Abstract This study aims to provide a comprehensive account of chemically reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) filled acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) multifunctional filaments for fused deposition modeling (FDM) applications. ABS/RGO with DBDPE nanocomposites (ABS-GDM) were fabricated by single-screw extrusion at a diameter of 1.75 mm. The proportion of RGO and DBDPE for the ABS-GDM filaments was set to 0.75 wt%. The properties of the ABS-GDM were determined using optical, mechanical, thermal, and morphological characteristics (using scanning electron microscopy). A three-dimensional (3D) model was successfully printed using the developed ABS-GDM filaments for FDM 3D printing. These ABS-GDM have the potential to… More >

Abstract Buildings with large open spaces in which chemicals are handled are often exposed to the risk of explosions. Computational fluid dynamics is a useful and convenient way to investigate contaminant dispersion in such large spaces. The turbulent Schmidt number (Sc_t) concept has typically been used in this regard, and most studies have adopted a default value. We studied the concentration distribution for sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) assuming different emission rates and considering the effect of Sc_t. Then we examined the same problem for a light gas by assuming hydrogen gas (H₂) as the contaminant. When SF₆ was considered as the contaminant… More >

Abstract Non-Newtonian flow and heat transfer in tubes of heat exchangers with reciprocating insert devices have been numerically investigated. The heat exchanger is mechanically assisted by a reciprocating cylinder, which moves the scraping rods inserted in the tubes. An array of semi-circular elements is mounted on each rod, with a pitch p=5D. These elements fit the internal diameter of the tubes. During the reciprocating motion, they scrape the inner tube wall, avoiding fouling. Additionally, the movement of the inserted device generates macroscopic displacements of the flow, which continuously mix core regions with peripheral flow. A power law model with temperature dependent… More >

Abstract Conjugate heat transfer from a flat circular disk is investigated both computationally and experimentally with a constant heat flux imposed on its bottom surface and a shower head of air jets impinging on the top surface. The shower head consists of a central jet surrounded by four neighboring perimeter jets. Measured temperature data at twelve locations within the plate are compared with the conjugate heat transfer result obtained at the same locations computationally by Shear Stress Transport (SST) κ-ω turbulence model. The spacing to orifice diameter ratio (H/d = 1 to 4), the jet Reynolds number (7115 to 10674) and… More >

Abstract False data injection attack (FDIA) is an attack that affects the stability of grid cyber-physical system (GCPS) by evading the detecting mechanism of bad data. Existing FDIA detection methods usually employ complex neural network models to detect FDIA attacks. However, they overlook the fact that FDIA attack samples at public-private network edges are extremely sparse, making it difficult for neural network models to obtain sufficient samples to construct a robust detection model. To address this problem, this paper designs an efficient sample generative adversarial model of FDIA attack in public-private network edge, which can effectively bypass the detection model to… More >

Abstract The spread and removal of pollution sources, namely, cough-released droplets in three different areas (front, middle, and rear areas) of a fully-loaded passenger car in a high-speed train under different fresh air flow volume were studied using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. In addition, the structure of indoor flow fields was also analysed. The results show that the large eddies are more stable and flow faster in the air supply under Mode 2 (fresh air volume: 2200 m³/h) compared to Mode 1 (fresh air volume: 1100 m³/h). By analysing the spreading process of droplets sprayed at different locations in the passenger car… More >

Abstract Researchers across the world are exploring the potential of using diethyl ether as an alternate fuel to meet the stringent emission norms due to the high oxygen content in the fuel. The spray characteristics of any injected fuel are highly influenced by its physical properties. Due to high injection pressure in CI engines the fuel tends to cavitate inside the nozzle greatly. The change in fuel properties will affect the cavitating behavior of the fuel. In this paper computational technique is used to study and compare the internal flow characteristics of a fuel injector for different blends of diethyl ether… More >

Abstract This paper presents a pre-mixed combustion model for diesel and Jatropha oil blends combustion studies. Jatropha oil blends are considered as a mixture of diesel and Jatropha oil. CFD package, FLUENT 6.3 is used for modeling the complex combustion phenomenon in compression ignition engine. The experiments are carried out on a single cylinder, four strokes, water cooled direct injection compression ignition engine at compression ratio of 17.5 at full load condition at constant speed of 1500 rpm fuelled with diesel and jatropha oil blends with diesel. The numerical model is solved by considering pressure based, implicit and unsteady solver and… More >

Abstract In this article, a Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovered (SEIR) epidemic model is considered. The equilibrium analysis and reproduction number are studied. The conventional models have made assumptions of homogeneity in disease transmission that contradict the actual reality. However, it is crucial to consider the heterogeneity of the transmission rate when modeling disease dynamics. Describing the heterogeneity of disease transmission mathematically can be achieved by incorporating fuzzy theory. A numerical scheme nonstandard, finite difference (NSFD) approach is developed for the studied model and the results of numerical simulations are presented. Simulations of the constructed scheme are presented. The positivity, convergence and consistency of the… More >

Abstract Among the various techniques for enhancing the storage and consumption of energy in a thermal energy storage system, the establishment of thermal stratification in a hot-water container is an effective technology. The current study aims to assess the performance of the thermal stratification for hot-water containers using (ANSYS Fluent) R.1.0, 2022, through the study of the impact of different numbers of paraffin-filled containers, namely 3, 5, and 7, that are equivalent to 5, 7, and 9 kg of paraffin, respectively. To validate the present numerical model, a comparison between the current study results and the experimental findings from the literature… More > Graphic Abstract
