Lignocellulosic fibres have acquired prominence over past few years among researchers due to its prevalence in nature, biodegradability and high specific strength, among other factors. In this paper, mechanochemical route is used to obtain cellulosic nano fibres (CNF) from raw Delonix Regia fruits. CNFs are extracted with chemical treatments includ...

Lignocellulosic fibers have gained popularity among the research fraternity in recent years due to its abundance in nature, biodegradability, high specific strength, etc. Cellulose can be extracted from biomasses by various chemical and mechanical methods. In this paper, Delonix regia fruit fibers are presented as a new source of cellulose, and che...

In this entire article an effort is made to enhance the compressor working performance at off design conditions.There are presented CFD analysis for the performance investigation of variable inlet guide vane in subsonic axial flow compressor with the help of ANSYS 15 tools. In order to adopt to climate change and to meet the user requirements, the...

This paper discusses the effect on axial-flow compressor, when climatic conditions are changing. Ensuring compressor run at maximum effectiveness is a primary aim for operators. In the existing economic climate, whatever that increases productivity, and hence profit, is obviously welcome. From climate point of view, it is also significant that comp...

In this article a theoretical model is established to calculate the effect of compressor pressure ratio, turbine inlet temperature, ambient relative humidity and ambient temperature on the performance of an open gas turbine by using available thermodynamic succession data. To investigate the thermodynamic boundaries on the performance of gas turbin...

Viscoelasticity, as the name implies, is a property that combines elasticity and viscosity or in other words such materials store energy as well as dissipates it to the thermal domain when subjected to dynamic loading and most interesting the storage and loss of energy depends upon the frequency of excitation. Modeling of viscoelastic materials is...

Design of Turbo machinery is complex and efficiency is directly related to material performance, material selection is of prime importance. Temperature limitations are the most crucial limiting factors to gas turbine efficiencies. This paper presents the life of GTD 111 applied to gas turbine blade based on LCF and TMF test results. The LCF tests w...

This study investigated the effects of various natural fibers in a Bio-composite material. Different types of fibres viz sawdust, straw, rice husk and baggasse were used to prepare the samples and mechanical characterization were carried out. It was aimed to see the possibility of using bio-composite fibers, regarded as waste materials, in producin...

In the present study an effort is made to investigate the local regression rate, average regression rate through the effect of oxidizer injection pressure. For experimental investigation a lab scale ballistic test motor is designed and number of static test firing are carried out at different gaseous oxidizer injection pressure. The injection press...

The sharp increase in the cost of energy in recent years has led to a strong demand for more efficient electric generation and the evaluation of 1% of efficiency has become higher than of the price of generating equipment. Efficiency can be gained by replacing or modification one or several turbines components as well as improvement in hydraulic st...
