compared to the viscoelastic fluid. The surface drag force is an increasing function of the non-Newtonian fluid. Increasing the values of Nt and Nb leads to a higher heat transfer rate for the second-grade fluid compared to the Newtonian fluid. The mass transfer of the second-grade fluid is significantly affected by the Schmidt number and chemical reaction parameters compared to the Newtonian fluid.

Simulation for charging of phase change material in existence of nanomaterial within solar energy storage system

M. Jafaryar, M. Sheikholeslami

Summary: Regarding the thermal management of the storage unit, one possible solution is to use an extended surface made of highly conductive metallic materials. This study suggests four different arrangements of the system by changing the number and thickness of plates, and solid matrix made of Silicon Carbide, Aluminum, and Stainless Steel. Additionally, loading alumina nanoparticles improves the heat absorption of the phase change material. Increasing the number of radial plates and reducing their thickness enhances heating penetration. The best case in terms of melting speed is achieved when using 40 plates with a thickness of 0.5 mm made of SiC material, resulting in a 87.84% reduction in melting time compared to the worst case.

Surface adsorption of adenine on pristine and B/N/O/P-doped coronene as a biosensing substrate for DNA detection- DFT study

R. Aneesh Kumar, S. Jamelah Al-Otaibi, Y. Sheena Mary, Y. Shyma Mary, Nivedita Acharjee, Renjith Thomas, Renjith Raveendran Pillai, T. L. Leena

Summary: In this study, the interactions between doped and pristine coronenes and adenine nucleobases were investigated using Density Functional Theory. The optimal configurations, adsorption energies, charge transfer, and electrical properties of each complex were calculated. It was found that doped coronene had stronger adsorption strength and charge transfer compared to pristine coronene. The stability of the complexes was attributed to non-covalent interactions in the interactive region. The change in electrical conductivity of coronenes after adsorption suggested their sensitivity towards DNA bases. The predicted energy gap and prolonged recovery time for adenine-coronene configurations indicated the potential application of pristine/doped coronene in DNA detection.

Summary: This study evaluated the adsorption of zolpidem on magnetic graphene oxide and synthesized magnetic graphene oxide adsorbents for zolpidem removal. The best magnetic nanoadsorbent was found to have a removal percentage of 87.07% at specific pH and temperature conditions. The results suggest that the removal of zolpidem is related to the surface chemistry of the adsorbent rather than the surface area of graphene oxide. The adsorbent showed excellent adsorption efficiency and magnetic behavior, making it a promising material for removing zolpidem from aqueous solutions.
