Thesis Title: Numerical Analysis of Flow and Temperature Fields in the Single Row Film Cooling Teqnique
Thesis Language: Persian (Farsi)

Abstract:

Gas turbines and related problems are one of the most prominent subjects in whole the world, because of its importance role in aircraft and power generation industries. For example the outlet burned gas temperature of combustion chamber is so high (often up to 2400 K) that it is not bearable for its internal walls. It is worth mentioning that there is a direct relation between generated power and combustion temperature that caused to take higher degrees for more power expectedly. By the way, with any mechanical and metallurgical restrictions it would be controlled the chamber walls and turbine blades temperature and the internal pressure to protect from damages. One of ordinary methods for this reason is film cooling method. In this dissertation, Numerical Analysis of Flow and Temperature Fields in The Single Row Film Cooling Technique has been investigated by FLUENT for five types of elliptic holes. Through the mentioned way, it determines optimum mass flux ratio and momentum flux ratio for each geometry. The applied turbulence model is shear stress transport (k-ω/SST) and the injection angle is 35o. Also the density ratio considered to be 2 and mass flux ratio is moved from 0.1 to 2.0. Comparison of existing experimental and numerical data with present work results for circular geometry shows very acceptable accordance.

Degree: Bachelor of Science (BSc)

University: Sharif University of Technology
Department: The School of Mechanical Engineering
Group: Thermo-Fluid Mechanics

Supervisor: Prof. Mohammad-Hassan Saidi
Thesis Title: Research & Analysis of a Stationary Fuel Cell System for Home Application (CHP)
Thesis Language: Persian (Farsi)

Abstract:
Non renewable resources of energy (such as fossil fuels) because of their limited amount, are being to decline and therefore to hazard the energy source for human in the recent century. So the appropriate fuel selection with low price and environmental friendly instead of fossil fuels and using new energy conversion systems with high efficiency and low pollution is a necessary and vital. One of substituting energy is to produce electricity from fuel cells. Cogeneration (also combined heat and power, CHP) is the use of a heat engine or a power station to simultaneously generate both electricity and useful heat. In Iran using CHP system with less than 50 kW power will be efficient economically and environmentally. This system will have a high efficiency near 90% while in the conventional power plants (gas turbine and steam power plant) the efficiency reaches 30~50%. In this research a stationary fuel cell for home application and based on CHP system investigated & analyzed.
