The current state of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has yet to reach its full promise as a general tool for engineering design and simulation. Research in the areas of code robustness, complex flows of real fluids, and numerical errors and resolution are proposed as directions aiming toward that goal. We illustrate some of the current CFD challenges using selected applications.

Thermal comfort in the room is achieved by maintaining temperatures between 20 °C to 25 °C, as a result of air temperature. The main objective of the present work to study the thermal comfort in office room by changing the design of inlet and outlet duct position using computational fluid dynamics analysis. The present review includes various factors related with thermal comfort of office room, like temperature and air flow inside the office room, that affect the thermal comfort for the occupants. Areas in which additional information is required are identified and comments are made regarding future research directions. From the above literature study, it has been observed that in the field of thermal comfort for the office room lot of work have been seen in worldwide and still going on so there is a scope to work on this field.

AbstractAlgorithmic decision-making is becoming increasingly common as a new source of advice in HR recruitment and HR development. While firms implement algorithmic decision-making to save costs as well as increase efficiency and objectivity, algorithmic decision-making might also lead to the unfair treatment of certain groups of people, implicit discrimination, and perceived unfairness. Current knowledge about the threats of unfairness and (implicit) discrimination by algorithmic decision-making is mostly unexplored in the human resource management context. Our goal is to clarify the current state of research related to HR recruitment and HR development, identify research gaps, and provide crucial future research directions. Based on a systematic review of 36 journal articles from 2014 to 2020, we present some applications of algorithmic decision-making and evaluate the possible pitfalls in these two essential HR functions. In doing this, we inform researchers and practitioners, offer important theoretical and practical implications, and suggest fruitful avenues for future research.

The threat of accidental or deliberate toxic chemicals released into public spaces is a significant concern to public safety. The real-time detection and mitigation of such hazardous contaminants has the potential to minimize harm and save lives. We develop a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) flow control model with the capability of detecting and mitigating such contaminants. Furthermore, we develop a physical prototype to then test the computer model. The physical prototype is in its final stages of construction. Its current state, along with preliminary examples of the flow control model are presented throughout this paper.

This paper details the procedures necessary to accurately determine the stress in the bolts on a coke gasifier inlet flange using current state-of-the-art practices. Using accepted ASME Code practices (ASME [1]), the stress results are then used to justify the elimination of the spacers that were specified in the original design. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is employed to determine heat transfer coefficient distributions in the areas of interest. Finite element (FE) analysis is used to compute the transient assembly temperatures and related bolt stresses. By evaluating the bolt stresses as specified in ASME Div. 1 [1], these analyses were used to determine that the spacers could safely be eliminated during operation.
