SYNOPSIS OF MY PROJECT

SYNOPSIS

The project work is intended to design and make a performance study of both parallel parallel and counter flow multi tube heat exchanger.

The heat exchanger is fabricated according to the design details given in the report and a performance study is carried out by varying the flow rate of both hot and cold fluids. Various parameters like heat capacity, overall heat transfer coefficient, effectiveness have been determined. By measuring the terminal temperatures LMTD have been determined.NTU vs effectiveness have been plotted for one value of heat capacity ratio Cmin / Cmax = 0.05 .

It has been found that as NTU increases the effectiveness also increases upto a value 75% and there after the effectiveness is found to be remain constant in case of parallel flow heat exchanger. For a counter flow heat exchanger the effectiveness is found to increase with increase in NTU. After attaining a value 80% the effectiveness is found to remain constant for increase in NTU.

The setup is found to be suitable for carrying out experimentson heat exchanger performance.

TRIP FROM INDIA TO OMAN

hi friends i am back ...i know its been long time since i have written any thing due to which some of my friends r not happy ....so this post for all those friends and especial pdr.....so back with my post as it says TRIP FROM INDIA TO OMAN its says most of the essence of this post but i want to tell u this as it was my first chance to sit in international flight but also to work in soil which was far away from mine.

Basic Engine Parts

Basic Engine Parts:- The core of the engine is the cylinder, with the piston moving up and down inside the cylinder. The engine described above has one cylinder. That is typical of most lawn mowers , but most cars have more than one cylinder (four, six and eight cylinders are common). In a multi-cylinder engine, the cylinders usually are arranged in one of three ways: inline , V or flat (also known as horizontally opposed or boxer), as shown in the following figures. Different configurations have different advantages and disadvantages in terms of smoothness, manufacturing cost and shape characteristics. These advantages and disadvantages make the more suitable for certain vehicles. Let's look at some key engine parts in more detail. Spark plug The spark plug supplies the spark that ignites the air/fuel mixture so that combustion can occur. The spark must happen at just the right moment for things to work proper
