The vortex shedding phenomenon in the wake region behind bluff bodies is the most significant feature of flow around these bodies. One consideration regarding this phenomenon is the induced unsteady loading on the structure ...

Friction stir processing (FSP), originally based on friction stir welding, is believed to be a cost-effective solid state mechanical alloying technique very useful to produce composites. This makes use of a simple mechanical ...

In this study, experiments were conducted on single- and double-pass solar air heaters (SAHs) with baffles and sixteen wire mesh layers inserted between the baffles. The baffles and mesh layers were inserted in the collector ...

In this study, the thermal performance of the single and double pass solar air heaters with normal glass cover, Plexiglas cover, quarter and half perforated covers were investigated experimentally. In this system, the ...

ABSTRACT: Friction stir processing (FSP) as a promising thermo mechanical approach aims on altering the microstructural and mechanical properties of material in order to obtain the highest performance (increasing or ...

The energy demand all over the world has been continuously increased. The ever increasing cost, limited resources and possible environmental risks of using conventional energy resources have increased the renewable energy ...

FMEA is a widely used risk assessment tool for defining, identifying, and eliminating potential failures in a product, process, design, and services. Previous research efforts have focused on FMEA of Horizontal Axis Wind ...

Single point incremental forming (SPIF) being simple and flexible has potential to replace conventional process in order to produce customized cost-effective parts. It has found several applications in automobile, aerospace ...

Nowadays, most issues are associated with the growth of population and an increase in energy needs is no exception. Therefore, one of the ways to solve this problem is use of technologies based on renewable energy sources. In ...
