Thermal and flow dynamics of an inclined air heat exchanger equipped with spring turbulators in the transition flow regime.

The research involves an experimental investigation into the performance of a flow assisting air heat exchanger under varying angular orientation and uniform external heat fluxes without and with spring turbulators. The investigation was performed for Reynolds numbers ranging from 511 to 9676 and inclination angle 15° and 30°. Three heat fluxes (2, 3, and 4 kW/m) were applied to the test section to investigate the effect of external surface heating on the range of transition flow regime and thermohydraulic performance.

A novel design for solar collector used for water heating application having nanofluid as working medium: CFD modeling and simulation.

A solar collector is a simple and cheap device that converts solar radiation into valuable heat energy. The thermal performance of the solar collectors can be enhanced significantly with the suspension of nanoparticles in the base fluid. A novel design for a solar-assisted water heater (SWH) is proposed in the current study, and the effect of nanofluid has been investigated on the thermal efficiency of the SWH.

Modeling and simulation of high energy density lithium-ion battery for multiple fault detection.

Lithium-ion battery, a high energy density storage device has extensive applications in electrical and electronic gadgets, computers, hybrid electric vehicles, and electric vehicles. This paper presents multiple fault detection of lithium-ion battery using two non-linear Kalman filters. A discrete non-linear mathematical model of lithium ion battery has been developed and Unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is employed to estimate the model parameter.

Merits and Limitations of Mathematical Modeling and Computational Simulations in Mitigation of COVID-19 Pandemic: A Comprehensive Review.

Mathematical models have assisted in describing the transmission and propagation dynamics of various viral diseases like MERS, measles, SARS, and Influenza; while the advanced computational technique is utilized in the epidemiology of viral diseases to examine and estimate the influences of interventions and vaccinations. In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the COVID-19 as a global pandemic and the rate of morbidity and mortality triggers unprecedented public health crises throughout the world. The mathematical models can assist in improving the interventions, key transmission parameters, public health agencies, and countermeasures to mitigate this pandemic.

A novel CFD analysis to minimize the spread of COVID-19 virus in hospital isolation room.

The COVID-19 is a severe respiratory disease caused by a devastating coronavirus family (2019-nCoV) has become a pandemic across the globe. It is an infectious virus and transmits by inhalation or contact with droplet nuclei produced during sneezing, coughing, and speaking by infected people. Airborne transmission of COVID-19 is also possible in a confined place in the immediate environment of the infected person.
