ME Dissertation Project:
“CHARACTERISTICS
OF FLOW THROUGH A SHORT CYLINDER WITH LIQUID INLET AND OUTLET ON THE SAME BASE
-- A FINITE ELEMENT PARAMETRIC STUDY”
SYNOPSIS:
Short cylinders, where the liquid enters and leaves through
the same base, are employed in heat exchangers, combustion chambers, reactors,
and pneumo-hydraulic and ventilation systems, as well as in cylinders of
reciprocating internal combustion engines and compressors.
Several experimental investigations have been carried out to study the flow
pattern through the short cylinder. The fluid consider in the experiment were:
·
Water.
·
Air
Flow
patterns were studied by varying the geometric parameters of the short cylinder
and flow Reynolds number. Stradomskiy .M.V et al [1] have conducted a detailed study of the
flow pattern in a short cylinder of diameter D and length L and the inlet pipe
diameter d. The geometric parameters considered are
the following:
- The L/D ratio was varied from 1 to 2
- d/D ratio was varied from 0.14 to 0.28
- The Reynolds number for the flow was varied from
2E+02 to 1E+05 which cover both laminar and turbulent flows.
Photographs
of the flow were obtained by flow visualization techniques using Aluminum
powder dispersed in the flow. In continuation of the above experimental work
the present dissertation work is taken up. The major objectives of the work
reported in the thesis are:
- To carry out a comprehensive literature survey
on short cylinders and the experimental study of flow patterns through
them.
- To provide an overview on Finite Element Method
applied to the study of fluid flow problems.
- To carry out an extensive parametric study using
Finite Element Method and to simulate cold flow through the short
cylinder.
The front-end
commercial software Ansys 5.4 is
used in the current investigation. The flow domain is modeled using fluid141 element available in Ansys element library. Investigations
are conducted for flow of water through the short cylinder under room
temperature conditions.

typical results of the investigation:
