Aerodynamic analysis and design of a solar powered vehicle using CFD
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)The need for solar-powered vehicles is increasing as the threat of depletion of non-renewable energy sources, such as oil, increases. This gives reason for developing electric vehicles powered by renewable energy sources, ... -
Analysis of flow through cylindrical packed beds with small cylinder diameter to particle diameter ratios
(2014)The wall effect is known to present difficulties when attempting to predict the pressure drop over randomly packed beds. The Nuclear Safety Standard Commission, “Kerntechnischer Auss-chuss" (KTA), made considerable efforts ... -
Investigation into the velocity distribution through an annular packed bed
(North-West University, 2009)The purpose of this study was to investigate the velocity distribution through an annular bed packed randomly with equal sized spheres. Extensive research has been conducted on the velocity distribution inside packed ... -
The modelling of particle build up in shell–and–tube heat exchangers due to process cooling water
(North-West University, 2013)Sasol Limited experiences extremely high particulate fouling rates inside shell-and-tube heat exchangers that utilize process cooling water. The water and foulants are obtained from various natural and process sources ... -
Thermal fluid network model for a prismatic block in a gas-cooled reactor using FLOWNEX
(2015)Very High Temperature Reactors are complex reactors and various system codes have been developed to design different aspects such as neutronics, thermal hydraulics etc. Flownex is one of the system codes and it has been ...
