PERFORMANCE AND CARBON EFFICIENCY ANALYSIS OF BIOMASS VIA STRATIFIED GASIFIER

Recent concerns on environment, fuel price and scarcity of its supply have promoted interest in the development of renewable sources as a replacement. This paper aims to show the gasifier experimental finding based on performance and process efficiency. Wood chip was fed in stratified downdraft gasifier with air as gasi...

3-D conjugate heat transfer analysis of PLCC packages mounted in-line on a Printed Circuit Board

This paper presents a three dimensional heat and fluid flow analysis of two Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) packages mounted in tandem arrangement on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) exposed to the free stream velocity . The numerical simulation was done using FLUENT 6.3 and the experiments were performed by using an a...

CFD SIMULATION USING WOOD (CENGAL AND MERANTI) TO IMPROVE COOLING EFFECT FOR MALAYSIA GREEN BUILDING

In this study, heat transfer investigation is done in order to improve the cooling effect for green building without damaging the environment. This proposal is provoked by the desire to reduce the temperature for the green building and to sustain the environment and natural resources. The building industry is also a lar...

Thermal Fluid-Structure Interaction in the Effects of Pin-Through-Hole Diameter during Wave Soldering

An effective simulation approach is introduced in this paper to study the thermal fluid-structure interaction (thermal FSI) on the effect of pin-through-hole (PTH) diameter on the wave soldering zone. A 3D single PTH connector and a printed circuit board model were constructed to investigate the capillary flow behavior...

INFLUENCE OF ACTIVATED CARBON FILLER ON THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF WOOD COMPOSITES

This study is conducted to investigate the influence of activated carbon as filler on the mechanical properties of wood composite. It mainly focused on the strength, stress, and displacement of the wood composites. A composite material is defined as a combination of two or more materials that results in better propertie...
