The use of circular dimpled pipes, surfaces, and other techniques to promote heat transmission has been the subject of several studies in the past. Reviews are conducted on a sizable number of research papers pertaining to computational and experimental investigations. Various characteristics, including Reynolds number (Re), geometric parameter, and nanofluids, have been discovered to impact flow and improve energy transfer in various configurations. The heat transfer of a flow impinging on a pipe has been the subject of just a few studies because of the pipe's intricate design, the use of many materials for its construction, and the difficulties in conducting a thorough experimental research. Profiles of the working nanofluid's mean velocity, turbulence rates, and heat transfer coefficients are often shown in investigations. It was found that, in comparison to a simple tube heat exchanger, the dimples enhanced the heat transfer coefficient of the pipe heat exchanger. Although the heat performance was greater than that of a plain pipe, a larger pressure loss was observed in comparison to plain pipe heat exchangers. For example, the dimples' size and location greatly affect the flow and thermal characteristics of the pipe. In this work, the thermal-hydraulic performance of dimpled tubes with different geometric pitches, two different types of helical pattern configurations (15<sup>0</sup> and 30<sup>0</sup>) for the dimple structure, and six different dimple populations will be numerically investigated for a constant velocity under a constant external heat flux. The dimple pipe utilised in the simulation is built using three different sorts of materials. Due to their high heat conductivity, copper, aluminium, and cast iron are the materials for pipe used in the simulation.</p>2024-03-28T06:10:19+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of I.C.

Among these fuel cells, proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) have the potential for use in automotive applications due to their low operating temperatures as well as high power density. Furthermore, these PEMFC power sources are also available in various power ranges and capacities for diverse vehicle applications. However, a challenging task is the selection of optimised fuel cell power configurations for heavy-duty truck applications due to cost sensitivity and competitiveness in the Indian market. Therefore, considering the above scenario, for finalising the design specifications of the fuel cell system, a simulation study to understand PEMFC performance based on the vehicle operating conditions is significant to determining the suitable fuel cell power capacity for truck applications. Accordingly, a truck fuel cell electric vehicle model with > 30 to 40 tonnes of payload capacity is developed using GT-SUITE software for a performance simulation study. Based on the simulation results, a 100 kW fuel cell power is selected for the given truck payload capacity, and their performances are discussed in this paper. </span></p>2024-01-23T05:32:58+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of I.C.

V. Naveen Prakashgvnp@vvce.ac.inNithyananda B.Sgvnp@vvce.ac.inVinay K.Bgvnp@vvce.ac.inS.A. Mohankrishnagvnp@vvce.ac.in<p>Pongamia oil and simarouba oil are mixed in equal volume to prepare the composite oil. The composite oil is processed through two stage transesterification process to produce composite biodiesel. The composite biodiesel blends are prepared by mixing neat biodiesel with diesel by 5%, 10% and 20% volume respectively. The engine control factors viz., injection pressure, injection timing and fuel preheating temperature are considered for evaluating the performance of composite biodiesel blends on CRDI engine. The experiments are carried out at injection pressure of 600 bar, 21˚bTDC and 40˚C of fuel temperature. On comparison of biodiesel blends, it is observed that BTE is higher and BSFC is lower for composite biodiesel blends than diesel. The emissions such as CO and CO<sub>2</sub> are found to be lower, and NOx is found to be higher for composite biodiesel blends than diesel.</p>2024-01-22T11:28:42+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 International Journal of I.C.

Engine. It becomes less effective at the intake manifold's runner's outlets due to an uneven flow distribution of the intake air. With an increase in velocity at the distribution channels, the presented study seeks to make this uneven velocity distribution nearly equal without requiring any additional significant changes to the entrance manifold's construction. Standard engine intake manifold elsewhere available is used for experimental testing, to examine the variation of velocity of air flow at outlet of four runners. To change the intake manifold's geometry, a 3-D model of the real manifold is first created using software for designing (PRO-E), and the design model's certification is subsequently completed using the FLUENT commercial CFD program. To get the intended better outcomes, two additional models of the same intake manifold with different design configurations are completed in software then examine the result of these two models with original one to locate out pressure and velocity losses. Following model analysis, it is shown that pressure losses are caused by the depth cuts at the extreme of the plenum, projected stiffeners, and veiled nut extensions. As a result, there is uneven distribution at the runner's outlets. By restructuring the intake manifold's plenum and releasing it from undesired hidden projection inside the plenum, the inlet manifold can achieve virtually similar velocities in all four runners. The findings indicate a virtually equal distribution in all four runners, with outlet 1 seeing a 14% increase in air flow velocity and the other three runners of the input manifold experiencing approximate 5% to 7% increases.</p>2023-12-07T04:49:07+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 International Journal of I.C.

Alternative fuels have been extensively researched to improve energy efficiency. A study examines how alternative fuel affects compression ignition (CI) engine performance, pollution, and combustion. Biogas is investigated as a diesel engine fuel substitute in this study using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Upon doing a thorough examination of the existing studies, it can be concluded that biogas exhibits promising potential as a viable alternative to diesel engines. The process involved the conversion of diesel engines of moderate size to operate on biogas. The engine underwent comprehensive testing in many situations and was afterwards compared to a diesel-only engine. Biogas engines performed similarly to diesel engines in middle speed and high torque. The biogas engine exhibited inferior performance compared to the diesel engine when operating at higher velocities and lower levels of torque. The attainment of precision is accomplished through the utilization of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for the purposes of conducting combustion and emission assessments. In the context of combustion, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) investigations have revealed the presence of a stable flow characteristic in layer formation systems, which has been found to enhance the accuracy of simulations.</p><p><em> </em></p>2023-12-07T04:23:32+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 International Journal of I.C.
