Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work presented in this thesis includes a detailed study of passive jet flow control as applied to an automotive side-view mirror. Numerical analysis as well as experimental prototype tests are conducted on three models of mirrors: one baseline model and two others with variable jet strength. An open inlet draws a certain amount of flow, passes it through a converging duct, and exhausts the flow as a jet with an angle toward the center of the mirror. The jet forms a boat-tail effect that entrains high energy flow from the free stream to the base area, increasing the base pressure, and reducing the base drag. Throughout this thesis, drag reduction compared to the conventional automotive mirror is proven and detailed through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation validated with wind tunnel experiments. The CFD algorithm employed is high order large eddy simulation (LES) and the code is produced by the CFD research group at the University of Miami. The jet 1 model has an inlet area that is 10% of the base area and is shown to have a drag decrease of 29.41% in CFD. In the jet 2 model, which has a four times larger inlet, we see a 40.91% drag decrease in CFD. This drag decrease is primarily due to wake reduction. The jet is observed as pulsing into the base area. The jet pulsation on the mid vertical and horizontal plane has a phase lag. The pulsing jet introduces coherent structures that enhance the entrainment of the main flow to the base area. An interesting phenomenon is observed that the jet generates negative entropy, which means the jet is energized by the free stream. The passive flow control is thus similar to an active jet flow control in this way. The mechanism of the negative entropy is not fully understood yet at this stage; more study are needed. The following are some task that warrant investigation: LES with refined grid to resolve the wake better in order to match the experimental PIV measurements, study the effect of different jet flow angle, study the inlet and outlet ratio effect on the mixing and entrainment, and scaling for the drag reduction with the geometric parameters.

This book was released on 2004-09 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book includes the carefully edited contributions to the United Engineering Foundation Conference: The Aerodynamics of Heavy Vehicles: Trucks, Buses and Trains held in Monterey, California from December 2-6, 2002. This conference brought together 90 leading engineering researchers discussing the aerodynamic drag of heavy vehicles. The book topics include a comparison of computational fluid dynamics calculations using both steady and unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes, large-eddy simulation, and hybrid turbulence models and experimental data obtained from wind tunnel experiments. Advanced experimental techniques including three-dimensional particle image velocimetry are presented as well, along with their use in evaluating drag reduction devices.

Book Synopsis Green Electronics/Green Bottom Line by : Lee H Goldberg
Download or read book Green Electronics/Green Bottom Line written by Lee H Goldberg and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1999-11-05 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmentally safe engineering is one of the hottest and most controversial topics in technical circles. Though many publications offer theory and intellectual discussion of the topic, this book provides practical, hands-on advice including hints and tips from the nation's top engineers. Green Electronics/Green Bottom Line offers practical advice for engineers and managers who want or need to incorporate environmental issues into the design process. The emerging discipline of Design for the Environment (DfE) combines engineering know-how with environmental awareness. Topics include international policy issues such as ISO 14000, materials selection (e.g., for recyclability), manufacturing concerns like no-flux processes, and design issues such as power consumption. Real-world cases show how these elements can be included in everyday designs. Each chapter opens with a topical cartoon and lively story, interview or editorial. The discussion will then move to specific engineering issues and their economic and social context. The last section explores larger possibilities and new directions still to be explored by engineers concerned with education, health, and environmental quality. Contributors include engineers from Motorola, Analog Devices, Dupont, Compaq, Nortel, AMD, and Apple Computer, and academics from universities in the US, Canada, the UK, and Europe, as well as the Rocky Mountain Institute. - An everyday guide to environmentally sound electronics design - Contributors include top engineers from the biggest electronics manufacturers and most prestigious universities - Real-world cases illustrate topics giving concepts the reader can apply immediately
