CFD Modeling of NACA-2415 Airfoil

Supervisor: Mr. Bilal Khan
Project Team: Rub Nawaz Khalid (ME3-2003), M. Farooq Haider (ME3-2006), Bushra Naz (ME3-2012), Adnan Mehmood (ME3-2014)



Introduction

The Aerodynamic field offers excellent career opportunities for anyone who is related to Mechanical field and has the necessary educational background including extensive training the project on “Airfoil modeling and simulation” covers the modeling (Gambit) details, simulation procedure, measuring the coefficients and finding the lift, drag and moment on different Mach no and different Angle of Attacks.


Main Description

This is basically a theoretical project on CFD Software. The project has following three main phases,
  • Pre-processing which includes geometry creation and mashing by using GAMBIT software.
  • Solving by using FLUENT as solver we determined the required parameters like lift, drag and moments.
  • Post processing includes the interpretation of the results and comparison with reference results.

The New Generation Energy

Biodiesel has been gaining prominence in recent years. Clean and renewable, biodiesel has been touted as the answer to the issue of diminishing energy reserves.

Introduction

This project involves the study and investigation of waste vegetable oil as an alternative fuel for diesel engines. Edible oils, which are used for several times and become unsuitable for further human use, will be used to make a cheaper fuel. In addition, the performance of engine should not be compromised.

Description

Due to overwhelming prices of fossil fuel, there is a need to find an alternate source of energy for our machines. Keeping this in view, we have taken biodegradable fuel as an alternative for fossils fuel in future and compared its different characteristics with ordinary diesel including engine efficiencies as well.

Conclusion

  • Non-toxic and biodegradable
  • Increases life of engine
  • Burns cleaner
  • Safer than petroleum fuels
  • Utilizes waste products
  • Reduces waste products
  • Reduces harmful pollutants emitted into the air
  • Reduces economic losses to our agricultural industry
