Fundamental understanding of phase change mechanism of refrigerant flow in HVAC pipe2021-28-013909/15/2021
Few years ago having an AC in vehicle was considered as a luxury, but these days AC comes as a standard fitment in all the vehicles. With the increasing competition, auto OEMs constantly striving to provide better comfort to passengers which has led to a lot of development in vehicle HVAC systems. Any unwanted noise created due to refrigerant fluid inside HVAC pipe can be annoying and also lead to increasing owner complaints. Predicting noise caused by refrigerant flow through HVAC pipes is more challenging and a time consuming process. This becomes altogether more important for OEM’s to predict this source of noise at very early stage of vehicle development. In this present investigation an attempt has been made to simulate the refrigerant flow through pipes using Computational Fluid Dynamics to observe liquid refrigerant R134a flashing phenomenon using multi-phase model in ANSYS Fluent. In a vehicle HVAC piping system the refrigerant flows under a certain operating condition and pipe

Methodology to quantify the undesirable effects of the localized inefficiency of heat pick-up in suction line on an automotive air-conditioning system2020-28-003604/30/2020
The automotive application places very special demands on the air conditioning system. As is the case with any other process, system efficiency is very important and the automotive air-conditioning application is no exception. While the characteristics of all the major components in the air conditioning system like compressor, condenser, evaporator and blower contribute to overall system efficiency, localized inefficiencies do play a part and so must be kept to a minimum, especially in this day and age when extra emphasis is being paid on sustainability. One such phenomenon that contributes to the system inefficiency is heat pick-up in suction line. Since the temperature at the evaporator-outlet is quite lower than ambient and also its surroundings (steering system pipes and hoses, engine, air intake pipes and so on), the refrigerant picks up heat as it moves along the suction line up to the compressor inlet. This heat pick-up is detrimental to the overall system performance. Even

Fluid-Filled Frequency-Tunable Mass DamperTBMG-3525310/01/2019
Innovators at Marshall Space Flight Center developed the fluid-filled Frequency-Tunable Mass Damper (FTMD) technology that allows for significant distribution of loads while also providing a simple mechanism that allows for the capability to change its frequency of mitigation with negligible impact on the damper system. For existing fluid-filled pipes, ducts, ballast tanks, etc., the fluid can be leveraged to provide vibration mitigation. This new technology enables structural engineers to set and change the fundamental mitigation attributes of the mass damper system with little to no modification of the fluid container.
Deployable Emergency Shutoff Device Blocks High-Velocity Fluid FlowsTBMG-3493108/01/2019
NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center has developed a device and method for blocking the flow of fluid from an open pipe. The device plugs, controls, and meters the flow of gases and liquids. Anchored with friction fittings, spikes, or explosively activated fasteners, the device is well-suited for harsh environments and high fluid velocities and pressures. With the addition of instrumentation, it can also be used as a variable-area flow metering valve that can be set based upon flow conditions. With robotic additions, it can be configured to crawl into a pipe and then anchor and activate itself to block or control fluid flow.
Computational fluidodynamic study applied in incompressible air flow in automotive duct2018-36-008709/03/2018
The design of air ducts of an Automotive Ventilation System presents as one of the complicators the restriction of space. In its design a symmetrical configuration is not always possible, due to the presence of anothers components of the vehicle, thus the ducts are distributed in asymmetric structures and normally have sharp curves, configurations that contribute to the loss, irregular distribution of the flow and production of noise. This work presents a numerical study of the incompressible flow of air in the ducts of an automotive ventilation system. The purpose is to study and compare the behavior of the fluid dynamic flow, the loss on the process and the flow distribution between two different ducts: one with symmetrical geometry and the other one with asymmetrical geometry. The study was performed using commercial software Star CCM +® that employs finite volume method. The results for each type of duct were relevant to the conclusion that the non-symmetry of the ventilation duct

Passive High-Temperature Sealing DeviceTBMG-2753109/01/2017
Asealing device was developed that acts as a high-temperature shutoff valve for pipes and ducts. The device is an annular ring that can be slipped over the outside of the pipe (or built into a flanged spool piece). The cavity inside the device is filled with a gas, liquid, or even a solid. When exposed to an elevated temperature, the material in the cavity expands, providing sufficient inward force to collapse the thinner process pipe wall, stopping flow within the pipe.

Advanced Thermal Management SolutionsTBMG-2524408/01/2016
Now more than ever, devices with increasing power and smaller footprints are demanding a good stable costeffective thermal management solution. Fortunately many options are available today. However, for device packaging designers not familiar with these technologies, determining which thermal management technology is appropriate for their application can be a challenging task. To help sort out the many options, here is an overview of three very different thermal technologies: passive heat pipes, pumped two-phase cooling systems and temporary thermal storage/ phase change materials (PCM) heat sinks. In each case we’ll provide an overview of each of these technologies, explain how they function and provide some examples of when they should be considered.

Pulse-Echo Probe Mounting Fixture for Blind Alignment on PipesTBMG-2366101/01/2016
The probe and its mounting fixture are critical parts of the health monitoring of steam pipes. A high-temperature, piezoelectric transducer generates and receives ultrasonic waves, and the probe has to transmit the wave normal to the pipe surface. The mounting fixture is designed to allow for alignment of the probe even without a reference reflection, and thus enables blind alignment. In order to allow aligning of the probe normal to the surface of potential water condensation, and to secure intimate contact to the pipe surface, a novel mounting fixture was conceived and developed.

Fast Block Transforms on Large Binary Datasets in the Cloud Using Hadoop StreamingTBMG-2287809/01/2015
A software framework on top of Hadoop Streaming enables both the processing of binary data in the cloud, and the freedom for the developer to implement his or her mapper and reducer programs in any language, rather than re-implementing existing solutions in Java, or repackaging existing binary data into a text format. Binary data is partitioned into chunks that are kept in a persistent data storage medium. A textual list of filenames for these chunks is piped into a Hadoop Streaming mapper program, which then reads the corresponding files, computes block transforms locally, and writes the results back to persistent data storage. The mapper program is stored on all compute nodes, and the filenames are distributed in parallel across the cluster, so that the workload is evenly distributed and the end-to-end block transform speedup is roughly given by the number of nodes in the cluster.

A Parametric Investigation of Louvered Terminations for Rectangular Ducts2015-01-235606/15/2015
The insertion loss of louvered terminations positioned at the end of a rectangular duct is determined using acoustic finite element analysis. Insertion loss was determined by taking the difference between the sound power with and without the louvers at the termination. Analyses were conducted in the plane wave regime and the acoustic source was anechoic eliminating any reflections from the source. The effect of different louver configurations on insertion loss was examined. Parameters investigated included louver length, angle, and spacing between louvers. Based on the analyses, equations were developed for the insertion loss of unlined louvers.

Modeling and Characterization of a Novel Porous Metallic Foam Inside Ducts2015-01-220306/15/2015
A novel porous metallic foam has been studied in this work. This composite material is a mixture of resin and hollow spheres. It is lightweight, highly resistive to contamination and heat, and is capable of providing similar or better sound absorption compared to the conventional porous absorbers, but with a robust and less degradable properties. Several configurations of the material have been tested inside an expansion chamber with spatially periodic area changes. Bragg scattering was observed in some configurations with certain lattice constants. The acoustic properties of this material have been characterized from the measurement of the two-port matrix across a cylindrical sample. The complex density and speed of sound can be extracted from the transfer matrix using an optimization technique. Several models were developed to validate the effect of this metallic foam using Finite Elements and the Two-port Theory. There was a good agreement between both models and the measurement

Pressure Drop Characteristics of Perforated Pipes with Particular Application to the Concentric Tube Resonator2015-01-230906/15/2015
The bias flow in Concentric Tube Resonator (CTR) is a flow-induced phenomenon in which the pressure gradient along the radial direction is produced by the kinetic energy of the flow. As a result, the flow dynamics in CTR is characterized by bias flow into the annular cavity in the upstream and outflow from the annular cavity in the downstream of the flow. This is due to the change in direction of the radial component of the bias flow at a point called the point of recovery, as a consequence of mass conservation. The pressure drop of CTR is a complex function of the momentum flux and other geometric parameters such as porosity, open area ratio, discharge coefficient of the perforated holes, bias inflow, bias outflow, grazing flow and length. In this study, numerical experiments are conducted to obtain an empirical formula for the friction factor of perforated pipes which are extensively used in automotive mufflers. The finite element based numerical results are validated with test

Development of Fuel Filler Tube with Enhanced Adhesion Coating System on Ferrite Stainless Steel for LEV III2015-01-073004/14/2015
A pre-treatment technique for improving coating adhesion on stainless steel has been developed. This method dramatically enhances the adhesion between the stainless steel and the coating by pre-treating the stainless steel with a known nickel strike plating for a short period of time. Furthermore, when this process was applied to stainless fuel filler pipes to improve corrosion resistance, layout restrictions and chipping covers became unnecessary, costs were reduced, and vehicle weight was lowered.

Electromagnetic Waves Transformed from a Coherent to a Quasi-Coherent NatureTBMG-2125501/01/2015
The transformation of naturally occurring electromagnetic waves called “chorus” from a coherent nature to a quasi-coherent nature when propagating a distance from its source was demonstrated. The aim of the mission was to study the energizing of electrons by the waves and also the loss of these particles by interaction with the waves. Both of these processes will be affected by the quasi-coherent nature of chorus. This work indicates that if coherent waves are not propagated in enhanced ionization ducting, the waves will become only quasi-coherent, and their effect of scattering trapped particles will be substantially diminished.
