This paper presents a comparison between a coupled and a non-coupled approach for the prediction of the cavitation development in pumps. The coupling is defined here as the influence of the development of the cavitation on the main flow. Commercial CFD (computational fluid dynamic) software having a cavitation module and in-house developed code are used for this comparison. The intention of the authors is to evaluate these methods and their capabilities in predicting cavitating performance of pumps from an industrial point of view. In a first part, the two methods used are introduced and developed. In a second part, the results of these two approaches are compared for two impellers of the same specific speed having small geometrical differences leading to significant differences in the cavitation development. The ability and the benefits of the use of these different cavitation prediction approaches in the design process of a pump are finally discussed.

Pengeringan merupakan proses perpindahan panas dan uap air secara simultan yang memerlukan energi panas untuk menguapkan kandungan air dari bahan yang akan dikeringkan. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan cara simulasi. Produk yang dipilih untuk simulasi ini yaitu teh. Simulasi numerik perpindahan massa pada teh dilakukan dengan menempatkan material teh pada domain komputasi sebuah aliran eksternal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis distribusi temperatur pada partikel teh dengan menggunakan Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) dan menganalisis pengaruh variasi kecepatan inlet dan temperatur inlet terhadap waktu pengeringan sehingga diperoleh metode pengeringan yang paling optimum pada pengeringan teh. Penurunan massa pada teh dihitung secara analitik dengan menggunakan persamaan laju penurunan massa. Teh dimodelkan dengan bentuk menyerupai silinder setelah dilakukan pelayuan untuk kemudian dikeringkan. Kecepatan masuk aliran udara dan temperatur masuk divariasikan sesuai dengan batas kecepatan minimum dan maksimum fluidisasi dan temperatur pengeringan teh untuk fluidized bed dryer. Waktu yang digunakan untuk menurunkan kadar air hingga 3% berdasarkan temperatur pada kecepatan 1,6 m/s secara berurutan adalah 354 s (880C), 300 s (930C), dan 256 s (980C). Sementara pada kecepatan 2,6 m/s waktu yag dibutuhkan adalah 277 s (880C), 234 s (930C), dan 200 s (980C) serta untuk kecepatan 3,6 m/s berturut-turut 235 s (880C), 199 s (930C), dan 169 s (980C). Untuk pengeringan teh lebih optimal dilakukan dengan menaikkan kececepatan masuk aliran fluida dibandingkan dengan menaikkan temperatur.

Artikel ini mempresentasikan evaluasi performansi tungku anil (annealing furnace) pada produksi aluminium foil dikarenakan mayoritas cacat produk bersumber pada proses anil. Selain itu, pengendalian proses statistik menggunakan skema EWMA dan CUSUM telah diimplementasikan untuk mengevaluasi kualitas proses secara keseluruhan pada produksi aluminium foil. Studi berbasis Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) telah dilakukan untuk mengevaluasi distribusi temperatur dan aliran udara di dalam tungku anil. Tungku anil dengan model inlet-outlet udara panas dari samping yang diinvestigasi pada artikel ini menunjukkan distribusi temperatur yang homogen, tetapi terdapat beberapa volume dimana aliran udara mengalami saturasi dan dapat menyebabkan penjebakan uap minyak pendingin pada proses sebelumnya (rolling). Berdasarkan respon pengendalian temperatur (PID), nilai gain proporsioal perlu diperbesar agar settling time menjadi lebih pendek. Waktu konduksi aluminium yag berbeda berdasarkan data eksperimen dan perhitungan teoretis menunjukkan adanya panas yang hilang berlebih selama proses anil, sehingga perbaikan sistem isolasi tungku anil diperlukan. Hasil evaluasi kualitas proses menunjukkan bahwa grafik kendali CUSUM mampu mendeteksi perubahan proses skala kecil dan besar, namun metode ini membutuhkan inspeksi lebih lanjut  apakah data proses keluar dalam batas kendali atau tidak. Grafik kendali EWMA (faktor pembobotan l = 0,6) mampu mendeteksi cacat proses yang lebih banyak (terverifikasi dengan hasil inspeksi) dari grafik kendali CUSUM, sehingga skema EWMA lebih cocok digunakan untuk proses produksi aluminium foil dengan sistem batch.

Abstract Computational investigations on the rib turbulated flow inside a convergent and divergent rectangular channel with square ribs of different rib heights and different Reynolds numbers (Re=20,000, 40,000 and 60,000). The ribs were arranged in a staggered fashion between the upper and lower surfaces of the test section. Computational investigations are carried out using computational fluid dynamic software ANSYS Fluent 14.0. Suitable solver settings like turbulence models were identified from the literature and the boundary conditions for the simulations on a solution of independent grid. Computations were carried out for both convergent and divergent channels with 0 (smooth duct), 1.5, 3, 6, 9 and 12 mm rib heights, to identify the ribbed channel with optimal performance, assessed using a thermo hydraulic performance parameter. The convergent and divergent rectangular channels show higher Nu values than the standard correlation values.

In order to assess the accuracy and validity of subchannel, system, and computational fluid dynamics codes, the Paul Scherrer Institut has participated in the OECD/NRC PSBT benchmark with the thermal-hydraulic system code TRACE5.0 developed by US NRC, the subchannel code FLICA4 developed by CEA, and the computational fluid dynamic code STAR-CD developed by CD-adapco. The PSBT benchmark consists of a series of void distribution exercises and departure from nucleate boiling exercises. The results reveal that the prediction by the subchannel code FLICA4 agrees with the experimental data reasonably well in both steady-state and transient conditions. The analyses of single-subchannel experiments by means of the computational fluid dynamic code STAR-CD with the CD-adapco boiling model indicate that the prediction of the void fraction has no significant discrepancy from the experiments. The analyses with TRACE point out the necessity to perform additional assessment of the subcooled boiling model and bulk condensation model of TRACE.

Studies on the effect of sloshing motion and heave coupling picth after receiving an external force wage varying wave energy and angular variation headings. This study will conduct a study of physical model testing with mooring configuration and MAT-LAB program of mathematical models free floating barge matika mechanism through numerical simulations and computational fluid dynamic (CFD). This riset aims to observe and explain the effect of sloshing on ship motions and the interaction with the research methodology systematically carried through the calculation/numerical simulations (Mathematics and Computational Fluid Dynamics Laboratory), and the physical scale model testing (at Maneuvering and Ocean Engineering Basin).The results of the study through experiments and numerical phenomenon suggests that the effect of sloshing on the effect of ship motion can be well understood. Pressure due to the wave heading angle of 90 degrees gives a higher impact pressure. Style sloshing is not directly proportional to the amplitude of excitation. AbstrakKajian pengaruh dari sloshing terhadap gerakan kopel heave dan picth setelah menerima gaya external berupa energi gelombang yang bervariasi dan variasi sudut heading. Kajian ini akan melakukan kajian pengujian model fisik dengan konfigurasi tambat yang dan program matematik MAT-LAB dari model matematika free floating barge mechanism serta melalui simulasi numerik computational fluid dynamic (CFD).Penelitian bertujuan mengamati dan menjelaskan pengaruh sloshing terhadap gerakan kapal dan interaksi tersebut secara sistimatis dengan metodologi penelitian yang dilakukan melalui perhitungan/ simulasi numerik (mathematics laboratory dan computational fluid dynamics), dan pengujian model skala fisik (di maneuvering and ocean engineering basin). Konfigurasi geometri model yang disimulasikan dan diuji adalah tipe FLNG dengan tangki berisi muatan cair yang memungkinkan terdapat permukaan bebas.Hasil kajian melalui eksperimen dan numerik menunjukkan bahwa efek fenomena sloshing terhadap pengaruh gerakan kapal dapat diketahui dengan baik. Pada sudut heading 900 terdapat gerakan yang tidak jelas sehingga perlu adanya investigasi lebih lanjut. Persamaan nonlinier aliran sloshing sangat diperlukan untuk dapat menghitung besaran gerakan kapal. Tekanan akibat gelombang pada sudut heading 900 memberikan dampak tekanan yang lebih tinggi. Gaya sloshing tidak berbanding lurus dengan amplitudo eksitasi. Oleh karena itu, gerakan kapal ditambah dengan sloshing tidak bervariasi secara linier terhadap amplitudo gelombang.
