Rotameter calibration report for multiple fluidsSakib Shahriar
The study calibrated a rotameter for measuring the flow rates of multiple fluids. To calibrate the rotameter, the volumetric flow rate of water was measured for different rotameter readings by collecting water in a bucket over timed intervals. From the water flow rate readings, the rotameter coefficient (C) and Reynolds number (Re) were calculated and plotted against each other to obtain the calibration curve, which allows determining the flow rates of other fluids like kerosene from their properties and the rotameter reading.
Variational Solution of Axisymmetric Fluid Flow in Tubes with Surface So...Santosh Verma
The problem of axisymmetric heat conduction with internal surface solidification in the regions of tube is discussed. An approximate analytical solution is presented to this
nonlinear, two dimensional free boundary problem. The analysis employs a variational technique which extends the Lagrangian formalism to treat the internal flow, two-dimensional moving-interface problems. The solution is expressed in the terms of the short-time and steady-state components. Two forms of the variational solution are presented. One has limited validity in the entrance region of the tube, and the other, while less general , is more accurate.

Comparative Analysis Fully Developed Turbulent Flow in Various Arbitrary Cros...IRJET Journal
This document presents a comparative computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of fully developed turbulent flow in circular, triangular, and rectangular cross-section pipes using the finite volume method. The study examines the flow of water at high Reynolds numbers using the k-ε turbulence model. Contour plots show that triangular duct has the highest dynamic pressure at the outlet, while rectangular duct has higher dynamic pressure than circular duct at the center and outlet. Turbulent intensity graphs indicate intensity increases more significantly after certain distances in circular and triangular ducts, but continuously increases along the rectangular duct length due to less variation in boundary layer and viscous sublayer.

Prediction of flow characteristics through a circular port of a spool valve u...eSAT Journals
Abstract Hydraulic spool valves are used in a variety of industrial equipment’s like earth moving machinery, aircrafts and machine tools etc. A hydraulic spool valve is a switching device used for controlling hydraulic devices. A spool valve can turn the flow of hydraulic fluid from a hydraulic pump to an actuator in forward or reverse directions or on and off by blocking offthe route of the fluid takes. A controller moves the valve back and forth in its case to slide the spools into different positions. As the spool moves across the inlet port, the port which is initially fully open, circular in shape and permitting the fluid flow, is getting closed gradually. Once the spool starts moving, the inlet port becomes non circular and continues to be so till closure. The shape and the area of the port that is still left open for the oil to flow is steadily changing. The area which is originally circular is becoming far away from circularity. It is required to study the flow in such port-spool combination. The purpose of the dissertation is to compute the flow for different port openings. ANSYS CFD FLOTRAN software is used to predict the flow characteristics. The exact flow path is simulated. The predicted results are compared with the analytical calculations. Key words- Spool valve, Simulation, Flow Characteristics, CFD
This document discusses the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of flow through a butterfly valve. It aims to determine the head loss coefficient and flow coefficient for the valve at different opening angles (30°, 60°, 75°, 90°). The CFD software ANSYS ICEM was used to model the valve geometry and ANSYS CFX was used to simulate the flow. The results found that the velocity increased with opening angle while head loss coefficient decreased. Streamlines became more uniform at higher openings. Numerical results closely matched experimental data, validating the CFD analysis method. The study provides a less expensive and time-consuming alternative to experimental testing of large butterfly valves.

This document discusses fluid mechanics concepts and fluid flow measurement techniques. It begins with defining different types of fluid flows such as steady/unsteady, uniform/non-uniform, and laminar/turbulent flows. It then describes measuring techniques for pressure, including static, dynamic, and stagnation pressures. Common pressure measurement instruments like the U-tube manometer and pressure transducers are also introduced. The document concludes with discussing the boundary layer and formulas for calculating volume flow rate by measuring velocity and duct area.
The document is a lab report for experiments on fluid mechanics conducted using a virtual fluid mechanics laboratory. The report includes two main sections - the Reynolds experiment and the Venturimeter experiment. The Reynolds experiment determines the Reynolds number and classifies flow patterns as laminar, transitional, or turbulent based on the Reynolds number. The Venturimeter experiment determines the coefficient of discharge for a given Venturimeter by measuring flow rates and verifying Bernoulli's equation. The experiments were conducted virtually using simulation software that allows regulating flow and observing flow patterns. Results were recorded and Reynolds numbers were calculated from flow measurements at different flow rates.

Paper Title
Particle Swarm Optimization–Long Short-Term Memory based Channel Estimation with Hybrid Beam Forming Power Transfer in WSN-IoT Applications
Authors
Reginald Jude Sixtus J and Tamilarasi Muthu, Puducherry Technological University, India
Abstract
Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) helps to overcome various difficulties in future technology wireless communications. NOMA, when utilized with millimeter wave multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, channel estimation becomes extremely difficult. For reaping the benefits of the NOMA and mm-Wave combination, effective channel estimation is required. In this paper, we propose an enhanced particle swarm optimization based long short-term memory estimator network (PSOLSTMEstNet), which is a neural network model that can be employed to forecast the bandwidth required in the mm-Wave MIMO network. The prime advantage of the LSTM is that it has the capability of dynamically adapting to the functioning pattern of fluctuating channel state. The LSTM stage with adaptive coding and modulation enhances the BER.PSO algorithm is employed to optimize input weights of LSTM network. The modified algorithm splits the power by channel condition of every single user. Participants will be first sorted into distinct groups depending upon respective channel conditions, using a hybrid beamforming approach. The network characteristics are fine-estimated using PSO-LSTMEstNet after a rough approximation of channels parameters derived from the received data.

The transition from laminar to turbulent flow depends on the geometry,
surface roughness, flow velocity, surface temperature, and type of fluid.
The flow regime depends mainly on the ratio of inertial forces to viscous
forces (Reynolds number).

Determine the range of average velocity of flow for which the flow
would be in the transitional region if an oil of S.G. = 0.89 and
dynamic viscosity = 0.1 Ns/m2 is flowing in a 2-in pipe.

Hydrodynamic entrance region: The region from the pipe inlet to the point at
which the boundary layer merges at the centerline.
Hydrodynamic entry length Lh: The length of this region.
Hydrodynamically developing flow: Flow in the entrance region. This is the
region where the velocity profile develops.
Hydrodynamically fully developed region: The region beyond the entrance
region in which the velocity profile is fully developed and remains unchanged.
Fully developed: When both the velocity profile and the normalized
temperature profile remain unchanged.
Hydrodynamically fully developed
In the fully developed flow region of a
pipe, the velocity profile does not
change downstream, and thus the wall
shear stress remains constant as well.

The variation of wall shear stress
in the flow direction for flow in a
pipe from the entrance region into

The pressure drop is higher in the entrance regions of a pipe, and the
effect of the entrance region is always to increase the average friction
factor for the entire pipe.

Entry Lengths
The hydrodynamic entry length is usually taken to be the distance from the pipe entrance to

LAMINAR FLOW IN PIPES
We consider steady, laminar, incompressible flow of a fluid with constant properties in the fully
developed region of a straight circular pipe.
In fully developed laminar flow, each fluid particle moves at a constant axial velocity along a streamline
and the velocity profile u(r) remains unchanged in the flow direction.
Free-body diagram of a ring-shaped differential fluid
element of radius r, thickness dr, and length dx
oriented coaxially with a horizontal pipe in fully
developed laminar flow.
There is no motion in the radial direction, and thus the
velocity component in the direction normal to the pipe
axis is everywhere zero. There is no acceleration since
the flow is steady and fully developed.
