During the converter steelmaking process, the presence of supersonic oxygen jets can provide oxygen to high-temperature metal baths that promotes chemical reactions in the bath, accelerates the smelting rhythm, and facilitates a uniform distribution of the ingredients in the bath. In this paper, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model with combustion reactions is established and compared to the results of combustion experiment. This paper studies the behavior and fluid flow characteristics of supersonic oxygen jets under different environmental compositions under a steelmaking temperature of 1873 K. This validated CFD model can be used to investigate the effect of furnace gas on supersonic oxygen jet characteristics during the converter steelmaking process. The results indicate that the composition of furnace gas has an impact on the characteristics of the oxygen jet. Specifically, as the carbon monoxide (CO) volume fraction increases, the high velocity region of supersonic oxygen jet increases, and the high temperature and the high turbulent kinetic energy regions expand.

Wing Airfoil

Winglet is a tool used to improve the efficiency of aircraft and UAV performance by preventing fluid flow jump from lower surface to upper surface at wingtip. The addition of this winglet resulted in improved lift and reduction of drag force from the aircraft wing or UAV. From Whitcomb's research, it was found that the use of winglet on a full size airplane can increase fuel efficiency by 7%. The research led to the idea of conducting research on fluid flow characteristics on the UAV wing with the Eppler 562 airfoil combined with the whitcomb winglet. This numerical study was conducted using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method based on the advantages of using this simulation that can review the fluid flow in macroscopic way. This study is provide accurate fluid flow visualization results and can improve the performance of the wings when compared with wings without winglet (plain wing). Wing with the Eppler 562 airfoil combined with the whitcomb winglet results reduction in rotating motion that makes velocity components as opposed to lift.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to numerically study the phenomenon of separation and subsequent reattachment that happens due to a sudden contraction or expansion in flow geometry, in addition, to investigating the effect of nanoparticles suspended in water on heat transfer enhancement and fluid flow characteristics. Design/methodology/approach Turbulent forced convection flow over triple forward facing step (FFS) in a duct is numerically studied by using different types of nanofluids. Finite volume method is employed to carry out the numerical investigations. with nanoparticles volume fraction in the range of 1-4 per cent and nanoparticles diameter in the range 30-75 nm, suspended in water. Several parameters were studied, such as the geometrical specification (different step heights), boundary conditions (different Reynolds [Re] numbers), types of fluids (base fluid with different types of nanoparticles), nanoparticle concentration (different volume fractions) and nanoparticle size. Findings The numerical results indicate that the Nusselt number increases as the volume fraction increases, but it decreases as the diameter of the nanoparticles of nanofluids increases. The turbulent kinetic energy and its dissipation rate increase as Re number increases. The velocity magnitude increases as the density of nanofluids decreases. No significant effect of increasing the three steps heights on Nusselt along the heated wall, except in front of first step where increasing the first step height leads to an increase in the recirculation zone size adjacent to it. Research limitations/implications The phenomenon of separation and subsequent reattachment happened due to a sudden contraction or expansion in flow geometry, such as forward facing and backward facing steps, respectively, can be recognized in many engineering applications where heat transfer enhancement is required. Some examples include cooling systems for electronic equipment, heat exchanger, diffusers and chemical process. Understanding the concept of these devices is very important from the engineering point of view. Originality/value Convective heat transfer can be enhanced passively by changing flow geometry, boundary conditions, the traditional fluids or by enhancing thermal conductivity of the fluid. Great attention has been paid to increase the thermal conductivity of base fluid by suspending nano-, micro- or larger-sized particles in fluid. The products from suspending these particles in the base fluid are called nanofluids. Many studies have been conducted to investigate the heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics over FFS. This study is the first where nanofluids are employed as working fluids for flow over triple FFS.

Wall jet flow is used for industrial cooling process, cooling of electronic component mounted on circuit board etc. Numerical simulations have been carried out for laminar two dimensional wall jet flows along curved cavity having a channel mounted thin fin. The commercial finite volume code FLUENT is chosen to resolve the mass balance and momentum balance equations. Fluid flow characteristics are investigated for different Reynolds number (Re=100 to 600) and for different fin geometry. The results are plotted in the form of velocity profiles and streamline contours. The effect of fin length on the laminar wall jet characteristics is also investigated.

The objective of this paper is to numerically study the flow feature and combustion phenomena of an energy-saving cooking burner using three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Combustion temperatures were experimentally and numerically investigated in order to not only validate the CFD model, but also describe the combustion phenomena. From the temperature comparison, the CFD model was good agreement with the experiment, having the error of less than 5.86%. Based upon the insight from the CFD model, the high temperature of 1,286 K occurred at the middle of the burner. The high intensive vortex of the flow being enhanced the combustion intensity and the heat transfer coefficient is obvious observed near the burner head inside the ring. Therefore, it is concluded that the burner ring is the major part since it controls flame structure, high temperature region, intensive combustion region, heat loss and suitable flow feature. However, heat transfer to the vessel should be further clarified by the CFD model.

Concept of the water mist spray in CKV system is to clean the gas filter at kitchen hood. This research aims to analyze the behavior and flow characteristics of water mist spray produced by spray nozzle. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model with k-epsilon turbulence method is a simulation tool for the characterization of sprays. The fluid flow for case1, case 2 and case 3 have the same pattern type of graph. Changes have seen in fluid flow pressure and velocity. The value of fluid flow pressure was decreasing from the first point at water inlet until to the last point at nozzle orifice. The total pressure values for case 1, case 2, and case 3 are 99.997 kPa, 199.991 kPa and 299.992 kPa respectively. The highest velocity is recorded at the liquid tip of the nozzle which is about 144.15 m/s for case 3. In the other hand, the highest value of fluid flow pressure was recorded at the water inlet part.

To investigate the effect of air flow in an pneumatic splicer on splicing performance, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model has been developed to simulate the air flow characteristics in an splicing chamber. Three-dimensional numerical simulation is conducted and standard K-ε turbulence model is used. Velocity distributions in the chamber are presented and analyzed. The computational results show that the velocities in the chamber are transonic. The air flows in the chamber are two swirling flows with opposite directions. This work also shows that CFD technique can provide a better understanding of the behavior of the high speed air flow in the air splicing chamber.
